Support is coming soon, but is not yet available in the mainstream.
Plan 9 (the follow-on OS after research's Version 8 Unix) implements
Unicode, using UTF (multibyte encoding scheme) for files.  Microsoft's
NT has support for Unicode, and may be available soon.  And Taligent
(formerly Apple's Pink project) also will support Unicode.

DIS2 of 10646 is currently out for review.  Voting takes place this
June, I believe.  Unicode and 10646 have been merged in this DIS2.
A committee just finished unifying and ordering the Han (ideographic)
character repertoire.  This is part of the 10646 work, and will also
appear as volume 2 of the Unicode book.

Subject: So where's my printing bottleneck?
Date: 9 Apr 92 19:25:49 GMT
Organization: Data General Corporation, Westboro, MA


Hi, folks.

I looking for some ideas about how to speed up printing for
the following configuration:

Hardware:
	- one Mac II
	- one Mac IIcx
	- one LaserWriterIINT
	- all three connected via LocalTalk

Software:
	- System 6.0.5
	- networked via TOPS 2.0 (ancient, I know)
	- main application is PageMaker 4.2
	- also FreeHand 3.0

Printing a PageMaker document seems to take forever.
I've been told (and my own experience verifies) that
PM spends an awful lot of time downloading fonts.  Printing
PM documents in general wastes a lot of time at the 
graphic design studio that uses this equipment.

Some things I'm considering:

	- switch to System 7 to eliminate the need for TOPS
	  (or am I confused about this)

	- buy an Ethernet card for each of the Macs

	- Upgrade the printer to a LaserWriter IIg which
	  is faster and has an Ethernet port and scsi port

	- get a scsi disk to store fonts directly on the printer	

	- or buy a different, faster (cheaper?) printer and a third 
	  Ethernet card for it

So which of these steps is going to make the biggest performance
difference?  Will simply changing the printer so that it
has the fonts resident solve 90% of the problem?

I'd really appreciate any comments about any of the above.

Thanks in advance,

Oh, one other question.  Are there any ftp sites that have lots of

I have released a new version of web2c, the port of the basic TeX
project web programs to Unix.  You can get it by ftp from
	ftp.cs.umb.edu [192.12.26.23]:pub/tex/{web,web2c}.tar.Z

and soon from
        ics.uci.edu [128.195.1.1]:TeX/{web,web2c}.tar.Z.
(among other archives, no doubt)

Send bug reports to me.

Thanks to all the many people who contributed to this release; I tried
to record the names in the ChangeLog.  Special thanks to Bernd Raichle,
who did most of the work to make the format/base file sharing work.
(But if it still doesn't work, it's my fault, not his!)

This updates web2c to the latest master WEB sources, as released by
Professor Knuth in March 1992.  Aside from the usual bug fixes and
(mis)improvements in the installation, I made the following changes.

* big TeX, big Metafont, and big BibTeX are the defaults.  I increased
  some of the constants slightly.  The trie patch is installed in the
  main sources.

* the path searching code has been completely rewritten and (in some
  ways) simplified.  The *_SUBDIR variables are gone; instead, you just
  put two trailing slashes in a path component to get subdirectory
  searching, as in TEXFONTS=/usr/local/lib/tex/fonts//.  Also,
  subdirectory searching is recursive.  All the search paths
  are treated the same way.

  ~ and ~user are expanded as usual in pathnames and filenames.  Except
  that, of course, in plain TeX `~' is an active character which expands
  into various TeX primitives before the filename code ever sees it; so
  `~/foo' still won't work when it wants another filename.  I don't see
  any good solution to this.  You could add a local macro \HOME which
  is a catcode 12 ~ to your plain.tex; then users could say
  `\HOME/foo'.  But this can't be done by default, since it's not 100%
  backward-compatible.

  I haven't implemented %-substitutions in paths yet.  Next time.

  I've modified dvips and xdvi to use this same code; they are in
  xdvi-k.tar.Z and dvips-k.diff.Z.

* patgen2, an update for the 8-bit features in TeX written by P.
  Breitenlohner, is included.

* format files are (finally) byte-order-independent, which is necessary
  (but not sufficient) for sharing them across architectures.  If the
  format creates any glue_ratio words in TeX's memory, the .fmt file
  will not be sharable, since it will have floating-point; but the
  common formats don't do this, so they *are* sharable.

* `foo.tex' is tried before `foo'.

Actually, Don does pay out some small power of two cents (I think $2.56)
for first reports of errors in the TeXbook, METAFONTbook, and `Computers
and Typesetting'. That is for typographic and factual errors: you won't
get anything for `this book is organised in entirely the wrong way'! 
Anyway, you wouldn't have been the first person to say it. I preserve

If you are using Metafont on the Macintosh (from Blue Sky Research), the
Macintosh format is produced automatically.

If you are importing .PK or .GF files from Metafont on other systems,
we will supply tools on request to Textures owners to convert fonts to
the Macintosh format.  There is no charge for these tools, but they
do require the Apple MPW environment.

Let me add one more since Daniel was kind enough to work on getting the new
(March 14, 1992) version to me and we have a few flavors of distribution
available.  The files are available for anonymous ftp retrieval from
Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) in the directory [.MUSICTEX] (sorry, no
FILESERV on this as it's a rather large package; if you don't have ftp and
need this package, please contact me and we can see what might be able to
be worked out, depending on your network, OS, etc.).  

We have musictex.zip, musictex.tar.Z (MUSICTEX.TAR_Z), and compressed VMS
backup saveset (MUSICTEX.BCK_Z) files available.  The musictex.zip file
does not include the fonts, which are included in musicpk.zip in the same
directory.

appreciate some detail as to what modifications are necessary
in the site-specific files for each distribution (TeX, TeXPS, 
and xdvi).  Also, how do you know what .pk files will be needed?
Should I install everything that comes with cmfonts, utilityfonts,
amsfonts, and LaTeXfonts?

What is the best way to ensure that xdvi gets the write-white
fonts, but divtps gets the write-black fonts?  The files have
the same names (e.g. cmr10.300pk).  I don't even understand
who uses all the .pfd, .gf, .tfm, .pk, .vf, .afm, and .yds files.
Is there a master plan?

BTW: I have things mostly working at my site.  But there are
some differences between the xdvi display and the actual hardcopy.
There must be a better scheme.  What do I need to do?

thanx,
randall.
