Subject: Greek fonts with "breathings" for Tex

Does anyone know where such fonts can be found?  Please note that we need
all of the accents...   so the standard Greek fonts that are used in 
mathematics e.g. are inadequate.   Carl Riehm. 
P.S.  We ultimately want to produce a postsctipt file....

I've put a bunch of PK files for the standard 35 PostScript fonts on
  ftp.cs.umb.edu [192.12.26.23]:pub/tex/psfonts.tar

It's about 4MB.

I made the PK files from the fonts distributed with Ghostscript.  Since
those fonts are, for the most part, constructed simply of line segments,
these PK files are not perhaps the most typographically wonderful things
in the world.  But they are good enough to see what characters are
where, which is all I cared about.

I used the `gsrenderfont' and related programs in the GNU font utilities
(on prep.ai.mit.edu, among many other places) to make the PK files.
(Except that some bugs were found making them, so the version on prep
doesn't work on a few of the fonts.  I can send diffs if anyone wants them.)

They are in the ``dvips'' encoding.  You can get dvips from
labrea.stanford.edu:pub/dvips*.tar.Z.  (gsrenderfont can generate them
in any encoding.)

I and others are working on making good free fonts for GNU, by running
scanned images of old type speciments (of public domain designs) through
the font utilities.  If you would like to help, send me mail.  (The
first step is getting the font utilities and compiling them.)

	Has such a thing as Lisp WEB been invented yet?
	If so, where can I get it from?

Does anybody know how to use MacMetafont (the Macintosh version of

TFM files from MF files obtained, for example, by anonymous ftp.
Any help would be appreciated because I tried a certain number of feature
and I never achieved to obtain what I was wanted (especially in PK files in
different sizes).

Why don't you use \footnotenumber[123]  (it is called somthing differnt, I just
can't thinks of the right name at the momemt, but it is the same you would use
in e.g. a tabel enviroment) and then use at the *end* of your document
(just before \end(document) ) the \footnotetext[123](text) command.
Only problem is, you have watch the numbering of the footnotes yourself. 

Does anyone have a better suggestion ?

I have version 2.07 which does that.  Basically you can create the
equations by clicking on all kinds of elements and symbols.  The
default output is a PICT, but Expressionist comes with an option which
lets you output as TeX formatting.  Interestingly this is TeX not
LaTeX but I have found that replacing the $$'s with \begin{equation}
and \end{equation} is sufficient to make it work in LaTeX without
choking latex.  Expressionist includes its own formatting as TeX
comments which allow for subsequent editing of the equation in
Expressionist.  That basically means that Expressionist can only write
TeX and not read it (but it can read from the comments it includes
with the TeX that it generates).

I am not ashamed to say that I have forgotten most of the math mode
keywords in LaTeX.  I used to find this the toughest part of TeX,
requiring a lot of iterations to get it right and now it is almost the
easiest.  I have yet to come across an equation that I couldn't format
using Expressionist.

serves as a good template for what to look for in creating your own

the only trouble is that when you have to group tables for a chapter at
the end, i.e. after all paragraphs.  Then obviously the {text} from your
\footnotetext shows up *before* the table which it annotates.

After reading p.99 of Lamport's book a few more times and hints from
two helpful netters, I think minipage together with \footnotemark,\footnotetext
should be sufficient for my needs.

What is ps2mf, and where can I get it? It sounds like just what I
need.  I'm playing with turning .pfb fonts into .pk fonts on a PC by
digitizing them with ADOBE's digitizer into .sfp fonts for the
laserjet, and them using Norm Walsh's sfptopk to make .pk fonts out of
them. If I could turn them into .mf fonts and run metafont on them, I
would prefer it.

I did a search for "ps2mf" and "pstomf" on archie and turned up
nothing. Also, I'm on a DOS platform.  Could someone who knows about
ps2mf comment on how hard a port would be?  (i.e., how much does this
use megabyte arrays and system calls to UNIX utilities). The latter is
the bigger problem, since djgpp can handle big memory demands.

On the subject, Eberhard Mattes posted something a while back to the effect
that someone (not him) was writing a pfbtopk program. If that person is
listening, how's the project going? Can we expect something (even an alpha or
beta) soon?

Jon

	I want to thank all of the people who have taken the time to reply to
my question earlier:

		Mr. Pete Harlan (harlan@copper.ucs.indiana.edu)
		Mr. Charles Lin (clin@eng.umd.edu)
		Mr. Paul Palmer (palmer@math.orst.edu)
		Mr. Richard Stanton (rstanton@garnet.berkeley.edu)
		Mr. Mark M. Lacey (lacey@eng.msu.edu)

	Some of them even reached me just 20 minutes after I posted the question!
(God, I love this networking stuff!)

	Most of you suggested the "The TeXBook" by Don Knuth and the "LaTeX:
A Document Preparation System" by Leslie Lamport books.  Once I got the
chance (and the money) to buy/order them, I will.

	As for other books, I will see what I can learn from the above books
first and if they are too specific (you know what I mean), I will probably
buy other texts on TeX/LaTeX.  But reading your comments on those two books,
I doubt if I need to do so.

	Once again, thank you very much to take the time to reply to my question,
I wish I have time to thank you personally but I do not (I have to finish
my project first and then I am going to Madison, Wisconsin!  YIPPEEE!).
