HI,

I have just installed emTeX on my PC and it works fine.  I 'd like to thank

Are there any way to make PK fonts from TFM fonts?

I have a DVI file that contains Chinese characters. When I run
dvilj2p it attempts to make PK fonts using MakeTeXPK: 
 	MakeTeXPK chfont0 3000 300 10+0/300 1>&2

MakeTeXPK calls mf, and mf wants to input chfont.mf, which I
don't have. But I do have chfont0.tfm which is tfm font for
Chinese characters.

Any help is appreciated.

The following technique is widely used in Metafont,
but I haven't seen it mentioned in connection with TeX/LaTeX,
though it seems to me it may sometimes be useful.
(If everybody except me has been using this trick for years,
please ignore the posting!)

Let me give an example.
Here is the beginning of a LaTeX file vi.tex:

===========================================

\ifx\TCDarms\undefined
%% Non-PostScript version
\documentstyle[12pt,a4]{article}
\title{Vi for beginners}
\else
%% PostScript version with college arms
\documentstyle[epsf,12pt,a4]{article}
\title{
\vspace*{-4cm}
\epsfxsize=3cm\mbox{\epsffile{/usr/local/lib/tex/inputs/Local/tcdarms.pss}}\\[5mm]
Vi for beginners}
\fi

===========================================

Now if I want to latex this with our college arms, I say

% latex "\def\TCDarms{}\input vi"

If I want to latex it without the arms I just say

% latex vi

This ruse might be useful if one wanted different versions of a file
according to the printer in use,
eg a PostScript printer incorporating PS graphics
agains a non-PostScript printer.
Or if one wanted to send away a file
with some locally defined logo on it.

Just a thought ...

Interesting problem here that I do not see covered in the FAQ.  If I want
to write a line of text in the middle of an eqnarray environment, I
usually do something like this:

\begin{eqnarray}
&=&blah-blah-blah\\
&=&blah-blah-blah\\
& &{\rm I~put~text~in~here~with~these~silly~tildes}\\
&=&more equations
\end{eqnarray}

which works pretty well except that I have to use those tildes.  Also,
it's awkward when I want to use more than just a few words of text
especially when I want to put a few lines in.  When I end the
environment, pop into LR mode and, restart the environment, I lose
alignment between what is essentially the same series of equations.

Does anyone know of an equation array environment which allows you to
include text that
a) briefly pops you into LR mode so that you don't have to use \rm and ~
b) will wrap several lines of roman text using the same margins as the
parent environment.

I checked the equation style files on ymir and the other archives and
have not seen anything which does this.  TIA

Subject: Embedding \if's in TeX.  How?
Organization: University of Maryland, College Park
Date: Sun, 27 Dec 1992 16:15:33 GMT

I'd like to embed several \if\else\fi groups, but it doesn't seem to
work.  For example

\iftesta ...
	\else ...
	\iftestb
		\iftestc ...
		\fi
	\else ...
\fi

I keep getting error messages about extra \else's.  I'm sure the
\if's, \else's and \fi's are matches.

I think what's might be happening is that TeX is ignoring the embedded
\if's if the first test fails, and then seeing the embedding \fi, and
thinking it matches the matrix \fi.  Is this so?  Is there a
workaround?

paul duggan asks what the differences are between amsfonts 2.0
and amsfonts 2.1.

attached is a portion of the READ.ME file that is included with
the distribution at e-math.ams.org in /ams/amsfonts/READ.ME .
						-- bb
			--------------------

NOTE: MANY OF THE TFM FILES FOR AMSFONTS HAVE CHANGED FROM VERSION 2.0.
Line and page breaks may be affected by these changes. Therefore, we
suggest that you regenerate any DVI files which refer to these fonts,
after version 2.1 has been installed.

------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT CHANGES WERE MADE IN VERSION 2.1, AND WHY SHOULD EVERYONE UPGRADE?

The changes which you will most readily notice are:

1.   All of the Euler Bold are more bold and extended. In previous releases,
     eufb was difficult to distinguish from eufm. Now they are more
     distinguishable.

2.   The Euler fonts in sizes smaller than 10 point were beefed up a bit
     so that they stand out more when used in subscripts and superscripts
     with 10 point text.

3.   The Metafont code for Blackboard Bold was changed so that these characters
     are much improved at low resolutions. Blackboard Bold characters on your
     screen or dot-matrix printer will no longer be ugly and unrecognizable.

4.   There was a bug in the MSAM fonts which caused them to have different
     TFM files when generated by Metafont at different resolutions. This led
     to different TFMs for the same fonts in different locations. Now there is
     one TFM which will be consistent everywhere (everywhere that version 2.1
     has been installed, that is).

5.   A few other changes were made which are less noticeable. A change in
     the code for EUEX eliminated a Metafont error with the 240dpi mode.
     A Metafont error which sometimes appeared in the Counter-clockwise
     Arrow was eliminated. Slight changes to some parameters in CMEX9 made it
     compatible with a previously existing version.

The reason everyone should upgrade is simple: In order to solve the problems
which existed in version 2.0, the metrics of some of the fonts were changed.
This means that the TFM files are different, which means that TeX will produce
different line and page breaks. If everyone upgrades to the new version, then
the portability of TeX, one of its greatest assets, will remain intact. If
you continue to use an old version of these fonts, then your output files may
not be portable to other sites. So, PLEASE encourage all of your friends and
colleagues to upgrade to AMSFonts 2.1 to avoid confusion and errors.

Date: 30 Dec 1992 21:40:02 GMT

NNTP-Posting-Host: gazpacho.berkeley.edu

I am trying to write a tex macro that needs to print a
file name as part of what it does.  The macro does not
work if the file name has an underscore character in it,
since it interprets the underscore as the subscript
character and starts inserting $ signs.

The crux of what I am trying to do is:

\def\foo#1{ {\tt #1} }

\foo{file_name.ext}

I tried defining foo as follows:

\def\foo#1{ {\catcode`_=12 {\tt #1} } }

but that does not work either.  I tried many different
variations without any success.  It appears that I have
to do the catcode stuff when I invoke foo:

{\catcode`_=12 \foo{file_name.ext} }

Is there a way of avoiding this and doing everything
inside the macro?

Thanks,
mtr

I believe that Plain TeX has no command to do what you want. However, 
the book "TeX for the Impatient" shows the definition of such a macro,
\obeywhitespace, on page. 293.

The CM fonts of TeX are bitmap fonts and if those are scaled down
to smaller sizes, the results will not be good.

The best solution is to use Postscript fonts in your documents
which are vector fonts and can be scaled down without problems.

I got the C version of dvitovdu from ymir.claremont.edu in the DRIVERS

pieces. I had to get btoa and atob (from ftp.uu.net comp.sources.misc,
vol. 6 - is there a more recent version?)  and tried it. I do

	cat the_pieces | atob > dvitovdu.tar.Z

and try to uncompress. Uncompress complains about illegal input. I btoa
the result and compare it with the original - they are different.

So either my btoa/atob is bad or the files in ymir are bad. I'd
appreciate hearing from anyone who has gotten past this?

I also tried to look in the DRIVERS directory in ftp.shsu.edu. But ftp
complains that the directory cannot be opened. I have no problems with
other directories. George, can you check?

Of course, dvitovdu is what I am really after. Archie revealed nothing.
Can anybody point to an anonymous ftp site other than the above? Or is
anyone able to provide me the source through e-mail?

The input file that generated this message is:

\documentstyle[12pt,fullpage,amstex,amssymb,amsfonts,epsf,epic,eepic,eepicemu,rawfonts]{article}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}
\input{ex.eepic}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

where ex.eepic is a xfig generated figure exported with eepic macros.

I would be very appreciative of any suggestions.

Thankyou,

Charles

Do any readers of comp.text.tex know of the so-called ``Unicode Standard:

Worldwide Character Encoding''? This is something I just found out about

today while browsing the shelves of (of all places!) Walden Software shop.

This is very exciting and I would like to be a part of this (whatever it

is) since I am polyglot. Is there a newsgroup for the Unicode Standard?

Any information is appreciated!
