Date: 12 Oct 92 13:59:00 GMT
Organization: Univ. of Florida CIS Dept.

I am having partial success in running NFSS LaTeX using either 
npsfonts.sty or psnfss.sty. Here is the problem: The bold and italic
fonts come out in the specified font (for instance: palatino or
helvetica), but the normal text font is still computer modern roman
(original LateX default). Therefore, in my LaTeX document, the titles
and headings (along with \em specifications) all come out in
the desired font. Everything else, though, remains the same. Has
anyone else experienced this problem when running NFSS LaTeX?

Hi all,

I was hoping I could find a kind soul to help me with a small problem
I am having using BIBTEX with LATEX. Here is the problem, after using
BIBTEX to construct my bibleography the resulting reference section
does not page break running the bibliography off the end of the page.
(all other pages are fine) I assume that it is a problem with the 
bibliography style but I could be wrong. What I need is to know 
what I need to check for or a solution to this problem.

Thanks 
Lon

Have you read the documentation that comes with it? In part it reads:

"Print quality:  You will obtain the best output if the font resolution and
the printer resolution are set to the highest resolution of which your
printer is capable (144dpi for ImageWriters, 216dpi for ImageWriter LQ.) If
you set the font resolution higher than the printer resolution, the results
will be slightly inferior. 

"The most important thing to set, before you try to print anything, is the
font folder path.  This should be a full path name, from the name of your
hard disk down to the folder containing the Imagewriter fonts.  Just select
RFont PathsIS from the Configure menu, click on RFont folder pathS,
navigate the Standard File dialog until you are looking at the contents of
the desired folder, and click the RSelect current folderS button. 

"The 'Font name format' popup menu (shown below) also affects the way the
program will search for font files.  If your font files are arranged in
subfolders according to magnification as recommended above, then it is safe
to check the second, third, and fourth formats."

Here is something I used in LaTeX:

--------
% Environment describe (a la description)
% Usage:
% \begin{describe}{long_label}
%  \item[label_1] description_1...
%   .
%   .
%   .
% \end{describe}
%
%                        --EvdM

\newenvironment{describe}[1]{
  \begin{list}{}{%
    \settowidth{\labelwidth}{#1}
    \setlength{\labelsep}{1em}
    \setlength{\rightmargin}{5em}
    \setlength{\leftmargin}{\labelwidth}
    \addtolength{\leftmargin}{\labelsep}
    \addtolength{\leftmargin}{2em}}}{%
  \end{list}}
---------------

The argument in curly braces may contain the largest label you
want to use. It then automatically gives sufficient room for all
labels.
Hope this is what you're looking for.

I use norton's "ne" which is also small and very fast and can edit up to
2 files simultaneously. Of course, this editor has the ability to go to
the line number you specify on the command line, otherwise i would not

Since no one with expertise has replied, I'll post an idea. Warning: I have
not tested these packages, but I've read good things about them.

It appears that PSTricks by tvz@zandtwerk.Princeton.EDU (Timothy Van Zandt)
together with the 'seminar' package might be a very nice combination. It
is a postscript solution, but the ghostscript converter is widely available.

PSTricks was just announced on this group. See that announcement for locations.

> Can anybody point me to a British Dictionary for ispell?

Funny you should ask such a question!

Most dictionaries that are available use the United States
interpretation of the English language.  I am aware of approximately
four such collections.  For the British, those dictionaries represent
a starting point.  Well they did for me a number of months ago.

I took one of those US English dictionaries (not in Ispell format) and
attempted to filter out those non-British spellings.  The SPELL 
program on a Unix system helped somewhat by using the -b switch.  I
then incorporated the US to British spelling conversions that were
posted to the comp.sources.unix newsgroup sometime ago.  The resulting
files (one for each letter of the alphabet) were then converted to the
Ispell format.  The problem was that the resulting dictionary was less
than satisfactory - there were too many common words missing.

I have been standardising that dictionary against a spelling book that
I use as a non-computer reference.  That process is by hand.  Thus it
is long winded and very time consumming.  Fortunately the process is
nearly finished; it should be finished in about two weeks time.

One result of this hand checking process is that a number of the
errors in the dictionary have been corrected.  Another result is that
the size has increased by approximately 10 percent.  Australian and
New Zealand words have been inserted during the process.  Before this
hand processing, the dictionary was apprxoimately 78,500 lines (words)
in length.  My guess is that length is now 85,000 odd lines.  It would
be the order of 1 megabyte in size.

I make no claim to the accuracy of the dictionary.  But if you are
interested, drop me a email and I will see what I can do when the work
is completed.

Dear TeXnicians:

I use the version 0.92 of seminar.sty package by Timothy Van Zandt to
produce manuscripts and slides as well. It's a great package because
almost everything I'd like to have in a seminar package is in there.

I need to include EPS files in slides, but here's a little problem. I
want to specify the dimension of a included picture relative to the
size of the slide; for example, the width of the picture should be the
width of the slide multiplied by 0.8.  

Suppose you use epsf.sty for dvips (although I don't), in ordinary
documents, just:

	\epsfxsize=.8\textwidth

would suffice. You cannot used this strategy in slide* environment
because \textwidth does not reflect the real size of text width, and
it's much shorter (the whole page is magnified later, I guess).

The user's manual of seminar.sty refers to \setslidelength (section 5,
p. 6) which sets a length variable so when printed (i.e., magnified),
it will be the specified size; but I don't know to which length I
should \setslidelength \epsfxsize to.

If you \setslidelength{\epsfxsize}{.8\slidewidth} (in portrait), it is
printed as I expect it in article selection, but not in slides(only);
it is printed in the same size as in article selection.

Are there any workarounds to this?  Any comments are welcome.

        I'm sorry if my message offended you, but the intent was hardly
so.  The major reason that I did not in fact follow the numerous
instructions (already read) on how to get DVIPS, was that I do not in
fact have FTP access.  I'm sorry if that wasn't clear on my somewhat
overly quick 1 line message.

        As it is, would you know of any possibilities of where I could
get my hands on DVIPS without having to use FTP?  I do have a 14.4kbps
modem (HST) with V.42bis, so a long distance transfer (even at 240bps)
would not be out of the question for me.

        It's amazing, but this multi-gigabyte BBS, Canada Remote System
(North America's Largest public BBS) does not in fact have a copy of it
in their IBM-PC section that I can find.  !  I will encourage them to
set up a Typesetting/TeX section, but I doubt much will come from that.

P.S. Information on any way that I might find myself getting TeX MSDOS
