[comp.sys.next] NeXTTeX

rokicki@neon.Stanford.EDU (Tomas G. Rokicki) (04/23/91)

For the solution to a few problems, try dvips5.47 from labrea.stanford.edu;
it should fix the accent problems.  (Don't forget to get dvipslib.tar.Z and
install the new vf and tfm files.)

TeXView can't `handle' any fonts that you don't have on the NeXT; if you
try Palatino without having installed Palatino, don't be surprised when it
doesn't work in TeXView.

To print to a non-NeXT PostScript printer from TeXView, you will have to
select `custom resolution' and enter the appropriate number; this is my
bug, sorry.

I am working on an update to the software; I do not know when or how it will
be available, but when it is, I will post to this group.

On labrea.stanford.edu in a file called ~ftp/pub/nexttex.tar.Z are new
executables for TeX and iniTeX that will handle larger hyphenation patterns,
as well as executables for a newer dvips that works around a bug in the
2.0/2.1 PostScript interpreter that affects the way rules are drawn.

If anyone successfully uses this for Dutch or German hyphenation, please
send me mail confirming that it works for you.

Another `update' to NeXT TeX has been loaded on labrea.stanford.edu; this
one fixes a few problems with TeXview.   -tom
