Date: Thu, 10 Sep 92 23:52:13 GMT

Does any one know the proper (best-looking) Metafont mode definitions for
the Panasonic KXP-4455 laser printer? We have looked in the latest version
on modes.mf by Karl Berry, and do not see the Panasonic listed. We are
currently using the definition for the Canon CX, which looks ok, but
could possibly be improved. I think the printer engine is made by Panasonic,
but I am open to correction on that.

If you have any experience or suggestions, please e-mail.

If anyone knows of a source of such a program for either unix or VAX

Date: 10 Sep 92 17:31:08 GMT

I have a letterhead style which uses an included postscript logo and
uses the \headline and \footline of TeX to do the work.

Since I'd like to be able to use LaTeX's letter style, I need to know
how to do the same thing in LaTeX. Page 204 of the LaTeX reference
manual says:

``The following commands that require Plain {\TeX}'s output routines
are obsolete. They are replaced by {\LaTeX}'s footnote-making commands
and its {\tt figure} and {\tt table} environments.''

\headline and \footline are listed in these obsolete commands. I tried
using the myheadings \pagestyle and \markright but it did not produce
the headings I wanted.

Am I even going down the right path? Has someone done this already?
What commands in LaTeX should I use in lieu of \headline and \footline?

The best would be, wenn I may find something like that:

Input ist a n-array relation, 
output is is a graph with namend knotes and arrows.

I think TreeTeX.sty exist to print trees, so there may be a style for graph printing anywhere.

Date: 15 Sep 92 16:36:48 GMT
Organization: Harris Computer Systems Division

I did this for hours and hours when I was porting TeX to my AViiON. It is
a subtle and creepy error. What is actually happening is this:

   On your aviion in the /usr/include directory there is a file named
   memory.h which is included by /usr/include/string.h

   In your TeX source directory there is a file named memory.h which
   TeX is using for soemthing or other.

   The TeX Makefiles run the compiler with lots of -I flags telling the
   preprocessor where to find things.

   The preprocessor winds up either getting /usr/include/memory.h where
   it expects the local memory.h or vice-versa (I forget which).

Personally, I was disgusted by DG referencing a non-standard header in
string.h, so I changed the /usr/include/string.h on my system to inline
expand the stuff it actually needed from memory.h.

If you aren't the sysadm of this DG system, you might have to do something
like make a local copy of the /usr/include/string.h file in the same directory
which already has the local copy of memory.h and fix your copy of string.h
to expand the stuff from /usr/include/memory.h

Good luck.

Hi,

\hyphenation{op\'e-ra-tion}
ie. how is it possible to put accentuated words in the hyphen

The command above is false because \' is not a letter :-)
And the command \hyphenation{operation} does nothing.

Subject: Format LaTeX into plain ASCII with new version of LameTeX (1.1)
Organization: Brown University Department of Computer Science
Date: Wed, 9 Sep 1992 03:51:57 GMT

Hi everybody! This is Jon Monsarrat from Brown University.

LameTeX is a neat-o PostScript and C++ program that is a clone of LaTeX.
It lets you format text inside a non=rectangular page, like a circle,
triangle, or any bounding PostScript path.

LameTeX also allows you to include lots of fancy graphics, both "simple"
and "fancy PostScript hacker".

There is a new version of LameTeX, version 1.1, that can convert a simple
LaTeX .tex file into plain ASCII output. Just type

lametex -t yourfile.tex

   ...and it produces...

yourfile.txt

Also included in this version are the following additional LaTeX commands:

\ref \label \part* \chapter* \section* \subsection* \subsubsection*
\paragraph* \subparagraph*

The new version of LameTeX is now available at the ftp site
wilma.cs.brown.edu (128.148.31.66) as "pub/lametex.tar.Z".

Please tell me what you think! Version 1.1 brought to you by people
who cared enough to make enchancement requests.

I'll be happy to email a copy to anyone who does not have ftp access.

   Within LaTeX, is it possible to change the left margin temporarily and

   array, etc.?  This comes up when writing proofs of results, where one says

   Thm  blah blaah .....

[...]

   BTW  A related desire is to be able to hfill within the  eqnarray* or array
	environments.    This was implicitly done in my above proof, where
	QED was on the same line as array stuff.



% Try the following scheme:


Thm  blah blaah .....

Proof:
\begin{itemize}
  \item [($\Rightarrow$)]
	proof proof proof proof proof proof proof proof proof proof

	\hfill\(
	\begin{array}{cc}
	 array & stuff 
	\end{array}
	\)
	\hfill QED
\end{itemize}

\hfill within array seems to be hard. If you really need something
that looks like that encapsulate the array in a minipage and \hfill
after the minipage.

A very helpful message from Timothy Van Zandt:

> I have tried to put a box around a LaTeX equation environment but it
> causes an error in TeX. Is this possible using your package and if so how?

The problem you are running into has nothing to do with your framebox
macros. You need to put the equation in a \parbox or minipage. E.g.,
try this:

\documentstyle{article}

\begin{document}

\framebox{%
  \parbox{3in}{%
    \begin{equation}
      x + y = z
    \end{equation}}}

\end{document}


However, if you can handle PostScript, then do try the PSTricks macro.
You can get very nice oval, shaded, double and elliptic framed boxes,
with lots of control and color/grayscales, etc. Framed boxes are just the
tip of the iceberg.

   What are these "scanned type speciman images" and where are
   they coming from.

From type specimen books that are either uncopyrighted, or of specimens
that are pre-1900 or maybe early 20th century.

In any case, the original images are not being distributed as the fonts;
and the eventual fonts that are made from them will doubtless be
considerably different.

However, while this might or might not assuage your concerns, I think
there is a fundamental difference of opinion (I just had this discussion
on comp.fonts):

    I certainly hope that the Gnu project is not stealing fonts

What you call ``stealing'' is exactly what the GNU project hopes to make
widespread -- stealing, copying, making information available for others
to use, modify, and pass on.

Specifically, speaking about the United States, and bitmap fonts: While
it's illegal to copy software (unless it comes with a license permitting
you to do so), it's not illegal to copy bitmaps.  It would be silly for
us to agree that it was somehow ``wrong'' to copy bitmaps, when we hope
that it will become legal to copy (steal, in your word) software!

I don't expect most, or even many, people reading this to share my
views.  And this is not the right newsgroup for a discussion of the FSF
and its goals (use gnu.misc.discuss for that).

You can use dimen registers for floating point arithmetic, then you do
not have any restrictions then on the number of decimal digits of each
number, except of course that you must be within the range of a valid
dimen.

I just received my copy of Scientific Word this week.  I
like what I have found thus far, but it is too early to
give a true evaluation.

Important:  Scientific Word is *NOT* a WYSIWYG front end!
TCI gives a very persuasive argument for why one WOULD NOT
want to use a WYSIWYG.  Scientific Word is a Windows GUI
that includes a structure-oriented (LaTeX) editor, a
Windows version of TeX (called TurboTeX), a previewer, and
a print manager (that usurps the Windows Print Manager).

The argument is that a structure-oriented editor plus a
previewer is superior to a WYSIWYG editor.

 P rinted document gave me no APPENDIX A header.  It produced 
the subtitle at the top of the page and put the table after the
bibliography.

Sorry, haven't heard of this one. I am interested in knowing more. Have
you looked at The Publisher? It uses TeX and LaTeX as back ends and has
a preview facility but is not strictly speaking WYSIWYG. It does have a
very nice equation editor, and has been ranked as the best desktop
publishing program for mathematics in some reviews a couple of years ago.
I don't know where it stands in comparison to others now. You get it from
ArborText.
