I fixed the problem -- turned out that whoever installed metafont
constructed a mf.base file (or plain.base file) without any mode_def support
(at least not for the output devices that we have.  The solution was to
first :
	Fix the config.ps which was set to default at 400, since we have
		300dpi devices here :-(.  (my stupid mistake)
	Fix the mf.base file in the bases directory, which was causing
		problems since it didn't have the proper mode defs, by
		re-dumping it with plain.mf and the modes.mf file from
		ftp.cs.umb.edu (thanks to the authors, for including docs in
		the file for how to do that! internal and online
		documentation aren't too clear in that respect!)

Anyway, it works, and thanks to all for suggestions and hints...

Everyone is required to get DM Jones' excellent tex-index before posting.
After you get it, look for "Carlisle" (master TeXnician), and you will
find a solution.

Scientific Word was reviewed in the latest Notices of the American Math
Society - The review was fairly positive (though when I tried it on a
friend's machine I found it slow and clunky - the previewer was terrible,
the tex'ing was much slower than I like, and any user-defined macros just
get "blotted" out from the main interface/editor by a grey box (you can
double click on said box to reveal the code however).  I'd say it was for
folk who use LaTeX "out-of-the-box" - not for power-users at all, and
frustrating if you have any special effects you need to create (I write lots
of commutative diagrams and S.W. just cannot cope with that sort of thing -
in effect you are back at your "text editor and previewer" mode, with slower
performance to boot.)

ANNOUNCEMENT --- ASCREEN 3.2
============================

I'm pleased to announce that the newest version of ASCREEN, the DVI
previewer for Atari computers, is now available for anonymous FTP.
Enhancements in this version include

- Fixes for various bugs in font handling, screen management and GEM
  support. In particular, the bothersome bug concerning slashes in IMG
  file names and the other bothersome bug concerning auto-repeat scroll
  arrows have been removed.
- Facing pages can be shrunk and displayed together. A unique
  `recto-verso mode' lets you page forward and back by two pages like in a
  book.
- Extended keyboard commands for shrinking pages, setting the shrink factor,
  and closing windows without having to use the mouse.
- Extended dialog boxes; many settings that required editing the setup file
  can now be performed from within the program.
- Better handling of various error conditions.
- Support for CSG level 2 graphics and tpic \specials (mostly).
- German manual included (sorry folks, German only)
- Besides an example (in C) for `remote control' of ASCREEN, the
  distribution contains `FontList', a program which lists the fonts
  used in a document. The source code for this program is included, too.

You may get and use ASCREEN for free. You may also redistribute the
program, as long as you don't make any money off it or pretend that you
wrote it.

ASCREEN 3.2 is available for anonymous FTP from
ftp.math.uni-frankfurt.de [141.2.90.2], directory pub/atari:

	ascr32.zoo	- software, examples, Readme file etc.
	ascr32dv.zoo	- DVI file for (German) user manual
	ascr32tx.zoo	- TeX source code for the manual

(The manual is quite big, and I have separated it from the main
distribution so people who don't read German don't have to fetch it
anyhow. There is a short English introduction in ENGINTRO.TXT.) Some
other goodies, e. g., ready-made FLIB files with the most important
LaTeX fonts and AMSFonts, may be retrieved from there as well.

*Please note that this site is in Germany, Europe, and retrieve the
software only at off-peak times, that is, 1800-0800 hours CET
(UT+0100), or during the weekend.*

There is a mailing list for announcements, bug reports, comments,
questions and general discussion about ASCREEN; send mail to
`ascreen-request@math.uni-frankfurt.de' to subscribe or to find out
more.

I managed to make 3 errors in my short note.
I give a corrected version below,
since this is easily the nicest script font I have seen.

(1) The style file was stolen from euscript.sty, not euler.sty

I would very much appreciate a response to the 
following question, a problem that I am having
in displaying an equation:


How does one go about stacking two math expressions
on top of each other in equation mode?  Let us say
I have this simple equation     a = T(x,y)   and I
wish to put another math expression such as {p \in R}
*under* the T, in such a way that 

   o Vertical alignment of the equation is not disturbed,
   o And, {p \in R} appears in script size while the rest
     of the equation is in normal math size.

Please note that something like T_{p \in R} is not what
I am looking for.  The expression has to be under the 
function T, not as a subscript.  I have also tried \stackrel
and \atop but so far with no success.

Many thanks!!

If you want to rotate text from within TeX, you need fonts containing
rotated letters, unless ... you use PostScript! (Or whatever device the

rotate.sty works with dvips.

Hi, and "Kon-nichiwa,"

	I am a student of Russian department at a university in Japan.
I'm researching about Russian-text-processing with TeX. Could someone
help me?
	Now I have two cyrillic-font-sets; WNCYR (in AMS-fontsetV2.0);
CMCYR(Computer modern Cyrillic font set). Speaking about CMCYR, I have
only 10pt.(in design size) font of various typefaces. Are there any 
smaller sized font? I tested METAFONT to make smaller size (e.g. 
"mag=0.5"...). But their forms got almost broken. ( Can't use them as
fonts...) The laser printer which I use is Imagen's 300dpi.

	The problem is "Aren't there any other sized-fonts of CMCYR?"
and "Where can I get them? " ( I can use FTP)
		* I read the font-definition-file using NFSS in CMCYR
		 package. There are lines which define smaller fonts.
		 (CMCYR5,CMCYR6...) So, I think, they may exist.
	At last, is the Mailing-List for Russian-TeX still working?
Can I have a contact with them?

 My English is very 'read-able'. I'm sorry. And thanks in advance.

Apologies in advance if this is a FAQ, but I haven't been able to sort
this problem out.

Does anyone know if it is possible to set up Textures (under System 7) so
that the CM fonts are loaded only when Textures is loaded (and not at
system boot time), and unloaded when Textures is quit?

The reason why I am asking is that the CM fonts are space-consuming, and
I definitely do not need them with any  application other than Textures. 
I think that System 6 had  a way of associating fonts to specific
applications, but I do not know how this was done (and, more importantly,
I do not know whether this is possible in System 7).

Thanks a lot to anyone who will provide information.

Some days ago I asked:

    I'm looking for a way to load a font (the same as using \font) such
    that:

    1. no error occurs if the TFM file cannot be found;

    2. there is a way to test whether the loading actually succeeded or
    not (e.g., by using \ifx on the control sequence that's supposed to
    hold the loaded font).

Thanks to those who answered me: Joerg-Martin Schwarz, Ronald Kappert,
and above all David Carlisle, who forwarded me a recent posting to
comp.text.tex by Anil Trivedi that gives the solution.  I quote David:

    The basic idea is to put TeX into batchmode before loading the font
    (so that TeX does not stop on the error if the font is missing, and
    then check using \ifx that the identifier is not equal to \nullfont)

In other words:

\batchmode\font\XXX=ZZZ at 11pt\errorstopmode% try to load
\ifx\XXX\nullfont%		not found
	...
\else%				font loaded and available
	...%			under name \XXX
\fi

There is only one catch (quote from David):

    The main problem here is a deficiency in TeX - \batchmode is a global
    change, and there is no way of recording the current mode. Usually
    people just go \errorstop mode after the special test, but this fails
    if (eg in AUC-TeX) the document is being processed in a different
    mode, like \scrollmode.

I only use the ``standard'' LaTeX processing mode, so this doesn't
apply to me, and I'm very happy, this works great!

Many thanks to you all.

   the bitmap being on separate lines of the form
     %I <bitmap data>
 - However, dvips *removes* all postscript lines starting with an
   "%", so all the bitmap data is deleted by dvips and is not output in
   the resulting postscript file.
 - I guess dvips thinks that these lines are comments. but the bitmap *does*
   get printed when I preview the output of dvips with programs such as
   'ghostview'

Any idea on what the problem is here? I would appreciate any
suggestions!

thanks in advance

As a demonstration of the TeX language, I've heard that someone
actually wrote a BASIC interpreter in TeX. Is this true, or just
common TeX--lore? Is there a reference?

I'm preparing a presentation on TeX to (probably) a WYSIWYG audience 
of engineers.
