[comp.sys.next] TeX on the NeXT.

tsui@cica.cica.indiana.edu (Yufeng Tsui) (06/14/90)

How do I configure the TeX so that I can use the postscript fonts?  I need
to print with times-roman and helvetica and can't seem to get it to work.
BTW,  I use a laserwriter instead of NeXT printer.  Thanks.

to use Postscript text fonts in TeX, i just use \font commands like

    \font\tenrm=Times-Roman at 10pt

and everything works perfectly.  if you'd like to use them for math,
you'll also have to say things like \textfont0=\tenrm (i'd recommend
sticking with the TeX fonts for math symbols).
