I believe LaTeX and SliTeX (for making slides) are public domain.
Where can I get a version of SliTeX (and an upgraded version of
LaTeX) suitable for Sun Workstations (Unix)?

Thanks for help, Jan

Strictly speaking, all it takes is to know somebody who's got MPW and run
the software on his machine - or is this illegal?

Hi,

	Note and Excuse: I am posting this to multiple news groups
since I have some questions that may or may not be specific to
different groups.  Please excuse the cross-posting.  Also, please
respond to me via email since I don't regularly read all the groups.

	
	I am considering purchasing a new printer for my DOS system.
I currently am using a dot-matrix printer and definitely want
something better.  My question is basically which is "better": a laser
printer (i.e., laser-jet) or Ink-jet printer.  When I say "better", I
am looking for information on:

      * Quality of output -- I know laser printers are GREAT, but
	how does the quality of a good Ink-jet printer compare.
	Would I regret it if I went with an ink-jet?

      * Cost (both initial and maintenance) -- From what I have seen,
	ink-jet printers are SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper than laser
	printers.  I also understand that the toner cartridges for
	laser printers are fairly expensive.  Is this true?  How
	often do the toner cartridges need to be replaced?  How
	often do ink-jet printers need ink?  How expensive is that?
	
      * Compatibility -- Most of the software I have seen lately
	supports several types of laser printers (specifically, the
	HP laser-jet series and postscript).  How common is support
	for ink-jet printers?
	
      * Compatibility revisited -- I do alot of work in LaTeX and
	would need to find a dvi2?? program to print my dvi files on
	the ink-jet printer.  Does anybody have any experience with
	such a program?  A possibly related question might be
	whether any ink-jet printers support postscript (with some
	sort of upgrade possibly).

Those are pretty much the questions I have right now.  If anybody has
any suggestions or preferences, I would love to hear them.  Please
respond via email since I don't subscribe to all the newsgroups I am
posting this to.

Thanks in advance.

   I am creating an \input file for myself, to
   define various font sizes -- ninepoint,
   tenpoint, etc.  (Not that this hasn't
   already been done by many people before.)

   I know that typographic artists devote
   quite a lot of time to structuring fonts
   for maximum aesthetic appeal.

   What I would like to know is whether, given
   a font size, there is an "optimal"
   \baselineskip for "single space" and 
   "double space" type.  I can obviously adjust
   the values until I get something which is
   aesthetically pleasing to _me_.  But is there
   some sort of typographical standard?

   Many thanks!

Leading (the amount of white space between lines) depends, to a
signficant extent, on the point size of the type used, the page size,
and the length of the lines. It is also dependent, to a somewhat lesser
extent, on the particular fonts used (in particular, the x-height of
the font in relation to the point size). I admit being a layman in this
area, but I have found some useful references that you may wish to
consult:

Someone suggested increasing \fontdimen3 (interword stretch)
and someone else suggested \raggedright.

My impression from
the  question  was
that  the  test
should   generally
be  flush   right,
except when a very
long  word   would
cause a line to be
cut short ... like
this paragraph!

Ignoring the ques-
tion  of   whether
this is desirable,
here's  my sugges-
tion.

% for every text font:
\fontdimen2 \font=.66667em  % space   !
\fontdimen3 \font=0pt       % stretch ! OR: \spaceskip=.66667em minus .44444em
\fontdimen3 \font=.44444em  % shrink  !

\rightskip=0pt plus 2em
\parfillskip=9\hsize minus9\hsize
\linepenalty 100

These are untested, so the probablt need adjusting...if indded the
whole idea of keeping lines under compression is feasible!

This is the answer - when skipping conditional text. TeX is in "fast" mode,
and does not expand macros - including the \newif macro (naturally - imagine
you had previously defined \def\foobar{\newif} - why should TeX know that
it has to expand \foobar? What if the _definition_ of \foobar was in the
conditional text).

So all your \newif declarations must come _outside_ all \if nesting.

mathtime.sty available from

does the trick. Note that it does require the new font selection

I'm sure it can be done - our company does it.
They use a different printer queue for each type of document, one
for PCL documents & one for Postscript documents. So the user decides
which queue to send it to and the queue driver/manager program adds
the appropriate initialisation string before submitting the document
to the printer. This initialisation string is documented in the
printer manuals, and is quite simple ASCII, such as 'SET LANGUAGE=PCL'
or something like that.

Hope this helps,
Gert.

   I need to know the formula used by TeX to position superscripts and subscripts,
   so that I can make my graphing program produce the same spacing.  Let's assume
   that I have a single text line, and that no superscripts lie over subscripts, so
   that no repositioning will be required to avoid crowding.  Then the questions I
   have are: 

   1) what distances are the baselines moved to (and in what units?  em-space,
      x-height, ...?).  
   2) what change in font size is done?

   Email replies would be appreciated; I doubt whether others on the net need to
   know this.

   PS: Sorry to bug you folks, but I've tried reading the tex.web source, and cannot
   figure it out.

But seriously, you don't say what you are really trying to do,
and there probably are better ways.  Typeset the forumlae using
TeX, then copy and paste them into the drawing program you are using.
You can do this on the NeXT, Macintosh (TeXtures) and in MS Windows 
(using DVIWindo).  That way you get the perfect typsetting of TeX 
and use the same fonts...

Not just a dvips-type program. The latest version of dvips itself (we
have "dvips 5.497 Copyright 1986, 1992 Radical Eye Software") has
some color specials and comes with macros for LaTeX (and FoilTeX).
