Dickey) Original-subject: PostScript font Reposted-by: emv@msen.com (Edward Vielmetti, MSEN) I am pleased to announce the availbility of a second PostScript font for APL at the file server "watserv1.waterloo.edu". Files in this collection can be obtained by anonymous ftp from the directory "languages/apl/fonts/PostScript". This font was designed by Joey K Tuttle (thanks Joey), of Reuter:file (previously I.P.Sharp Associates) and supplied by Robert Bernecky, <rbe@yrloc.ipsa.reuter.COM>, of Snake Island Research Inc (thanks Bob). This particular collection of files seems to be designed for use on an IBM PC, because the files have CR,LF at the end of each line and there are references to things like PF1/PF2, and so on, but maybe they could be adapted for use with some other ``platform'', if you know what is going on, or have the help of someone who knows what is going on. Bob has a lot to say about this stuff, and ends his 300+ line "readme" file by listing some reference works and then closes with these words: If you think you are brain damaged, cannot comprehend the contents of the TeXbook, and are sure that there is no sensible organization or sense to the LaTeX books, relax: Nobody else can understand them either. Even things as simple as printing a dollar sign or backslash are less than obvious. However, get it right once, and everything is swell after that. Best of luck, and may you go forth and create beautiful publications. So, to quote RBE: Best of luck, and may you go forth and create beautiful publications. -- Prof L.J.
