Greetings TeXers,

I am searching for an (the?) ftp site for tib v2.2.  I
have access to version 2.0 and its documentation pointed 
me to ``eneevax.umd.edu:pub/tib''.  I could not connect to 
``eneevax.umd.edu''. 

If there is a New and Improved (tm) site, could someone
send it along to me?

Article-I.D.: cfa.1992Apr13.182438.996
Organization: Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, Cambridge, MA,  USA






I was wondering if anyone has created PCF fonts with xtex and tex
and if they do have a suitable script which would automate this procedure.
I am attempting to do this on the SUnos4.1.1, running X11R5, installing
SeeTeX-2.17.3.

The last time I created SNF fonts for xtex ( when running X11R4),
I had used the font_maker.sh script which came with the tex3.14 distribution 
since i was unable to figure out how to automate font creation with utilities 
in the SeeTeX/xtex distribution.

Any help in this matter is appreciated.

Thank you.

Subject:      What is the New Font Selection Scheme?)

I know that there is something called a New Font Selection Scheme and that
I have to get the latest LaTeX release to use it. What I want to know is

1. If someone sends me a LaTeX document (the .tex file) that uses NFSS
   can I print it without the latest version? I guess this depends on the
   answer to the next question...

2. How does the scheme work, and what is the advantage of using it?

3. Is there any connection between this new scheme and the upgrade to TeX 3?
   or are they independent developments? What about the recent upgrade to
   plain.tex?

I've read through the FAQ's and while NSFF is mentioned, it is not explained.

Organization: Lehigh University

The specific problem I would like to solve is to generate a wide table
in landscape format.  In solving this problem I would also get the
general answer for rotating text, a table, or a figure.

I am currently using emtex (v 3.0[3a]) with latex (v 2.09--10Jan92).
I have tried rotate.sty (25Nov90) to rotate a table created by the
tabular environment.  I get no errors from latex, but the output is
not rotated (as viewed by ghostscript (v 2.4)).  I have also tried
various style sheets obtained from ftp sites, but to no avail.

Anybody with experience in generating landscape output using latex or
tex (I'm willing to switch if necessary--or write my own macro),
please respond.  I will gladly summarize the responses.

Thanks in advance.

I am trying to include postscript figures with the epsfbox macro for 
printing with dvips (version 5.41, but 5.47 does the same).  The
annoying thing is that dvips rotates figures at its own gusto.

I have a bunch of identical ps files (except a few data points) which
have a BoundingBox properly defined.  On some pages the figures are
printed in the correct orientation and everything looks fine, on others
they are rotated by 90 degrees.  I can't see any pattern when that
happens.  To make it more interesting, some figures are actually in
landscape mode, others are in portrait.  But the problem occurs for
both sorts of figures and I first have all the landscape stuff and
later the protrait.  As I understand it, there is no rotation option
with the epsf macros.  But obviously, something must rotate the figures.

Any ideas?

BibTeX is more widely used, but Tib is infinitely more flexible.

Originator: news@ernie.Princeton.EDU


I have macros to insert marginal notes to the right of points in my text
(they use vadjust and work fine). The book has now been accepted by the
publisher, so I have to clean up my TeX... In particular, I'd like the
marginal notes to appear in the left margin in lefthand pages, and the
right in righthand pages. 

This appears to be hard. The TeXBook's nearest hint is to set up a new
insertion type, but this means that all of the notes appear at the top
of the margin; not what I want. It can be done in LaTeX, but I don't
want to convert to LaTeX, and the macros are opaque to my gaze and do
unspeakable things to output routines.
			
You can't just change things in headline, of course, as the top of the
next page is already set by then. I can't think of a way to expand
macros while the page is being shipped out, which would work. Maybe
something to do with marks....

Any ideas?

Actually, while it is true that the printed version of the manual which you

you do not have to be a member to purchase it.  We are more than happy to
