I've updated the Lucida font distribution to version 1.2.

	ftp.cs.umb.edu [192.12.26.23]:pub/tex/lucida/lucida.tar.Z

These files will be of no use to you unless you also have the Type 1
PFA/PFB/etc. files with the outlines.

Changes in this release:

* \cdot (and hence \cdots) spacing corrected (vastly decreased).

* Use dvips' new afm2tfm program.

* New version of psnfss.sup for using these fonts with NFSS.

The distribution includes the math fonts as a (more or less) drop-in
replacement for Computer Modern.  I've worked some on the magic math
font parameters, but no doubt improvements are possible.

I suggest using Tom Rokicki's dvips as your DVI-to-PostScript program.
dvips is on labrea.stanford.edu:pub/dvips*.tar.Z, and my hacked version
with the same path searching algorithm is on
ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/dvipsk.tar.Z.  The afm2tfm program in those
distributions is what I used to create the virtual fonts.

Thanks to Sebastian Rahtz, who did much of the initial work, and Chuck
Bigelow and Kris Holmes, who designed the typefaces.

Does there exist a comparison, or could someone come up with
one, between emTeX, OzTex, and TeXTures?  I'd like to know the
answers to the following questions, only a few which are covered
in the FAQ's:

How easy is it to install? (including all the required fonts, MetaFont,
if necessary/appropriate, etc.)

Does "it" include pure TeX, LaTex, and BibTex? SlitTex?  (Although
I've used all those on a Unix box, I don't really understand the
difference between the set of macros that define, say LaTeX, and
those that make up an "ordinary" .sty file -- the former seems to
get "compiled" in some way, the latter just included at runtime.)

Does a dvips and dvi previewer exist?

Can it use the NFSS?  Can it use PostScript fonts?

Regardless of the above, but probably dependent on it, how easy
is it to install/use different fonts?  Of what kinds?
(My observation-at-a-distance so far is that dealing with fonts,
on any platform, whether you're talking about TeX or not, is in
league with dealing with communications protocols in difficulty
and as guaranteed life-employement for experts in the field.)

Which (in general) of all the available .sty files can it use? not use?

Any other important similar questions I've missed, including other
opitions (than Unix Tex) for Intel and Mac platforms?  (I assume
there isn't yet a OS/2-specific port.)

I had requested for help regarding inclusion of postscript figures into LaTeX.
I got a lot of help.

Everyone asked me to junk dvitps,and reco'd dvips ONLY.
I showed the mail I got to my sysadmins, and they said
no becuase of disk space limitations and that they were too busy for these
special (one-user) requests.  But I managed to find another machine that runs
dvi2ps.  But I do not know what should be done to include figures in dvi2ps.

The \psfig command did not work...  Is there a different command for dvi2ps ??

I got the following line (too long)...

[/usr/local/lib/tex/tex.ps] [1dvi2ps: Invalid keyword or value in \special - "ps::[begin]" ignoreddvi2ps: Invalid keyword or value in \special - "28101770" ignoreddvi2ps: Invalid keyword or value in \special - "11319658" ignoreddvi2ps: Invalid keyword or value in \special - "-65781" ignoreddvi2ps: Invalid keyword or value in \special - "-65781" ignoreddvi2ps: Invalid keyword or value in \special - "28035989" ignored  <contd.....>

The test file I used was :-

I just installed TeX 3.141 (on a sun4) from ftp.cs.umb.edu. I didn't
update much else, so LaTeX 2.09 was created again.

Unfortunately, this has caused hyphenation problems.
I recall reading about this many moons ago on comp.text.tex,
but I don't recall the solution.

Is it as simple as getting a new hyphen.tex and redumping the formats? 
The one that I have is dated 24 Oct 1989 (didn't see a version number 
or anything in it).

I hope to update LaTeX soon---is this part of the necessary fix?

Hi Everybody:

I created a figure using PaintBrush in Windows 3.1 and saved it

in .PCX format. I included this figure in my LaTeX document using

\special{em:graph figure.pcx}.

The size of the figure when I view the document is much smaller

than the one I get when I print directly from PaintBrush.

How can I increase the size of the figure in the LaTeX print-out ?

Will greatly appreciate any help...

The answer of Barbara Beeton explains what was wrong but unfortunately does
not give the solution if someone really needs to use left on one line and
right on the next. Therefore I supply the missing point.

TeX says that left and right must be matched but the type of the delimiter
may be different. You therefore can use a dot as a delimiter which produces
nothing. The equation may look as:

$$ left(   some stuff   right. 
   left.   other stuff   right) $$

If the height of "some stuff" is not the same as the height of "other stuff",
you will get delimiters of different size. To equalize the sizes you have to
insert an empty box of an appropriate height.

I had the same problem some time ago with LaTeX and proved that this solution
works.

I modified the letter document style slightly into a fax document

Corel only imports EPS that is in Adobe Illustrator format.  I don't know
of any way to turn arbitrary postscript into AI EPS.  If the originating
program can produce AI EPS, CGM, or HPGL you can import to Corel in a
vector format.  Otherwise you might use ghostscript to convert to one
of the bitmap formats that Corel can import.  If the illustration is
fairly simple line art, Corel Trace can re-generate the outlines from
a bitmap if you want to be able to edit in vector format.

Macintosh WP from version 2.0 can read RTF (and write it from 2.1 and up).
Are you using DOS WP?  That might not have this capability.

Macintosh WP doesn't understand some of the special-character control
words, e.g., \bullet, \lquote, \rquote, \ldblquote, \rdblquot.

Thanks to everyone who replied to my question about RTF format. Here is
the answer, in case anyone has the same problem again.

RTF stands for Rich Text Format, which was developed by Microsoft and is
used by MS Word (DOS and Windows). However, other word processors, such
as WordPerfect, may be able to convert this format.  Additionally, NeXT's
Edit feature apparently uses this format as well. There is (out in anon-
FTP land somewhere) a set of RTF utilities.

Again, many thanks to those who replied to my post; I hope this summary
will be useful to someone!

If it's truly RTF any word processor like Word or WordPerfect will be able

No, it can't.

Somebody recently posted here that it could, but I don't believe them
because I have tried it.  Maybe they have the 5.3.1 patch tape?

To share contents between components of the same type within a book, you have to
meet the following preconditions:

     1. You have to use the BookCatalog feature.

     2. You have to have a Catalog in the Book which contains the master 
	definition of the component type (just copy one instance of the component
	into the Catalog).

	content components.

     4. The Catalog must export components (you set this on the Desktop Object
	Property sheet).
