?: METAFONT, teTeX, OS X

  I recently installed teTeX on my TiBook, and both
latex->.dvi->.ps and pdflatex seem to be working (Thanks!).
I access them directly from Xfree86/WindowMaker rather than
>from a front-end.

I'm a METAFONT beginner, trying to design a completely new
exotic font.  When I launch 'mf' on my files, in proof mode, I get as
far as seeing proofs, but I also get the message:

<<<<
Window support for X was not compiled into this binary.  There
may be a binary called 'mfw' on your system which does contain
X Window support.
 >>>>>

Well, teTeX does has a 'mfw', but when I run it, I get the same
message.  The message also tells me that I might need to
recompile METAFONT, specifying  --with-x as an option
to the configure script.

Do I need to recompile METAFONT, first doing
configure --with-x

????

If so, where are the METAFONT sources?

Thanks,

Ken

what's your favorite key remapper for os x (on a tibook)?  i just want 
to change that horrible caps lock key into another control key, really, 
not necessarily remap the whole keyboard.

arun mentioned that version tracker (www.versiontracker.com) has more 
than one, but i spent 2+ hours searching for a popular one a couple of 
nights ago without finding anything.  *d'oh!*

windows people have the wonderful but backwards-named cntl2cap 
(www.sysinternals.com), and x11 people have xmodmap.

hoping that y'all can help,

In the full version of Acrobat under OS X, there is an "Acrobat" option in
the popup menu entitled:

Shrink Oversized Pages to Paper Size

which you can turn off to get the proper size. Unfortunately, the Reader
version does not appear to have such an option.

Message-ID: <6276c662d3c6.62d3c66276c6@jhsph.edu>




I'm using Prosper with TeXShop and teTeX to make PDF presentations, 
which I view in full-screen mode in Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 (using 
OS 10.1 on an iBook G3/500). My problem is that the screen flashes a 
solid white background when moving from slide to slide, instead of 
smoothly going to the next slide as it should. I had the same problem 
with Reader 5.0.0. If I use Acrobat Reader 4 in Classic, there's no 
white flash---the transitions are correct, but some of the fonts don't 
display correctly, so it's not really a solution. This happens with the 
demo pdfs included with Prosper, as well as with the ones I create 
myself. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Wes

Boot under OS 9 and rebuild the desktops of ALL volumes by holding down
option+command during start up.  Or use a utility like TechTool Pro.

What's so hard about booting OS 9?  It's not really a file path problem.
There is a bug in the OS X Finder that can result in incorrect data in
the desktop database file(s), and so OzTeX's search fails.

I'll probably have to do something like this in the next release.
I had been hoping that Apple would fix the bug.  Plus there are
more and more apps that use nulls or ???? for their signature,
so eventually I might have to abandon the idea of using signatures
to locate apps, or at least provide an alternative method.

But can this really be a bug in the quartz rendering. After all it is 
being rendered correctly on screen. It is being sent to the printer 
wrong, surely?

You need not drop pstricks at all, you can still use your pstricks
code in pdfLaTeX documents with the help of pdftricks.sty which is
available at CTAN. Please have a look.

   So the question is:
   What do you have to say about labeling figures using pdftex. Is
   warmreader+xypic a good choice and worth the effort of learning? Are
   there other approches?

I can say that WARMreader is worth learning/using and is very
flexible.

Hi

Sorry, but I am still a newbie: I use the report class with

\usepackage{natbib}
\bibliographystyle{plainnat}

so I can use \citet{} and \citep{}

actually it works. BUT: I get in the text:

blablabla [Kawasaki, 1997]. As Hunziker [1994] could demonstrate....

the parenthesis are just wrong. I  need the authors encapsulated in () 
paranthesis.
So what can I do?

Thanks a lot for your help

A weird place for ghostscript, which by default lives in /usr/local. I 
am sorry, but the only tip I can give you is to install gs7 with 
i-Installer.

http://www.rna.nl/ii.html

Download i-Installer.dmg and install i-Installer from that volume. Then, 
start /Applications/Utilities/i-Installer and open URL 
http://www.ntg.nl/macosx-tex/i-packages/gs7.ii and install that 
i-Package. That gives you a gs7 in a default location which is part of a 
normal path. It is a gs without X11 support, but it will do your ps2pdf 
just fine.

Thanks, Adrian.

I see that pdfpages allows me to include pdf pages from other files. So, 
you're suggesting I could first compile my .tex file and generate a 
single output pdf file, then run a series of commands like

\includepdf[firstpage=a,lastpage=c]{file.pdf}

to generate pdf files containing only the selected pages.

Is there a better way?

Another problem: I am able to run \includepdf without options. But when 
I include the first/last page options, I get the following error message:

! Package keyval Error: firstpage undefined.

Where am I going wrong?

Hi,

A clear case of rtfm. Do you have a file natbib.cfg? If so, either remove it, 
of load the package as indicated below. round should be default, but for some 
reason it isn't. In that case: force it. 

\usepackage[round]{natbib}

No need to use the harvard styles (which have many side effects) and you 
retain the option to (easily) switch to a different style. There are more 
options (what to do with multiple citations at once, etc.).

Take care,

Maarten

Actually that's not what I meant: I'm quite happy with fonts in .pfb 
format, which TeXShop can use. I see only two reasons for converting 
them to Mac format:

- Use with TeX in Mac OS 9, but in my case I launch Classic only when I 
absolutely have to and with greatest reluctance.

- Use with other Mac applications (e.g. Illustrator), for inserting math 
in figures. I think (if I understood well) Ross Moore mentioned in an 
earlier posting a LaTeX package, which can do in .pdf format everything 
psfrag can do in .ps format, so provided that is true .pfb fonts would 
again be appropriate.

That being said, the distribution esstix.zip contains all 17 esstix 
fonts in .pfb format and also in Windows TrueType .ttf format, together 
with a folder resource.frk which I suppose contains corresponding 
resource forks; so maybe creating Mac TrueType fonts (apart from 
copyright issues) would be accessible to a font expert.

Another issue is to create .tfm files. esstix.zip containing .afm files, 
isn't it possible to convert them to .tfm format using afm2tfm (in 
/Library/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin5.3/afm2tfm) or fontinst? But 
then, of course, one would need to write LaTeX font driver .fd files and 
create control sequences to access each character in the 17 fonts (like, 
for example, phonetic alphabets) individually.

But, after all, maybe that's what Elsevier is planning to do anyway? My 
original posting was more a request for information, in case anybody had 
heard of plans from Elsevier or a LaTeX guru.

Well, blow me down for thinking that  ESSTIX was an acronym for
Elsevier Science STIX .

This email message describes the relationship pretty well, I think:

  http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-amaya-dev/2000Sep/0016.html

or at least, as it was in September 2000.


BTW, it also gives the URL to download this great set of fonts:

  ftp://ftp.elsevier.nl/pub/styles/esstix/esstix.zip


If the situation has changed in the past 18 months, can you please
provide more up-to-date information.



Perhaps other publishers will create their own sets of fonts,
using the STIX encodings and new Unicode code-points.
Maybe not, and everyone will end up using ESSTIX, because Elsevier
have provided them cost-free --- thank you very much indeed.

My point was only that it is not fair to overlook the efforts of others,
as well as Elsevier, in helping to bring about this fortunate situation.


All the best,

Try  \usepackage[authoryear]{natbib} .

That should suppress the numbers, since (from natbib.sty) :

\DeclareOption{authoryear}{\NAT at numbersfalse
   \ExecuteOptions{round,colon,bibstyle}}

so that you get the 'round' and 'colon' options automatically.
(You can override these by adding extra options.)
The 'bibstyle'  option simply means that the \bibstyle  and  \citestyle macros
do the same thing, rather than having different meanings.

Hi

I am having trouble getting warmreader 1.2 to work with illustrator 
10.0.1 and mac osx.

The problem I am having is that the .bb file produced looks like this:
(snip)
%%StartMarkedPoints
%%MarkedPoint:(4,94): point(0,0) : 1 %Default Text
%%MarkedPoint:(63,31): point(0,0) : 2 %Default Text
%%MarkedPoint:(-2,-25): point(0,0) : 3 %Default Text
%%EndMarkedPoints

However it only works if I add a space after the word 'MarkedPoint: ' 
(there is a space in the lines below but it is hard to see).

%%StartMarkedPoints
%%MarkedPoint: (4,94) : point(0,0) : 1 %Default Text
%%MarkedPoint: (63,31) : point(0,0) : 2 %Default Text
%%MarkedPoint: (-2,-25) : point(0,0) : 3 %Default Text
%%EndMarkedPoints

Any help would be much appreciated

Julius

I put the following as the first line in my .tex files

\input special_keys

I learned this trick a few years ago  on an Alpha mailing list. 
The file was somewhere on an A;pha site, I do not remember where, 
so I copy it here.
 
I keep it in ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/misc/myinputs
for tetex, and I have a copy in the Oztek folder. 

Thanks to all for the very useful and informative list!

Subject: [OS X TeX] vfinst config?
Message-ID: <675BABA6-4F10-11D6-97AE-0050E4258255@mac.com>




I decided to see if I could figure out how to use vfinst.  According to 
the instructions, one needs to configure the vfinst.par file for one's 
installation.  The relevant section is:

## If you are running a `traditional' TeX system, you'll need to
## supply the following information...

          $vfmapdir   = 
"/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/dvips/config/psfonts.map"
          $myroot = "e:/texmf/tdsoff"; # some shorthand...
          $vfinputs   = "$myroot/inputs"; # Where do fd files belong?
          $vfvf       = "$myroot/vf";  # where do vf's go?
          $vftfm      = "$myroot/tfm"; # and tfm's?
          $vfpsfonts  = "$myroot/psfonts"; # where are all the outline 
fonts?
          $vfafm      = "$myroot/afm"; # ...and the matching afm's?

My question is how to configure this.  I figured out the psfonts.map 
bit, and I assume I'd want to specify the texmf tree for most of the 
other settings.  Anything more I should know?  And what about "myroot"?

Finally, what about?

          $vfenc      = "OT1";  # or maybe "ot1" or "T1" or "t1"

Thanks,
Bruce

My copy of Mathematica is away at home on my Cube, but if it does dots
in graphs like MatLab does (or has done on the jobs we've had), they're
literally dots---a line as a single point with beginning / endpoints the
same, and a strokewidth which defines the size of the dot.

We've found such troublesome as well, so've usually wound up selecting
all such (in Illustrator or FreeHand) and expanding the stroke to the
proper width so that the dots become closed paths.

The esstix fonts from Elsevier look great, in particular they have all 
these devious integral signs like principal value which would make my 
life easier (not having to recreate it from $\int$ and $-$ every time I 
write a paper and change fonts).

Is anybody aware of a plain TeX macro file or LaTeX package for using 
them ? Though these fonts live in the LaTeX area of Elsevier's public 
ftp server, I could see nothing LaTeX about them.

I can't accept the idea of rebooting my computer into an OS that I 
don't use in order to implement a work around to a problem that could 
be solved in so many other ways (even though I agree with you that 
the root problem is apple's fault,not yours).

I really would like to experiment with OzTeX under X, but until that 
bug is fixed I guess I won't. Sorry for the strong response, but this 
sort of pushes my buttons....OSX and programs that run under X need 
to be self-contained and complete, even if some of the difficulties 
are due to Apple's mistakes.

BTW, I bought the OzTeX 4.0 CD. What do I owe in the way of 
registration fees to become a legal, registered user of the X version?

But via Print Center no fonts will be included and the PDF is

This sounds like a lack of style/face entries in the  .fd  file
for the font and encoding that you have selected.

Alternatively, a .sty file may have said what face to use for the
main font (\rm, \it, \sl  variants) but not the \tt and \sc (and \sf ?)
variants.

Typically an  .fd  file finishes with lots of font substitution
lines, such as the following (from  ot1pbk.fd  for Adobe Bookman) :

\DeclareFontShape{OT1}{pbk}{b}{sl}{<->ssub * pbk/db/sl}{}
\DeclareFontShape{OT1}{pbk}{bx}{sl}{<->ssub * pbk/b/sl}{}
\DeclareFontShape{OT1}{pbk}{b}{it}{<->ssub * pbk/db/it}{}
\DeclareFontShape{OT1}{pbk}{bx}{it}{<->ssub * pbk/b/it}{}
\DeclareFontShape{OT1}{pbk}{m}{n}{<->ssub * pbk/l/n}{}

For example, the 4th line says that the  ultrabold-italic 
style should use the same font as the  bold-italic  style.
But the 3rd line says that for  bold-italic use  demibold-italic.
Earlier in the file there is a specification for what this is:

\DeclareFontShape{OT1}{pbk}{db}{it}{
   <-> pbkdi7t
}{}

so that the  pbkdi7t.tfm  will be used for the metrics,
and  pbkdi7t.vf  will be examined to determine which actual fonts
are required, as well as the sizes and specific glyphs that are needed
to generate subsetted fonts for inclusion in the PDF or PS document.


Hope this helps,

Subject: [OS X TeX] TeX Programs i-Package has been updated
Message-ID: <65B9ECD6-4C7D-11D6-B91C-0003930AD8A4@rna.nl>



There has been an update of the TeX Programs i-Package. This update 
contains the binaries from TeX Live development sources as of 09:00 on 
Apr 10. It also contains a fix for a problem that was first reported on 
this list, which prevented metafun from working properly. The problem 
was with teTeX's fmtutil in combination with metafun specifics.

A pure administrative completely unnecessary update of the GhostScript 6 
i-Package has also happened, but this is just because I had an error in 
my build setup :-)

TeX-thin.dmg has also been updated.

TeX-fat.dmg has not been updated and contains the old version. This is 
because the changes are minor. The installer on TeX-fat.dmg will detect 
the upgrade, of course. TeX.dmg containing TeXGSInstaller.app has not 
been upgraded. Use the i-Installer to upgrade if you installed with 
TeXGSInstaller.app.

If you do not need metafun, there is no need for an upgrade. However, 
since these binaries are also meant to end up in the official TeX Live 
distribution, I would prefer that at least a few users upgrade to test 
the new binaries and programs, as the TeX Live deadline is coming near.

To install, use your existing dedicated TeX i-Installer from TeX-
thin.dmg or TeX-fat.dmg. Then select the TeX Programs i-Package and 
install.

New users: go to http://www.rna.nl/tex.html for information.

Hi Andrew.

How about adding the following, as well:

LaTeX2HTML :  http://www.latex2html.org
(manual at:  http://www-texdev.mpce.mq.edu.au/l2h/docs/manual/)

 to the TeX-related software section.

Also, VTeX has a version for the Mac.
(This doesn't mean that I recommend it, but it does work
 -- at least under OS 9.)


Cheers

	Ross

Hi listers,

A while back the crappy display of line-art by Acrobat was mentioned on 
this list. Someone mentioned that Quartz does this much better. I 
figured it should be a one-liner to create a viewer that is good enough 
to give presentations through quartz. If you take into account that I am 
a Ph.d. student in physics (and therefore count as 1, 2, many...), it 
was indeed a one-liner...;-)

You can find this _limited_ program on
	http://www.nat.vu.nl/~sneep/newsletter_answer.php?id=28

(See the link near the top of the page).

Limitations:
- Only uses the main screen for display.
- Once in full screen mode, you can't go back to window-mode, your 
option is to quit the program. The program will not crash, but getting 
back to windowing mode without crashing ws not possible for me. Anyone?
- fancy page transitions are not supported. This may be a blessing ;-)
- Read the help-file for all options. The help is displayed at the first 
start-up and can be reached from the help menu. Please familiarize 
yourself with the program before using is in front of a group...

In the package you'll find some other tools as well: a colorselector and 
a ris2bib. Information is included in the dmg and on the page.

Please report typo's, bugs and solutions to me: sneep at nat.vu.nl

Take care,

Maarten Sneep

Anywhere after loading the package, and before \begin{document} .

Yes; but (ahem!) it is  \cite{....}  .

Certainly not *in* these files.  They work fine as they are.

If you don't like the results, then there are other options and commands
to customise to your taste. It should *never* be necessary to alter any of
the coding in the .bst and .sty files.

You learn more quickly by doing than reading; but having the manual nearby
is often very helpful.

You're welcome; but...

Edit

/Library/teTeX/share/texmf.local/dvips/config.ps
/Library/teTeX/share/texmf.local/pdftex/pdftex.cfg

both files should have examples in them.

You do not need Terminal, but you need to make sure the files have unix

I use uControl, which can be downloaded at

It has two minor problems: it sometimes takes a few key strokes to get
going in the morning, and some programs get confused if the caps lock
key is left in the one position, even though its no longer supposed to
be functioning as a caps lock key.

This doesn't address you question directly, but I happened to try OzTtH 
for the first time the other day (part of OzTeX pkg) ... drag-n-drop'd 
my LaTeX file on top of it and, poof, out came an HTML file.  You can 
see the results at

   <http://ms.yuba.cc.ca.us/~jb2/numerical.html>

Ignore the mathematics (please!), but look at the typesetting.  The 
LaTeX source is at

   <http://ms.yuba.cc.ca.us/~jb2/numerical.tex>

I'll delete the files in a few days.  HTH.

Hi.

I have seen "WarmReader" mentioned a couple of times on this list. I am 
sorry for the ignorant question: what is it and where can I find out more 
about it?

Hi,

There's another problem too, with that file that Bruno sent.
It came encoded as UTF8, with many 2-octet combinations starting with
the A-tilde character.

So if you use it on a non-UTF8-aware system, these will be read as
two 8-bit characters, instead of as a single character.
This will surely kill many of those \def commands.
I'd be extremely surprised if it compiles at all in TeX, on systems
other than a Mac with OS X.


There's a lesson in there somewhere; but I'm not sure exactly 
what it is.  :-)


Cheers,

	Ross

A part of the reason for this, I have located (by method of lucky 
guess), and a workaround.

The reason seems to be that fmtutil creates either mptopdf.efmt or 
metafun.mem (probably) in such a way that mpost crashes. I do not know 
why (yet).

A workaround is to do the following in an empty directory:

	mkdir youremptydir
	cd youremptydir
	sudo texexec --make
	sudo mv *.efmt *.mem /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c

This gets the formats as created by texexec in your format directory. 
After that, it works here.

Subject: [OS X TeX] gs7 i-package upgraded from gs 7.00 to gs 7.04
Message-ID: <024D9BBB-4868-11D6-938A-0003930AD8A4@rna.nl>



The first real world i-Installer update test:

For people who have installed the gs7 i-Package: I have upgraded the 
contents of that i-Package from gs7.00 to gs7.04. To upgrade: open the 
dedicated i-installer for TeX (or a normal i-Installer as root), in 
Recent documents, find gs7 (this opens the version in your local cache), 
click check for update. If you install gs7 for the first time, open URL 
http://www.ntg.nl/macosx-tex/i-packages/gs7.ii with i-Installer.app 
running as root or from a dedicated authenticating i-installer (like the 
one for TeX).

As I do not run gs7 myself (but gs6.01) these binaries and this 
distribution is untested, nor has the update procedure been tested in 
this particular case. I'd like you to test them for me ;-) This is 
experimental, but in case of problems it is easy for me to revert to 
gs7.00 for the gs7 i-Package.

The install procedure will leave the gs7.00/gs6.01 libraries on your 
system, while it overwrites existing gs programs and man pages. This 
will be fixed in a later i-package release by the addition of a 
post_install script which will remove unused files.

This is caused by Apple's backwards-compatibility with Mac bitmap screen 
fonts. If the fonts aren't all in one suitcase, putting them there will 
trim the entries somewhat.

NeXTstep does properly categorize the fonts by way of the font family name 
provided within the font, and make them available as styles of ``Computer 
Modern'', but unfortunately, since nifty .font bundle support was lost, 
the .pkg of said fonts at ftp.peak.org/pub/next doesn't work in Mac OS X.

There's an extension for Mac OS <9 which'll hide away the fonts, but then 
one can't readily make use of them.

I suspect the ``Super Computer Modern'' font set would work better as does 
the spiffy QuickDraw/GX enable TrueType version which is a part of TeX/GX 
available from www.sil.org, but haven't had a chance to investigate these.
  One can use the ``Favorites'' collection feature of the font panel to 
whittle this sort of thing down to a manageable set though.

Subject: [OS X TeX] Large Symbols Partially Printed from PDF from LaTeX
Message-ID: <20020426051839.20991.qmail@math.uic.edu>



Thinking about the problem some more, I decided to perform some more
controlled experiments:  using my dept. office Sun workstation, I
tried the same source using (1) pdflatex, (2) latex+dvips+ps2pdf, and
(3) latex+dvips+adobedistiller.  The first 2 generated PDF files
that produced defective large symbols when printed, loosing the 
bottoms of the characters in MAC OS X, as previously reported, but
also in WinNT4.  Case (3) using the Adobe Distiller that I have
available in WinNT4, produced good printouts of the large symbols
that the other cases produced bad output.

The result seems to indcate the the problem is Ghostscript used
in pdflatex and ps2pdf in both cases on Sun Unix and MAC OS X.
The problem is very likely NOT Apple or MAC OS X, as indicated
on the TeXShop homepage for this problem.  Good thing, since
you really cannot wait for any computer company to fix its bugs,
if sufficiently large.

Hope This Helps,
Floyd Hanson

Hi listers,

About two weeks ago I announced the following:

I updated the program and fixed a few annoying limitations: you can now 
jump back and forth between full-screen and windowing mode. The 
help-file was updated, but if you've used the program before, you'll 
have to open the help manually (from the help menu, if that wasn't 
obvious...).

You can find this program on
	http://www.nat.vu.nl/~sneep/newsletter_answer.php?id=28

A direct link to the archive:
     http://www.nat.vu.nl/~sneep/support/LaTeX-tools-2.dmg

Limitations:
- Only uses the main screen for display.
- fancy page transitions are not supported. This may be a blessing ;-)
- Multimedia (quicktime movies, OpenGL, ...) not supported. This would 
require someone to roll their own pdf interpreter. I'm not the one for 
that job.
- Read the help-file for all options. The help is displayed at the first 
start-up and can be reached from the help menu. Please familiarize 
yourself with the program before using is in front of a group...

In the package you'll find some other tools as well: a colorselector and 
a ris2bib. Information is included in the dmg and on the page.

Please report typo's, bugs and solutions to me: sneep at nat.vu.nl

Take care,

Maarten Sneep

No. And, from the terminal window, it doesn't work any better. 
Actually, Emacs.app is a directory. Is that normal?

I was indeed using GS 7. I removed it using i-install. However, when I try
to install GS 6, for a bunch of files I am getting the following error:

/Applications/Utilities/i-Installer.app/Contents/Resources/gnutar:
share/ghostscript/fonts/s050000l.pfb: Could not create file: Permission

The result output is the same.

Thanks for your help.

I think I missed that discussion, but if by "crappy" you mean "non-smooth", 
then make sure line-art smoothing is turned on in the preferences. (It isn't 
by default.)

Yes. As I ship a TeX without support for X11, you need to compile your 
own if you want to use X11.

The  reason for not supporting X11 lies in the fact that I need to be 
sure everything works on default Mac OS X systems without X11. It is 
impossible for me to check everything against some X11-dependency having 
been created. Therefore: to prevent this from happening, I need to keep 
my systems X11-free. I follow Apple default.

Having said that, As far as I know, you do not need X11 support on Mac 
OS X to have a look at your font. Use

	pdftex testfont

to produce pdf output. But then again, I have not a lot of experience 
with METAFONT, so I might not know what you are trying to do.

I haven't paid much attention to this thread, but I don't think you 
should follow this advice. In case you have installed one of my 
distributions, the PATH is already set that way in the global tcsh init 
files.

In Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 (I'm not sure about earlier versions), in the 
"Acrobat Reader" pop-up menu of the Print dialog, there's an option 
"Adjust big pages" (or something like this, it's "Ajuster les grandes 
pages" in French) which is checked by default.

Unchecking it cures the problem, I think. To some extent: Acrobat Reader 
seems to have its own notion of what page margins should be; anything 
falling within these margins is cropped, i.e. not printed at all.

Alternatively, printing from Preview or TeXShop does not create such 
problems, on my setup (OS X 10.1.3). Assuming the PDF file is one that 
can be displayed properly by Preview or TeXShop, and there are some 
which can't.

Message-ID: <F0D487F4-4790-11D6-B377-000A27899BFE@mac.com>

we have a finished paper [pdf] with lots of equations and some graphs.

graphs: we have a X - Y graph with a couple curved lines on it and on 
each line there are 2 points (dots) -no big deal, very simple looking.

on the screen we see the dots, in print we see the dots -BUT when we 
email it to a collaborator who uses a PC and he prints it, the dots are 
missing.

further, we have noticed a difference between Acrobat Reader 4.0 and 
Acrobat Reader 5.0 in whether we see the dots on the *screen*:
in 4 we don't, in 5 we do; but both give dots when printed.

that's fine for us, but why can't the other guy get the dots printed?
(i'm not at work and forgot whether he sees them on screen -he's not 
there but the email is!

i'll get this info straight Friday, but i believe the process is 
something like (Mac OS9): OzteX5/MacGS PPC/Acrobat Reader.

thanks in advance.

 Sorry, you can't use the zcat style solution here, since that
depends on support from dvips.  What you can do is to enable \write18
in your texmf.cnf and then do something like

\immediate\write18{perl table2tex.pl foo.dat > foodat.tex}
\input{foodat.tex}

 But, really, I would suggest you use a makefile instead to call the
converter before starting the TeX run.  A simple one could look like
this:

paper.dvi: paper.tex chapter1.tex foodat.tex
           latex $<
           latex $<
           latex $<
           makeindex $<
           latex $<

foodat.tex: foo.dat

Hi everybody,

I use TeXShop in TeX + Ghostscript because I use the XY-pic package, but
I also want to include figures in jpeg or pdf format, and it doesn't
work ; if I use PdfTex it works without any problem. Is somebody can
help me ?

Get the  pdftex  drivers for Xy-pic from:

That should help significantly.

Sorry, been a bit busy at work.

Ted asked:
 >how do I repair the dots in Illustrator, if you don't mind the lesson?

I'd feel better if I could experiment with a copy of the file (could you 
mail me one?), but...

Basically, one selects the points and then uses the Object | Path | Offset 
Path command, but this isn't working for a quick check in Adobe 
Illustrator 9 (if memory serves, when I was fixing the MatLab files, it 
was with AI6---the newer program seems to check for the size of the path 
and doesn't trouble to process them if they're too short). It does work in 
FreeHand 8, (Modify | Alter Path | Expand Stroke).

I might've had to select one point from each path and move it 
infinitesimally---don't think so though, I'm sure I'd've remembered doing 
that (there were a _lot_ of points in the MatLab graph)

HTH!

Subject: [OS X TeX] OzTeX 5.0 is now available
Message-ID: <f04310100b8e5cd7834e4@[202.45.99.122]>



OzTeX 5.0 is available for download (10.1MB) from the main CTAN sites:

ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/systems/mac/oztex/oztex5.sit
ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/systems/mac/oztex/oztex5.sit
ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/mac/oztex/oztex5.sit

After unpacking the .sit file please read the supplied Read-Me file.

Here are the changes to the 5.0a release:

* Fixed an obscure bug that could stop a TeX/DVI/PS file being remembered.

* Fixed a bug handling "|" in config file comment lines (%...) and message
  lines (@...).  Also, lines containing only spaces/tabs are now ignored
  (they used to generate a rather confusing error message).

* OzTeX now saves the drop_tex/dvi/ps lists before a drop.config/foo.config
  file is loaded and restores the lists after the dropped file is processed.
  Because any drop_tex/dvi/ps settings in these config files are temporary,
  there is no possibility of an unexpected task list being activated when
  a different file is dropped.

* Added :TeX:Docs:LaTeX:drop.config which shows how to convert dropped
  EPS files to PDF and then preview them (requires OS X and Ghostscript).

* The ":TeX:Configs:Use texmf tree" file has been improved.  In particular,
  $c has been added at the START of OzTeX's ps_folders list so that dvips
  will use OzTeX-specific files like :TeX:DVIPS:Inputs:special.pro.

* Modified :TeX:DVIPS:Inputs:config.ps so that the a4 paper size lines come
  before A4size.  The advantage for people who use A4 paper is that an "a4"
  command is included in the dvips output; this forces Unix commands based
  on Ghostscript (like ps2pdf) to use the correct paper size.  There is
  no longer any need to add a "-t a4" option to dvips.

* I decided to remove XRay, Excalibur and Odd Jobs from the Extras folder
  to reduce the size of the .sit file (they are on the new OzTeX CD, but
  not in Extras).

* The "Related Software" item in OzTeX's Help menu contains a large list of
  links to TeX-related software and resources.

* Minor changes to the OzTeX User Guide and various other docs.

Andrew

PS. The OzTeX CD master has been sent to the distributors and should be
ready for delivery next week.  More about the CD later.

If nobody else volunteers, I could do it (Fink made me install X11 before
the original Freetype package was installed).  I'd need specific
instructions though (like, type this, then that, etc.), so I may be more
hindrance than help :-)

I've been trying to iron out the kinks with running ttf2tex on my system
with the author, but am not quite there yet.  I downloaded the freetype
source and compiled it, but now the script can't find ttf2tfm.  If anyone
has any experience with this please let me know.

That said, once I do get it worked out, this thing will be very useful.  It
will allow extremely easy installation of truetype fonts (though for a
certain Apple font I want to use, I converted it first to PC format), and
could be the basis for then putting together an additional i-Package that
would address Type 1 fonts (which seems more difficult to me, because of the
encoding stuff).

and similarly for hundreds of lines.

When I open a .dvi, I get

Looking for <Kaveh:Library:teTeX:share:texmf:fonts:pk:.... .270pk>
...
=========

again for hundreds of lines. It is quite slow, as it if is doing something,
not just looking. Looks like it is repeating some of the fonts, as this
takes a huge amount of time. It's been going for half an hour now so I'll
kill it.

Help please?

Hi Gary,

I'm very intrested in this part of the info you sent Wendy for the
NSDL grant proposal that she is preparing:

> [3] We are actively involved in the organization of the 2002 meeting of the
> Society of Engineering Science which will take place this coming fall at
> Penn State.  One of the organizational tasks we have taken on has been the
> creation of a template for the submission of Abstracts via the WEB for the
> compilation of the final book of abstracts. The input submitted by the
> authors consists of text which is then automatically typeset using LaTeX.
> 

Wendy already mentioned that I'm needing to do the same kind of thing
for a large congress in 2003. Indeed, that's why I was in Philadelphia
for a few days last January; to look at SIAM's system for collecting
abstracts and minisymposium proposals.

Is your system working well ?
Can I access it across the web to have a look?
Does it integrate with other software that allows the abstracts to
be reviewed for relevance and appropriate content?
How easy is it to setup?
What database do you use, or Perl/PHP/Python/cgi ?



By the way, are you aware of the ICIAM 2003 congress in Sydney?
See the website, at www.iciam.org .
The invited speakers are all very impressive, covering a wide range of topics
in Industrial and Applied Mathematics.
There's also an embedded submeeting for an Australian Society
of Engineering Mathematicians.

Given the nature of our proposed work for the NSDL project,
and other TeX/LaTeX related efforts, and its applicability for mathematics
and mathematicians worldwide, then it would be quite appropriate
to have a minisymposium or two at ICIAM 2003 devoted to such topics.
What do you think ?


All the best,

	Ross

Subject: [OS X TeX] OmniOutliner and pdfScreen
Message-ID: <1A10ADFA-5C55-11D6-B04D-0003935985B0@mac.com>

A great big thanks to John Johnson for putting together the apple script 
that converted an OmniOutliner document to TeX. I have modified his code 
to create slides (using the pdfscreen format) from an outline.

The script has the following features and constraints:
-The top level bullet is treated as a new slide
-All lower bullets are treated as part of itemized lists with 
indentation preserved (a new \begin{itemize} for each indent)
-Notes in the TOP LEVEL (slide level) only are added as body text on the 
slide
-The script will not add multiple levels at the same time (but will 
close multiple)

for example:

A
	A.a
		A.a.a
		A.a.b

works fine, but

A
		A.a.a

does not work (you're code will have more \end{} than \begin{})

A commented version of the script can be found here:

Thanks Gerben and Piet,

I have found a fix:

On the laptop (which works) there are some lines

@ unknown 0in 0in
@+ statusdict /setpageparams known { hsize vsize 0 1 statusdict begin {
@+ setpageparams } stopped end } { true } ifelse { statusdict /setpage known
@+ { hsize vsize 1 statusdict begin { setpage } stopped pop end } if } if

at the bottom of

/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/dvips/config/config.ps

but which are not there in the desktop (which doesn't work).

The teTeX version on the desktop is  200203271131
fromm /usr/local/teTeX/TeXGSInstaller.version

The teTeX version on the laptop is   200203271131
which is the same !!

I don't know how the config.ps ends up different.  When I copy those
lines across to the desktop config.ps the problem goes away.

I just checked my wifes machine which exhibited the same problem. She
doesn't have those lines and she has tetex version  200203151318
which was the version my desktop has when I first discovered the problem.

Thanks again.

Regards - Michael

Not necessarily. teTeX's texmf.cnf has seperate searchpaths for latex2.09.

um, okay, how do i _un_install a package like ucontrol (so that i can 
try the info.plist solution)?  i looked around in the 
/Library/Receipts/uControl.pkg file but couldn't find any instructions.  
i also looked around in the obvious places in the file system (with the 
finder, not with a terminal) but couldn't find where it had left its 
files.

Yes. When you are in Acrobat Reader and you select the Print dialog 
box (command-P), there's an "Acrobat Reader" submenu, in which you 
should uncheck the box "Shrink oversize pages to paper size"

Yes, that might be an even better suggestion - to have the ability of 
defining a macro of your own choice. I think a major difficulty with LaTeX 
(at least for the GUI inclined users) is to understand when and why the 
different sub-programs should be called.

and split the result into multiple PDF files?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Message-ID: <F3B6C153-508E-11D6-9859-0050E4258255@mac.com>




More struggling with font installation...

Does anyone have any experience using ttf2tex on OS X?  From the readme:

> ttf2tex is a Bash shell script which generates all files required to

This seems a promising way to install TTF fonts for use in pdftex.  My 
problem is that I don't know how to get ttf2tfm working (which this 
script depends on).   I used Fink to download the "freetype 1.3.1-4" 
package.  When I ran my script, I got an error.  It seems the Fink 
package doesn't install ttf2tfm, and so I don't know how to get that 
installed.  A quick google search turns up others on the list who 
previously dealt with this, but no answers.

Suggestions?

Gerben, maybe it'd be nice to have ttf2tfm installed by default (or as 
an i-Package?)?

I tested that myself and got exactly the same result. One option is to 
use harvard style instead.

\cite{} gives you the "(name year, name year)"
\citeasnoun gives you "name (year)"

\usepackage{harvard}

an option for a bib style is {em} but I'm sure there are many other 
options.

Did you update Acrobat Reader? A couple of those bugs are eliminated in
version 5.0.5.

This all sounds very familiar indeed.

If he designed the logo in Illustrator, then saving directly as PDF
would give a bounding-box that is the whole page.
Other drawing programs do the same kind of thing.
(Some even include a filled white rectangle, having the size of
the page --- getting rid of that requires some knowledge of how
PostScript works.)

eps2pdf ( have you mis-spelled ?  epstopdf  or  ps2pdf )
uses Ghostscript --- a free program for interpreting PostScript
code, and saving the result into different image formats.
It generally does a good job of getting the BoundingBox right.

You can also give him another .eps, with correct bounding-box.
 ps2epsi  is the script for this.

bitmaps can be good, but only when viewed at the resolution for
which they were designed. A vector format is much better as the
master version; especially for a logo, which will be needed at
many different sizes and resolutions.

He probably has software that will enable this to be saved back
as a correct .eps , else he can use it directly with pdfTeX .

It sounds pretty typical really.
You did good.  :-)

teTeX works fine on a Sun --- indeed, on any Unix box.
If he has it already --- probably does, since you mentioned TeX initially ---
then maybe he hasn't discovered pdftex and pdflatex yet.
He can't use the TeXShop interface, but he's certainly got  vim 
and  emacs/auctex  available.

I have used pfaedit to generate afm's and pfb's from ttf's. With a few minor 
tweaks pfaedit compiles out of the box. It has a X11 gui, but you can run it 
with scripts (without a gui). It can read .dfont files and OS 9 fonts that 
are stored in rsrc forks. See http://pfaedit.sf.net. I install the fonts 
with famtool.pl, which uses fontinst.

Message-ID: <4.3.2.7.0.20020403163106.00b03ee0@pop.chembio.ntnu.no>




Hi,

I have encountered some problems with the packages "footbib" and "footmisc".
Footbib complains that "output routine of LaTeX changed" and footmisc winds
up in an endless loop when used with option "para". In the manual it is
explicitly stated that footmisc does not go along with packages that change
the output from LaTeX so I thought maybe the two problems are connected.
Can anyone tell me what the problem(s) might be? What I fear (and it would
really kill me) is to learn that there has been made changes to LaTeX that
are incompatible with (not only footbib and footmisc but) other packages as
well.

Tore.

User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5.1i

I've posted a comment about footbib. The "error" message
is meant to inform people that footbib might not work properly,
especially if they're using certain other packages which
modify the latex output routine. If you're sure you're not
using one of those packages (they're listed in the footbib documentation)
and you know footbib will produce the correct output, you can
comment lines 77 to 85 of footbib.sty:
% \if at tempswa ...
% \PackageError ...
% .
% .
% .
% \fi
After that, footbib.sty will run without displaying the error
message. On my computer footbib works ok when I do that.
Until footbib is rewritten for the latest LaTeX output
routines, there's no better way to do things.
An alternative is to use \scrollmode to process documents,
but then TeX won't stop even after it encounters more
serious errors

It's listed as a known problem, but when I try to use OzTeX 5.0 under 
OSX, I always get the "can't find editor of type R*ch" when I try to 
use BBEdit as the editor. I tried rebuilding the classic desktop from 
OSX, to no avail.

I don't think I'm interested enough to reboot into OS9(!!) just to 
fix a file path problem. Instead of the current method, how about 
using a pathname under OSX? Or, how about just letting me use the 
file dialogue box to -show- OzTeX which editor I want to use?

This is a bug in the pdf rendering of Quartz, the OS X display 
engine. The workaround is to print pdf files through Acrobat, which 
uses its own rendering mechanism.

The bug has been reported to Apple, but I suppose it won't hurt if 
you file another bug report.

As I just mentioned in an off-line mail to Enrico, I think I found 
out the explanation.
/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current is included in 
/usr/share/init/tcsh/login, not in /usr/share/init/tcsh/rc, so that 
the path is included in a login shell but not in a shell launched by 
a program.

So, yes the solution proposed by Michel is appropriate (unless Gerben 
finds it more appropriate to include the path modifications in the rc 
file in future releases of tetex).

Sorry, my explanations weren't that clear. I was referring to the 
Acrobat Reader item in the pop-up menu in the Print dialog of Acrobat 
Reader 5.0.5, that is the penultimate item before Summary and after 
Error treatment (or HP Image quality, for the HP 4050 I'm using).

It's not just Elsevier.
These  esstix  fonts are a product of the  STIX project:

 http://www.ams.org/STIX/

The American Math Society (AMS) and publishers other than Elsevier
have been involved as well, as have members of the TeX community.

It's similar to Microsoft and Netscape being heavily involved in the
initiatives resulting in HTML and XML specifications; but the project
itself is much wider and integrates with W3C and Unicode initiatives;
see e.g.

http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/WD-MathML2-19991222/chapter6.html#N33276


The main thrust of this work is that the typefaces used for mathematics
are evolving, so as to become easier and consistent across all platforms.

TeX should remain special, due to its superior algorithms for line-
and page-breaking. However the TeX "look" due to Computer Modern fonts
should become a thing of the past.
 

Hope this helps,

That doesn't make much sense to me, but anyway, I hope you saw my
alternative solution that uses an extra_tools entry to call BBEdit.
Not perfect, but if you don't want to repair your desktop file(s)
then it will have to do until I start work on OzTeX 5.1.

Nothing -- the $40 you paid for the CD included the OzTeX shareware fee
which covers you for all versions (past, present and future).

http://www-texdev.ics.mq.edu.au/WARM/xypdf.tar.gz

http://www-texdev.ics.mq.edu.au/WARM/  gets you to the
home-page for the WaRMreader macros.
These allow you, among other things, to put TeX typeset labels
over an imported image, with any flavour of TeX or LaTeX.
There are many examples at this site, in both HTML and PDF.

It works by using the images dimensions to establish a coordinatised
Xy-pic diagram. Labels and other annotations are placed with great
accuracy, either by using the coordinates directly, or (usual)
symbolically by reading the coordinates of "marked" points from
an auxiliary file that can be constructed independently.


Hope this helps,

It is not too difficult to add a custom format to TeXShop.  At
least, the following recipe worked for me for some simple personal
formats --- most of it was explained to me by Gerben.

However there are probably additional problems with running
LaTeX209: many of the files it reads have the same names as those
used by modern latex, and unless some custom search instructions
are given to latex209, it will find the 2e files instead and get
very confused.  I think a way to deal with this was described in
older versions of the OzTeX manual --- unfortunately these
instructions are not included in the new version.

Ignoring these problems for the moment --- assume the .ini file
for the custom format is called yourtex.ini :


Step 1: in the Terminal, build the format doing

   initex

and type

   yourtex\dump

in the * prompt.

Step 2: move the resulting file yourtex.fmt to a place where
tex can find it.  If your installation is a TeXLive one, this
would be in ~/Library/texmf/web2c (which you need to create if
it doesn't exist).  (If your installation is the tetex-style one,
I think there is another location --- in any case, one way to find
out is to issue the command

   kpsewhich latex.fmt

and study the response --- substitute the /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf
part with ~/Library/texmf)

Step 3: create a script for running tex with this format.  This
is a text file whose content is something like this:

#!/bin/sh
test -f "`kpsewhich yourtex.fmt`" || fmtutil --byfmt yourtex
exec pdftex -fmt=yourtex -progname=pdftex ${1+"$@"}

Name the file yourtex and make it executable (doing chmod +x yourtex),
and place it somewhere where TeXShop can find it.  A good place is
in ~/bin

(If your installation is a tetex-style one, the procedure is
a bit different for this step: instead of a script there is
a symbolic link.  Create a symbolic link to the pdftex binary
(whose path you find with kpsewhich and substitute for the
bracket in the following command):

	cd ~/bin
	ln -s   [path-to-the-pdftex-binary]  yourtex
	chmod +x yourtex

)

Step 4: Inside TeXShop, go to  "Preferences --> Script".
In the latex field, write the complete path to the file yourtex

To use the format, tick "Personal Script" in the Typeset Menu
(for each document you want to typeset with this script).  If
you want to make this script the default typesetting method,
go to "Preferences --> Typesetting" and choose "Personal Script".

Before it works it may be necessary to restart the shell or
perhaps issue the command texhash --- I'm not too sure about
this...


Cheers,
Joachim.

That's what I figured, by comparison with other apps. But I didn't 
know how to launch such an application from the terminal window.

Adrian,

Did you try

\usepackage[mathscr]{eucal}
......
\mathscr{H}    ?

I just tried mathrsfs, and to my eye this font is too slanted. For 
example, capital characters with overlines look out of balance. Another 
option might be the commercial postscript font called Linoscript. It's 
sufficiently baroque and has an upright rounded shape. I've looked at 
many script fonts, and unfortunately most are either too casual, or too 
florid, or aren't elaborate enough to be visually distinct from a swash 
style font with which you might want to mix together in the same 
document representing totally different types of objects. I have 
Linoscript, but I haven't yet been able to try it, since I'm still 
trying to figure out how to install postscript fonts correctly (So far I 
haven't gotten the Minion font to work). My impression is that 
Linoscript might have the right weight to work with CM.

In other cases adding to the file /usr/share/init/tcsh/rc the setting
of the path did solve the problem. This is just empirical evidence
which I cannot explain (in fact, in these hard-to-solve cases, even
the personal rc file is NOT loaded). 
So, I would suggest these people to add the path in
/usr/share/init/tcsh/rc and tell us whether they suceeded.

It'd be nice to have an i-Installer package for latex2html, and maybe an 
Applescript or a simple Applescript Studio GUI to access it...

Only ESSTIX14 is installed (I make a tfm file with fontinst). The other
esstix fonts are not usable with mbtimes. I put esstix archive in my package
only because I was not sure to be allowed to distribute only esstix14...


> What command do I use to access the blackboard

Yes. See in mbtimes.sty \mathbb is redefined \AtBeginDocument. I think that
esstix mathbb suits best with times than amssymb mathbb. In future release,
it shoulb be an option anyway (e.g. \usepackage[essbb]{mbtimes})

mbtimes provides only what provides stantard cm, but with a look wich suits
the times design (I hope...) : essentially more weight, but some sumbols
(calligraphics, sommation, and generally big operators) were totally
redesigned.

It alos provides a \mathbb command, and (for compatibility with amsmath)
\lvert, \rvert, \lVert, \rVert.

I think you can do it but exscale for instance is not usefull because it
extend the cm family and mbtimes switch to another family.

In fact you may use any font package, provided it don't switch back to cm...
You can even use the amssymb package, I think. Of course it should be best
to redesign all glyphs of amssymb (or use esstix) but it should be a big
work.

> If not, how do I access all these other esstix fonts?

Unless you make tfm, vf, encoding vectors, latex interface... you can't, I
am afraid...

No I don't think this should be regarded as SPAM.
There are many mathematicians on this list, and programs like
Mathematica and MATLAB are important tools in our teaching,
as well as perhaps for research.
Besides, they have TeX-output options, so can be regarded as
partial front-ends to TeX software.

The issue of the lack of MATLAB for MacOS X has been around for a long
time --- as long as OS X itself, I suppose.  :-)
I first became aware of it at an Apple Developers' Conference last
year (Townsville, Australia, Sept 2001) where the Apple developers
were requesting that the academics lobby MathWorks, to convince them
of the size of the market. 

So Apple wants it, and they have done what they can.
It is up to the prospective users to make their needs known.

Even if you don't use MATLAB now (on whatever platform --- I don't)
but think it a good idea that it should be available on MacOS X,
then visit the website above, and add a name to the list.


Hope this helps,

Hermant

You specify page ranges as

pages=n-m

where n and m are your page numbers. The manual for the package gives 
you the syntax---which is slightly counterintuitive, since it was 
designed for a slightly different purpose.

Heh, I'm getting ready for a presentation and I don't want to start playing
with it until after, just in case there is a crisis. I'll present my current
draft with the {plain} style and then move on with the correct format.
I'll post whatever my results are then. Thanks again for the great help.

Mathworks Considering OS X Mathlab
Fri, 12 Apr 2002, 21:54

Mathworks will be deciding soon about going forward with a Mac OS X 
version of Mathlab. An employee from Mathworks said that if this is 
important to you, that now would be the time to let them know.

According to him, it's being talked about within the company, but the 
decision could go either way. Polite emails to Tom Kush, VP of 
Marketing (tkush at mathworks.com) and/or Mark Kelly, VP of North 
American Sales (mkelly at mathworks.com) might be in order.

Got it to work finally (thanks Enrico), even with Mac-Roman 
characters, using the .emacs file for 20.6 - although there's an 
error message at startup, it seems to work properly.

A newbie question (although this might not be the most appropriate 
forum): when I select "pdflatex" from the Command menu, nothing 
happens (actually it says "problems after 0 page"), but the same file 
compiles perfectly from TeXShop. What's wrong? [the tex file is of 
course in Mac - not Unix - format].

Michael

I have had the same problem and unchecking that box did not help. Oddly 
it is behavior that I only see if I make a pdf on another computer and 
then display it under A.R. 5. So I put a frame around a page using 
pdfpages and found that displaying it under 5, elsewhere, shrunk it by 
90%. I could find no way to get the right size display---which is a 
problem since there was something that I'd intended to send to a printer.

cheers

There are other problems, too, about rebooting.

At present I am running Mathematica calculations which take about six 
days to complete (calculating a velocity field on a 133 X 133 grid) in 
the background on my G4, while doing usual desktop work on it. It is 
thus crucial for me to work in OS X, which doesn't crash, and not to 
reboot, otherwise I am just losing several days' work in one go. (OK, I 
set up Mathematica so that it writes all 133 X 133 results to an 
external file as they are obtained, but still there are problems if I 
have to restart the calculation.)

The file special_keys looks pretty much like an extract from 
option_keys, from the Textures distribution. I couldn't find this file 
anywhere on their FTP site, but since the file says it's in the public 
domain I guess it makes no harm including it here.

There's a file 8bitdefs.tex in the OzTeX distribution, with the same 
functionality though implemented differently. All that, anyway, isn't 
necessary in LaTeX 2e, where you just type

\usepackage[applemac]{inputenc}

(possibly accompanied by \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}) to get the same 
result.

The latter solution, I think, is also the only one which stills works 
should the file be sent to other platforms (provided the applemac above 
is replaced by the proper name, latin1 for example on UNIX machines).

% This document is in the Public Domain.
% It was created by Doug Henderson, Blue Sky Research,
% with modifications suggested by Joseph C. V?rilly.
% Added single quotes on 6-4-93.

% option_keys - 6-4-93 (last modification)
%
% This macro set defines characters found in the Apple Macintosh
% Monaco font. They allow users to simply type the keystroke
% equivalent of the character desired, such as ?, and have Textures?
% typeset it correctly, substituting the TeX macro equivalent
% for the character.
%
% The reason for the creation of this macro set was to take
% advantage of Knuth's new TeX 3.0 capabilities with 8-bit character
% sets. This functionality has been included in our Textures? as
% of version 1.3. By typing in nearly any character from the
% Macintosh keyboard, you can typeset with the characters directly
% rather than needing to define macros for these diacritic characters.
% Remember: these just expand single characters. They may not be
% defined in every context or mode.
%
% There are two sections to the macros; the first contains
% characters which can be rendered by depressing the option key
% and another key or shift and option keys with another key,
% and secondly, a combination of various keystrokes together
% to obtain the desired character. For example,
% to create the ? character, you depress the option and o character
% at the same time; to create the uppercase version of ?, you
% hold the shift, option key, and o key down, and to create the
% ? character, you first depress the option and n characters,
% then next the shift and n characters. The option and n create
% the tilde character, and the shift n produce the N character.
%
% Math symbols and math operators need special attention.
% When typing in math symbols the same
% rules apply for math mode as before, namely, you must place dollar
% signs or double-dollar signs around these symbols. When typing
% in math operators, such as the square root symbol, TeX expects
% you to supply an argument following it. For example, if you
% would like to take advantage of the definition here for the
% plus-minus sign, ?, and would like to type it directly for use
% in your text, you need to make sure you are in math mode when
% you call for the character, or simply place dollar signs around
% it to print only the plus minus sign thusly, $?$. Similarly,
% you also need to be in math mode when asking for the square root
% symbol, ?, and additionally supply an argument to it.
% The following example shows how to use both the plus-minus sign
% and the square root sign in an equation that has been simplified
% for you via these macro definitions.

That is the default. Have you used \bibpunct to change it?

Hmmm...
If you look at the property list of the tfm of an ex tex font (like cmex),
you will find something like

for integral text:
(CHARACTER O 122
   (CHARWD R 0.472223)
   (CHARDP R 1.111122)
   (CHARIC R 0.194446)
   (NEXTLARGER O 132)
   )
for integral display:
(CHARACTER O 132
   (CHARWD R 0.555557)
   (CHARDP R 2.222246)
   (CHARIC R 0.444446)
   )

And now look at esstix afm file: this font claims to be AdobeStandard
encoded (!), and of course, most of the information that you need to make a
tfm font is not actually present. So it is not impossible to make a tex
system with esstix, but it should be a lot of work for the ex font.
Moreover, I am not quite sure one should be allowed to convert these fonts
in a mac format.

I've noticed this kind of effect on the screen as well, specifically 
with \bigcup. The bottom of the big union symbol is sometimes missing, 
both in the TeXShop viewer and in Acrobat Reader. If my memory is 
correct, it happens only with magnifications > %100, and it doesn't 
happen consistently. The bottom of the union symbol usually reappears if 
scrolled off and then back onto the screen.

Are there any similar packages that work with pdflatex? pdflatex seems

This is somehow expected :-)

In fact, the mac-emacs application has the only role to launch the
Emacs.app bundle and the exits.  Is the proper Emacs program running then?

I've used Gerben Wierda's program to install tetex, gs7, etc. I also
installed TeXShop. I am working on an old project, so I am going
tex+ghostscript. A few problems that may be due to wrong settings and I am
hoping someone may be able to help. First the file:

\documentclass{acm_proc_article-sp} (never mind the class file, it is the
                                     same with simple article)
\usepackage{epsfig}
\begin{document}


    \begin{figure}[ht!]
    \centering
    \includegraphics[width=9cm]{../Figures/dialog_2.eps}
     \caption{Three types of shots in a DS} % {Figure {1}}
    \label{fig1}
    \end{figure}


Here are the problems I am having:

1. The paper is being typeset for A4
2. The pdf file that is displayed in Preview does not contain any text other
than title, author information, section/subsection headings and figures.
There are scattered "ff"s on the pages.
3. When I look at the postscript file using MacGhostViewX, it shows the text
allright, but none of the included eps figures.
4. When I convert the ps to pdf using MacGhostViewX, the result is the same
as described under (2).
5. When I look at the generated pdf file using Acrobat Reader 5, it is
perfectly fine, the figures are in place, the text is in place, etc.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I downloaded your viewer.  Good work.  But given the limitations of 
Quartz, I doubt whether it is usable for presentations.

1.   Included QuickTime movies don't work (a must for me!)

2.  Some of the typesetting is not rendered correctly

3. For some reason, the pages of my presentations are shifted by about 
1/3 of a page to the right.  This must be a bug of the "presenter" since 
they display correctly in the previewer.

I guess we are stuck with Acrobat until Apple fixes and extends Quartz.

Have you compared the contents of the two config.ps files?
dvips will only honor a special pagesize if the config.ps file contains an
entry for this pagesize (similar to the a4 and letter entries). Apparently
one of them does and the other doesn't. The one that does must have been
customized. 

It could also be in a ~/.dvipsrc file rather than the config.ps file
because this is used as an addition to the config.ps file. So also chack
this. I think it could even be a .dvipsrc file (not the starting dot) in
the current directory. Use terminal to check the existence of these files,
as the Finder will not show them by default.

I'm not using any programs to do that, but rather have followed this 
page's tip (which works flawlessly):
<http://ella.slis.indiana.edu/~jfieber/osx/>:

"1.  cd /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents
     cd PlugIns/AppleUSBKeyboard.kext/Contents
            (that was just one very long path name,
             done as two commands...)
     sudo vi Info.plist

    and add:
            <key>Swap control and capslock</key>
            <integer>1</integer>

     under IOKitPersonalities/AppleUSBKeyboard.

2.  Remove the file /System/Library/Extensions.mkext .
     This is a device driver cache. The modified AppleUSBKeyboard
     driver will not be loaded if this file exists. The next reboot
     will rebuild this file with the modified AppleUSBKeyboard
     driver. (Note the reboot will take a bit longer than normal
     as it builds the file.)

3.  Reboot.

Thanks Bruno,

I don't see an Acrobat Reader 5.0.5  in the pop-up menu in the Print dialog in
OS X ? Is that what you are looking at ?

Speaking of bugs: Every now and then Acrobat Reader displays files, 
but fails to print them. The print center kicks in, but the files 
never appear as hardcopy on the printer. This happens with both 5.0 
and 5.0.5. Printing the files in question on a Windows machine is no 
problem.

Does anybody have a clue to this problem?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I've noticed this problem with the preview in bibdesk also. The 
previewer is none other than pdftex  -- here's what happens: bibdesk 
writes out a temporary .bib file, runs pdftex,bibtex,pdftex on a very 
simple tex file that has \nocite{*}, then loads the resulting pdf into 
the previewer.

So (take into account that I'm not an expert on TeX/LaTeX), my guess 
about why newapa and other styles choke is that I'm using TeX instead of 
LaTeX, or my simple template is just dumb.

A great contribution for someone who uses bibdesk and knows LaTeX better 
than me would be to take a look at the .tex file it copies into 
~/Application Support/BibDesk/ and come up with one that will work with 
these styles and look good in the previewer window. I'm sure my template 
is embarrassingly dumb.

If you want details about what it needs to do to work right with 
bibdesk, mail me privately.

Oh, and a user noted this bug in the current version (and all previous 
ones, probably): It doesn't actually listen to the tex & bibtex path 
preferences. it will always try to use the path to Gerben Wierda's teTeX 
distribution's version of pdftex and bibtex. Unfortunately this will 
make creating an appropriate LaTeX template file more challenging...

Message-ID: <79FF6820-45D7-11D6-A0E6-0003938BDC62@gamma2.uta.edu>



Monday, 1 April 2002



Hello,

I was hoping that one of you might be able to help me with a 
misunderstanding about typesetting matrix equations in LaTeX.  I have 
read through the table and matrices sections of Kopka & Daly's book 
(Chapters 4 & 5), but I seem to be missing something in which teTeX 
isn't happy with.  My source looks something like the following:

\begin{equation}
\[
\left[
\begin{array}{llcl}
(\vec{e_1},\vec{e_1}) & (\vec{e_1},\vec{e_2}) & \cdots & 
(\vec{e_1},\vec{e_n})\\
(\vec{e_2},\vec{e_1}) & (\vec{e_2},\vec{e_2}) & \cdots & 
(\vec{e_2},\vec{e_n})\\
\multicolumn{4}{c}\dotfill\\
(\vec{e_n},\vec{e_1}) & (\vec{e_n},\vec{e_2}) & \cdots & 
(\vec{e_n},\vec{e_n})
\end{array} \right]

\left[
\begin{array}{c}
c_1\\
c_2\\
\vdots \\
c_n
\end{array} \right]

=


\left[
\begin{array}{c}
(\vec{f},\vec{e_1})\\
(\vec{f},\vec{e_2})\\
\vdots \\
(\vec{f},\vec{e_n})
\end{array} \right]
\]
\end{equation}

I was hoping this would typeset two matrices being multiplied by each 
other and which were equal to a third array, and of course have an 
equation number next to it.  Any help about where I went wrong would be 
appreciated.

Thanks,

If you have Adobe Illustrator, and the MarkedObjects plug-in, 
then creating the .bb file is a snap,
whatever the original application that made the .eps file.

The instructions you read were for making a .mbb file,
*directly in Mathematica*, using its Front-End software.
In this case, there are 2 different ways to "Save as EPS",
which give different results. You have to muck-around a bit
to "get it right", according to whichever way you do that save.

> very interesting.

Gary and Francesco use the Illustrator/MarkedObjects combination.
This is indeed straight-forward; though the plug-in is still
only beta, having some known bugs.

(BTW, in positioning labels, it helps to know a bit about Xy-pic.
This is especially so if you want to use arrows, circles, rectangles
etc. tied to the text/math labels.)



However, the WaRMreader package can be used without the plug-in.
The method is sufficiently flexible, that you "can" define
your own formats for storing the coordinate data;
then "program" a set of TeX macros to match that format. 
That's what the 'reader' means, in the name.


If you are adventurous enough to try this...

There are 4 or 5 examples of different formats in the macro file:
 warmreader.tex  --- doubtless someone will say that you need to be
a TeX magician to even try to read this file.

That's probably true.  :-)

Certainly you need to understand pattern-matching for TeX macros,
far beyond what is normal with LaTeX.


One example takes files of city names and locations (latitude/longitude
expressed in degrees/minutes/seconds) and transforms it to rectangular
coords over a Robinson Projection of a map of the world.

That this is possible is an indication of how powerful TeX can be,
as a programming language.



Have fun,

	Ross

I don't know about the Windows version, but in Acrobat for OS X this 
may be due to something that somebody mentioned earlier on the list, 
viz., the "Shrink Oversized Pages to Paper Size" option in Acrobat 
being switched on (which it is, it seems, by default). You can find 
it in the Print dialog, under the Menu that if you bring up the 
dialog, has "Copies & Pages". Switching it off results in pages being 
printed in the same size in TeXShop, Preview, and Acrobat on my 
system.

Yes, however, I will need someone to send me a good binary. This stuff 
depends on freetype, which depends on X11, and my system is X11 free.

I would like to produce a font i-Package (other thing stoo, like adding 
TeX's pfb's to ghostscript, I already have a submitted script for that)

I second a request for Gerben to explain this... I now have no idea what 
version I have installed since I don't know what the i-installer does. 
It obviously does not tell me if there is a new version available.

I have been through all this before too. :-)

My guess is that you need to install it as root, use pseudo.app (which works
very nicely) or grab the authenticating installer from Gerben's web site:

<ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/comp/macosx/volumes/TeX-thin.dmg>

Any of those options should work (I have tried all of them at one time or
another).

You probably belong to the very small group (2 people by now) who can
not see the path from within a tcsh launched from a program, among the
400+ who installed mac-emacs. Let's go offline, and I'll try to
understand your settings. In the meantime, can you please scan the file
/usr/share/init/tcsh/rc and check whether you find somewhere the path
/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current ?

I've tested. It works nicely. For details about controling the

Depends on what goes wrong. With my distribution, this just works. It is

Thanks to Michael, Martin, and Richard for the suggestions. I agree that 
the slant on the rsfs is a bit extreme, but it seems to me the best 
solution. I had a look at Linoscript and to my eye its too upright---too 
much like mathcal.

Message-ID: <B8E0A1C9.2E65%bdarcus@mac.com>




I sent this earlier, but it doesn't seem to have worked.

I came across the script ttf2tex, which seems perfect for easy installation
of truetype fonts for use in pdftex (can we say i-Installer package??).  My
problem, though, is the following:

The script requires ttf2tfm.

Ttf2tfm is part of Freetype.  So, I download and install freetype and Bash
via Fink.  Everything seems fine, except that ttf2tfm is really part of
another optional package called ttf2pk, which is NOT available as a Fink
package.  So I get errors when I run the script.

Soo...my question is, how do I get ttf2tfm installed and working properly?
I have not had much luck compiling source code.

A quick google search turned up a question about this awhile back, but no
answer...

Bruce

Message-ID: <6713AAF0-4BD9-11D6-A731-000A27E362E0@hmg.inpg.fr>



Is there a way to teach TeXShop to open a document at a fixed position 
within the preview window?

More clearly: for the moment, every time I open a .tex file the 
corresponding .pdf file is shown with the lower left corner of the 
preview window corresponding to the lower left corner of the first page 
of the .pdf document. Is it possible to change this?

Though this behaviour is not really an annoyance, it would be helpful 
(in my case) if TeXShop could open the .pdf file with some user-defined 
portion of the page shown in the preview window, not necessarily the 
lower left portion; or maybe simply if TeXShop could remember how the 
page was positioned in the preview window the last time this file was 
opened. Ditto for remembering the page number.

My reason for suggesting this: I am working on a document where the text 
occupies only a relatively small portion of each page (publisher's 
instructions). I enlarged the scale to 150 % and reduced the preview 
window to approximately half-screen size, so about half the page is 
shown in it. Then, every time I open the document, I must re-position 
the text within the window. Again, not really an annoyance, but...

this an OT, i think newbie story and request, i apologize in advance if 
i'm outta line posting, but i am trying to learn:

today the systems guys here were trying to figure out a .psd graphics 
problem -into a teX'd document, or to be teX'd.

the assist. admin. is groveling about this school .psd logo image having 
a "bounding box" that is causing it to print a quarter of the, 
apparently to huge, image as a "eps?" file -i guess he made an eps of 
it. anyway...

he was saying something about there being too much bounding box or 
something -i couldn't really catch it as he wasn't addressing me -BUT... 
sitting there at my Mac OSX with TeXShop and all this nice stuff 
installed (eps2pdf) etc., i thought -well of this list and various 
things i've read about here!

so i quickly downloaded eps2pdf and the logo and converted it to a pdf, 
then i heard him talking about some advice he'd gotten but hadn't 
figured out yet -IncludeGraphics, etc.... now i'm thinking oh oh!.. 
silently. :-)

so i open TeXShop and easily find the IncludeGraphics section and i read 
that it works with pdf... so i'm thinking so far so good... not much 
ensues:

ending is:  now i'm up to where he is and i offer... with the logo 
opened in Acrobat on my screen... "is this how you want it?" (logo image 
appears to be to the borders) he says, "how'd you do that?" i say, "i 
converted it to pdf.
He says, "i don't think i can use a pdf." i'm thinking... i bet he can, 
though i've read here that going to pdf should be at final stage(?) 
-maybe that's what he wants.
oh, and i heard him, earlier, saying something about a bitmap... i'm 
thinking... hmm... "...embedded bitmap in teX doc?"... where have i 
heard about possible problems there.

anyway, he says, "send me the pdf."

if anyone would care to *try* to decipher this and shed any light, 
provided any of it makes sense and there is enough info here, please 
mail me?

(He was on a Sun trying to print the file -looked like a letter head 
with logo [the culprit image] at the upper left corner.)

thanks.

Ted

pdftex does not use ghostscript. It produces PDF directly.

Also, pdftex on your Sun workstation may not be the same version as the 
one on Mac OS X ("pdftex --version" will tell you). Most pdftex's out 
there are pretty old. The same goes for ghostscript, which is available 
in many versions, all producing (slightly) different PDF.

Subject: OzTeX 5.0 is now available
Message-ID: <f04310100b8e5cd7834e4@[202.45.99.122]>



OzTeX 5.0 is available for download (10.1MB) from the main CTAN sites:

ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/systems/mac/oztex/oztex5.sit
ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/systems/mac/oztex/oztex5.sit
ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/mac/oztex/oztex5.sit

After unpacking the .sit file please read the supplied Read-Me file.

Here are the changes to the 5.0a release:

* Fixed an obscure bug that could stop a TeX/DVI/PS file being remembered.

* Fixed a bug handling "|" in config file comment lines (%...) and message
  lines (@...).  Also, lines containing only spaces/tabs are now ignored
  (they used to generate a rather confusing error message).

* OzTeX now saves the drop_tex/dvi/ps lists before a drop.config/foo.config
  file is loaded and restores the lists after the dropped file is processed.
  Because any drop_tex/dvi/ps settings in these config files are temporary,
  there is no possibility of an unexpected task list being activated when
  a different file is dropped.

* Added :TeX:Docs:LaTeX:drop.config which shows how to convert dropped
  EPS files to PDF and then preview them (requires OS X and Ghostscript).

* The ":TeX:Configs:Use texmf tree" file has been improved.  In particular,
  $c has been added at the START of OzTeX's ps_folders list so that dvips
  will use OzTeX-specific files like :TeX:DVIPS:Inputs:special.pro.

* Modified :TeX:DVIPS:Inputs:config.ps so that the a4 paper size lines come
  before A4size.  The advantage for people who use A4 paper is that an "a4"
  command is included in the dvips output; this forces Unix commands based
  on Ghostscript (like ps2pdf) to use the correct paper size.  There is
  no longer any need to add a "-t a4" option to dvips.

* I decided to remove XRay, Excalibur and Odd Jobs from the Extras folder
  to reduce the size of the .sit file (they are on the new OzTeX CD, but
  not in Extras).

* The "Related Software" item in OzTeX's Help menu contains a large list of
  links to TeX-related software and resources.

* Minor changes to the OzTeX User Guide and various other docs.

Andrew

PS. The OzTeX CD master has been sent to the distributors and should be
ready for delivery next week.  More about the CD later.

Thanks to Gary Gray for pointing me to this list. Here is my problem, 
hope someone can help.

I have been using a PC package called PC_Tex. It allowed me to add 2.09 
(or any other distribution lis AMS-TeX) then select what I want with a 
menu, much as TexShop allows Tex or Latex. Now that I am switching over 
to MacOSX I am hoping that I can add 2.09 as one of the choices to 
TexShop.

Is there a way to do this with TexShop?

Note that the 2e compatibility mode does not work due to required style 
files from the publisher. Apparently they rewrote parts of 2.09 to suit 
them and have not managed yet to carry this stuff over to 2e. So it is 
not a fault of the 2.09 emulation, rather it is stuff hardwired between 
their style files and their 2.09 version. In any case I have to use 2.09.

I hate to ask, but we have but one copy of Illustrator X (or any Ill)..
and it's not licensed by the user in this case.

Arghh!

If I move the file so that I can use the Illustrator program to correct 
the dots (remember the problem is that -in the end this file is being 
sent to a PC as a PDF and the dots won't print for that person)... how 
do I repair the dots in Illustrator, if you don't mind the lesson?

Thanks in advance,
Ted

p.s. right now out only solution is to scan that particular page and 
insert it into the email transmission as a replacement for that page, 
but I'd really like to find a fix near the root of what this problem is.

I have to use the dreadful APA style, so I use newapa as my 
bibliography style. The preview has some overlapped characters. My 
guess is that instead of writing [1], and then the reference, 
BibDesk's previewer is writing [Kuhs & Ball (1986)] and then the 
reference, but it seems to be that BibDesk leaves just enough room 
for one character or two between the brackets. I'm so glad with the 
way BibDesk works, that this is a minor inconvenience with which I'm 
willing to live. However, it would be nice to put this in a 'to do' 
list.

Subject: [OS X TeX] from tex->ps to tex->pdf: advice needed
Message-ID: <20020412114107.3F2B86%054F0231@gmx.net>



Hi all:

Until now, I have been very happy with my tex->dvi->ps process. But
under macosx, displaying pdf is much faster then ps, so having pdf as a
final product makes more sense. Unfortunately, the ps->pdf step takes as
much time as the tex->dvi step, which makes the complete process
tex->dvi->ps->pdf quite long. So I am considering finnaly moving to
tex->pdf, with pdf(la)tex.

The problem are the figures. I have two needs that were perfectly
satisfied with the tex->dvi->ps process above: the creation of simple
figures and the labelling of complex figures. I created simple figures
with pstricks and I labeled the more complex figures (created usually
with comercial programs like adobe illustrator) with psfrag.

None of these tools are available for pdftex, which means I will have to
use new ones, and this is where I ask for your advice.

I know that there is metapost, and that is can be used with pdftex, so I
could use it to replace pstricks. I know nothing of metafont, but I
assume there is a way to learn metapost without having to learn
metafont.

Recently on this list someone pointed to the WARMreader. It is a way to
use xypic to place labels with TeX on any graphic. This seems like a
good alternative, both to psfrag and to metapost. Instead of learning
metapost and warmreader+xypic, I would just learn the latter, create
even the simple graphics with a commercial wysiwyg tool and use
warmreader+xypic to place the labels.

Dropping my knowledge of pstricks and psfrag and learning a new tool is
not an easy step. It took me some time to master pstricks as I do now,
and warmreader+xypic, although very powerfull, seem to required some
effort to master.

So the question is:
What do you have to say about labeling figures using pdftex. Is
warmreader+xypic a good choice and worth the effort of learning? Are
there other approches?

Thanks!

Paulo

I just ran Gerben's wonderful 'i-installer' and now my 'which ps2pdf' 
turns it up and everything works great!
(i realize your installation may be a customized one; but it 
straightened out my installs.)

Gary,

I read somewhere that the teTeX distribution includes some LaTeX 
templates for items such as report, thesis, etc.  I was wondering how do 
I open up these files using TeXShop, and is there a sample document 
included with such templates to give you a sample of the  layout?

Thanks,

Dear Ross,
Can you give me the instructions to install the XYpicPDF please ? I have 
donwload the drivers but I don't know how to use it !
Thanks,

Le samedi 13 avril 2002, ? 11:26 , Ross Moore a ?crit :

Hi everybody,

I use TeXShop in TeX + Ghostscript because I use the XY-pic package, but
I also want to include figures in jpeg or pdf format, and it doesn't
work ; if I use PdfTex it works without any problem. Is somebody can
help me ?

Get the  pdftex  drivers for Xy-pic from:

	http://www-texdev.ics.mq.edu.au/WARM/

That should help significantly.

Message-ID: <B8CE9A05.180CD%gordonsick@mac.com>




Matt,
    Thanks for your quick and detailed reply. I'll have to spend some
time digesting it's content.
    Meanwhile, I think that we may have a solution to your problems as well.
The dificulty is in making this work reliably.
    When I ran Tex and ghostscript and then opened in either Illustrator
or Acrobat, the fonts were vector fonts and they scaled without any
jaggies. The only problem was the missing characters in Illustrator when
I didn't use ghostscript.
    Note that in this setting, we aren't trying to reimport back to
Tex, so I've just tried a simple example that pulls it back into Tex
(TexShop) and the Ghostscript example does come back fine and scales
Properly (smoothly).
    It looks like there are lots of minor things that help or prevent
the right results form happening. I'm still now sure what is really
needed and what stops the show.
    In the past we've used Textures and Illustrator (with eps files as the
medium) and had success. We're looking for the OS X native solution.
    The ghostscript I'm using is the default one from the installer that
Gerben Wierda has on the web (I tried his slick i-Installer.app)

I'll try that, but what I want is for the Bibliography entry NOT to have the
label shown.

The problem I have is that if I have a label in the bibitem, it shows in the
beginning of the bibliography item (eg: "[Canzonery:01]"). I don't want this
in the bibliography itself, but if I remove the label, it defaults to
numbers and I can't cite in the text.

> Hi,
> Has somebody known how to use the xy-pdf package ?

First you need to install it, as follows....
                  ^^^^^^^

The archive  xypdf.tar.gz  unpacks to folder 'xypdf Folder'
which contains a collection of 7 files having names:
  xypdf<something>.tex

You need to copy or move these into your texmf tree.

To find out where, use a command in a terminal window
           kpsewhich xy.sty 

This should give something like:
	[go:~] rossmoor% kpsewhich xy.sty
	/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/generic/xypic/xy.sty

so the required location is:

	/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/generic/xypic/

To actually do the copy, you may need admin privileges.
So here's how I just did it (commands and comments):

cd ~                   # change to home directory
cd Desktop/Downloads   # change to sub-dir for receiving downloads
cd "xypdf Folder"      # need quotes to include the space in the name
sudo cp xy*.tex /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/generic/xypic

After giving the password, the copy was done.
Now the files are ready to be used.


To use the pdf driver with Xy-pic,
   ^^^
just include  pdftex  as part of the loading options for the
xy package, in your document's preamble:

e.g. (LaTeX)
	\usepackage[xypdf,all,graph]{xy}
                    ^^^^^

(non-LaTeX)
	\input xy.tex
	\xyoption{xypdf}\xyoption{all}\xyoption{graph}
	^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^



Hope this helps,

	Ross Moore

It turns out that while ttf2tex requires freetype, freetype does not require
X11.

I've ran into a couple problems though.  One is that the source code for
ttf2tfm doesn't compile perfectly.  I get this error:

I don't know what to make of this.

The other thing (or maybe its related?) is that ttf2tfm can't map a whole
lot of characters.  I'm most concerned about ligatures, which it gets
confused by.  I don't understand enough about fonts and TeX to know if this
is unavoidable, or some kind of error.

It turns out that the mirroring mechanism I use fo rupdating the 
i-packages had reported success to me but had actually failed. Thus, the 
i-packages on the web site have not been updated at all. I suspect this 
leads to problems, as in i-Installer trying to reload over and over 
again as it does not get the contentit needs. People using their 
original i-installers notice that there is no updated package at all. 
They are correct, the package has not arrived at the web site yet (but 
it was reported to me as having arrived). In the future, i'll have to 
double check that the software actually tells me the truth. Sigh.

I'll report asap when things are ok again.

Hi

Does anyone else find that Adobe Reader 5.05 on OS X shrinks output by 90% when
you print. I had a template sent to me by a publisher saying "this
line is blah blah long" and on printing it out iin Reader it
was 90% of that.  Opening and printing in TeXShop gives the correct length ?

I strongly support this, I have the same problem with bibtopic.

I would suggest (and have already suggested...) that the user should be
able to define exactly which programmes should be used in which order, i.e.
define some kind of makro that calls

latex document
bibtex document1
bibtex document2
latex document

in the case of bibtopic.

I'll try to create a i-Package soon, but I am very busy with some other

In case this helps: I include quite often Mathematica graphs into LaTeX 
papers. The graphs are not especially sophisticated (i.e. they do not 
include dots), they are basic 2D curves or 3D surface or contour 
graphics. What works for me (with TeXShop) is:

(1) saving the graphs as EPS files from Mathematica;

(2) dragging the EPS files onto TeXShop, which converts them to PDF 
files and displays them;

(3) include the PDF graphics in my LaTeX document using the graphicx 
package and TeXShop in pdfTeX mode.

In this way everything has worked fine for me so far. For some reason I 
do not fully understand, the graphics package does not work well with 
pdfTeX, I cannot crop graphics, i.e.

\includegraphics*[viewport=0 0 380 380]{geomreal-alt.pdf}

works but

\includegraphics*[380,380]{geomreal-alt.pdf}

doesn't.

Bruno Voisin

PS In case this issue is raised: I did not notice any difference between 
the Classic and OS X versions of Mathematica, the EPS files produced are 
the same in either version.

Will do.  I already have a warning about teTeX's makeindex requiring
Unix line endings, so I'll add texconfig to the list.

There really is no need for OzTeX users to be putting OzTeX-supplied
files into the teTeX trees so I'll also point out the potential
dangers in my docs.

Subject: [OS X TeX] Large Symbols Partially Printed from PDF from LaTeX
Message-ID: <20020426003347.14101.qmail@math.uic.edu>



Excuse me if this problem has been solved, but I could not find any solution.

I just upgraded from OS 4.2 (NeXT) to OS X (Mac 10.1.2), and yesterday
I downloaded and installed the recent regular version TeXShop and
Wierda's teTeX/GS packages.  Everything installed easily without much
pain.  However, when I tested the combined system on a current finance
paper, I found that large symbols like brackets or integral signs
generated from \left and \right pairs had only the top part of the
symbol printed from the PDF output.  These large symbols viewed
correctly in the PDF viewer or Preview.

Richard Koch said on his site that 
===
At the moment, we know of three important Apple bugs. All have been reported to Apple. 

*       The printer sometimes prints accented letters with the accent
in the wrong spot, even though the accent is shown correctly on the
screen.

*       Some printers chop off the bottom of large symbols: integral
signs, summation signs, and parentheses of various types. These symbols
are shown correctly on the screen. Postscript printers do not have this
problem; many ink jet printers do.

*       Pdf files created by ghostscript 7.0 display with missing
fonts, even though pdf files created by ghostscript 6.0 display
correctly.
=====

My first attempt was using latex with pdflatex checked, and then on
various command line combinations of pdflatex, dvips/ps2pdf, to narrow
down the problem, even using various dvips options like -Ppdf -G and
-Pamz, but none of these worked when the proper PDF file was
printed.  On some systems using TeTeX and Ghostscript, the G option
caused improper ligature conversions.

However, I am not sure the problem is an Apple problem, since 
when I transferred a PDF file from the same latex source using an old teTeX
>from OS 4.2 and Adobe Distiller for ps->pdf, the PDF file viewed
and printed the large symbols in full.

Thanks in Advance for any Help,
Floyd Hanson

Why not just use the page-range selection in the Print dialogue box 
and set the "Output Options" in the dialogue to "Save file as PDF"?

No muss, no fuss, no changes to your source file.

And I will take this opportunity to say how bizarre I find it that in 
Windows (at least 98 and 2000) there does not seem to be any standard 
way to generate postscript (or PDF) files from arbitrary programs. I 
have relied on this feature of MacOS for years for putting all manner 
of stuff on my web page.

You haven't said how to align the columns.
e.g.
   \begin{tabular}{|ccc|} 
or
  \begin{tabular}{||lll}
etc.

so TeX is looking for information that isn't there.

Since it always parses left-to-right, it will be thinking
that you want a double-vertical line at the left-hand edge,
of a column aligned ???? .
Saying just
   \begin{tabular}{||l}   is *not* enough; for then you will
get errors later on trying to put more than one cell in a row.
You *must* specify the alignment of *all* cell columns.

Hope this helps,

I downloaded and installed, but the mac-emacs application quits 
immediately after starting (PowerBook G3/500 MHz, MacOSX 10.1.3 
(SQ45)).

What do you need TeX elements in Illustrator for? If it's just minor 
labels &c., then you could try Ross Moore's / Wendy McKay's WarmReader 
plug-in for Illustrator.

If it's for precision positioning of elements, rasterize the .eps at 576 
dpi, or some other multiple of 72 (so things look perfect at even 100% and 
doubled resolutions), place that on a non-printing layer, and note the 
positioning, then place the graphics, export the .eps, and composite the 
two in a layout app (or FreeHand)

Sorry for my ignorance, but where do I enter the command
\usepackage[authoryear]{natbib}

Can I just enter that somewhere in my root file such as:

\documentclass{econ-thesis}
\usepackage[dvips]{graphicx}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage[authoryear]{natbib}

And then use \bibliographystyle{plainnat} ?

Or does it have to be somewhere else?

Do I understand correctly that by calling that package I will then be able
to cite with 'round' and 'colon' options (by default) without any extra
configuration on my part (simply by using /cite{} )?
Do I have to do anything in the .bst file or the natbib.sty file?

Again, I'm just beginning to understand all of this though I have read a
lot.

Thanks for the clarification.

Hi

I want to use \mathscr to produce a script H, (for Hilbert Space), and 
it requires the eucal package---or so Diller's book says. But it doesn't 
appear to be in teTeX. Does anyone know how to access the package---and 
if not, what is a good way to produce a script letter form in math mode?

Thanks in advance

Hi Gary

Thanks. Does this mean that acrobat reader thinks that my
documents are always too big ?  Do you know why that is ?

   Just FYI . . .

   The ESSTIX fonts were sort of linked with the STIX project
at one point but are not part of the project and are, as
far as I know, strictly an Elsevier project.

   I don't know what Elsevier might be planning to do with
ESSTIX, but STIX will be a different set.

> What's so hard about booting OS 9?

There is a problem booting up too frequently in OS9, as I have just 
discovered. Recently I had to boot into OS9 twice in the space of a 
week---I hadn't previously done it for months. After going back to OSX, 
my PB500 now crashes when it goes to sleep---only a restart will do. 
This had never happened until I went to OS9.

Coincidence, you might think? It seems not. There were reports on 
MacCentral just a few weeks ago on this---and it seems Apple knows of 
the problem. Booting into OS9 seems to progressively weaken your 
computer, giving it the problem many people experienced on early OS9 
systems---and known, cutely, as 'the sleep of death'.

I can't say I'm impressed by Apple's failure to warn its users.

(I should add the obligatory OSX caveat---some users have not 
experienced this problem and I have no idea what distinguishes those 
that do from those that don't.)

Be sure to use Acroread-5.0.5. Acroread-5.0 had worse bugs than Apple's Preview.

Thank you very much for the info. This is a very important tip for me!

Yes; and I just had it happening with the lower half of \Bigl ( and 
large braces (moustaches) at 160% .
On changing the scaling in the TeXShop window, the missing bits came,
and I've been unable to force the bad effect since.

There was nothing missing when the page was printed.

So I guess some electrons just got lazy for awhile.  :-)

The use of direct Mac Non ASCII characters is certainly a non 
portable solution but..:

	1) Is more efficient (\' is a macro that after expanding is 
converted to \accent19..)
	2) Works with the tabble environment (\'a does not)
	3) It's also better than babel-activation accents for use with 
foreign bibs since some foreigns name have ' that babel interprets as 
active accents.
	4) It's relatively portable if you distribute also the input file 
since although the file have the usual bizarre characters, those 
characters will be correctly interpreted by latex via the input of 
that option_key


I complete some time ago the option_key file (originally from Doug 
Henderson of Blue Sky Research) and called it NoASCCI.sty.

Below it is my file.

Thanks for this list!

   Are there any similar packages that work with pdflatex? pdflatex
   seems to be a lot less trouble, and I could probably do without

Why dont you try pdfscreen.sty (available at CTAN) which works best
with pdfLaTeX? You can also make use of your pstricks code in your
pdfLaTeX documents with the help of pdftricks.sty (available at 
CTAN).

I am sorry for this presumably stupid question, but I always wondered. I 
guess I still do not quite get the idea. Today the "dedicated installer" 
that I had downloaded with TeX-fat did *not* detect any new version of TeX 
(programs and foundation) ... I have tried to find the answers on Gerben's 
webpage and from the built-in help, but could not find them. If they are 
answered in some FAQ then please do not hesitate to just point me to it.

I would like to know:

- How does the iInstaller know which packages I have installed? I am 
asking, because, when I open it, it opens windows for TeX-programs, 
TeX-foundation and GS-6 automatically. I have downloaded and installed 
GS-7, which it does not open a window for automatically. Is that the 
supposed behaviour?

- Where is it supposed to download the packages or updates to? I am asking 
because the package GS-7, for instance, is in ~/Library/Caches/i-Installer 
(although I am pretty sure I had run it authenticated!?), but I cannot 
find the other packages anywhere. There is no folder "i-Installer" in 
/Library/Caches/ at all.

Thanks for your help.
Holger

You need to run the terminal and set the paper size. Issue the following
commands in the terminal:

sudo texconfig dvips paper letter
sudo texconfig pdftex paper letter

That is a result of using GS 7 with the TeX + GhostScript option. If you
open the file in Acrobat, it should look right (usually). You may want to
install GS 6.

I am not sure why that is happening.

That has been my experience (see above).

We have installed GS 7 to fix a bug in the generation of radial gradients
under GS 6. On the other hand, we only typeset using TeX + GS when
WARMreading figures for inclusion in documents typset using pdflatex. Of
course, we may be going back to GS 6 since we seem to be having some
problems printing these documents. :-)

Good luck,

I guess that depends on the presentation. If you have relatively little 
multi-media and relatively large amounts of mathematics, I guess it 
could work. The difference for line-art (graphs) when compared to 
acrobat is amazing.

I deliberately put a black surface behind my pdf-rendering. The aspect 
ratio of the material is preserved (if you want, I can change 
that... ;-) and the whole page is displayed in the screen. please 
prepare your pdf-file with an aspect ratio of 3:4 (h:w) to use most 
beamers correctly. The 1/3 I noticed on a few files as well. Maybe it 
has something to do with the bounding box of thos pdf-files themselves. 
If you could send me one of those files....

I do position the pdf within my window so somebug could be there.

OK This is driving me made. I'll bet its something simple but I can't see it.

I have a little file:

-----------
%&latex
%
\documentclass{article}


\usepackage[dvips,%
paperwidth= 115mm,%
paperheight=77mm,%
left=0.5cm,%
top=0.25cm,%
right=0.5cm,%
bottom=0.25cm,%
noheadfoot,%
verbose=true]
{geometry}



\begin{document}

Test

\end{document}
---------

I run it in TeXShop (or from the command line with altpdflatex) on my
desktop and my laptop and get different results.

On my laptop I get a small page with Test written the right way
and on my desktop a large page with Test written sideways. The  logs are

---------------------------------------------

Given the differing output its no suprise that Desktop has an error 5 
lines from the bottom that Laptop doesn't. (marked
by be <***********)

Whats driving me mad is that after reinstalling different versions of 
teTeX on both machines and
even erasing the Desktop /usr/local/teTeX by hand to make real sure 
its gone I cannot make the Laptop
have the error or stop the Desktop having the error!

What should I be looking for ?  On Gerben's pages there is mention of 
config.ps being in Mac line endings
causing problems. I looked for another config.ps but can't find one 
that teTeX could find. There are some in
OxTeX and other places.

Any thoughts. I bet I solve this 30 seconds after I post... Oh well.


Thanks - Michael

This has been a sore spot in TeX for a very long time. The \cal font is
useless, and the eucal stuff is not much better. True math script
letters are provided by Ralph Smith's rsfs fonts that are a
quasi-standard. The calrsfs and mathrsfs styles provide two slightly
different ways to use them. All this is usually contained in teTeX. I have

Hi G?rard !

try to create a ~/Library/init/tcsh/ directory and  put in it a file
named rc.mine and containing

setenv PATH "${PATH}:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current"

Perhaps you have to add also tour gs path.

Subject: [OS X TeX] metapost + context
Message-ID: <8AB7F07B-4B6C-11D6-8DF7-0003931DE38A@skidmore.edu>



Greetings- sorry to folks on both the ConTeXt and OS X TeX list for the 
repetition.

Recently, I did a nice clean install of teTeX via the i-Installer 
mechanism. Now, I'm trying to build one of my presentations via 
ConTeXt's presentation mechanism. ConTeXt generates the metapost files 
just fine. I can get them to metapost by doing mpost -mem=metafun xxx.mp

However, when TeX shop / texexec tries to metapost them mpost crashes w/ 
an address violation (I have crash logging on in Console.app)

This is strange, it will metapost fine manually, but not from within 
tetex. I checked the shell_escape variable in texmf.cfg (there are two, 
one in web2c and another in the highest level), set them to 't' (both to 
be sure).

Anyone with any ideas here?

Subject: [OS X TeX] Very minor upgrade
Message-ID: <32793602-478F-11D6-938A-0003930AD8A4@rna.nl>



TeX-thin.dmg and TeX-fat.dmg were upgraded. TeX and ghostscript inside 
were not upgraded, but i-Installer.app, the delivery mechanism was. The 
following fixes were made:

- Location of progress bars could be wrong when window was resized.
- When a download was aborted irregularly (i.e. by quitting the app), 
what was donwnloaded of the file was seen as the complete file
- When hitting a button (say inspect) that needed a download while 
another download was in progress (say archive) things would not be 
resolved smoothly. There is only one download at a time supported. This 
will probably change in the future, but for the time being I have made 
sarting another download abort/replace the current one.

The i-Package for i-Installer has changed, but installing this will not 
upgrade existing dedicated i-Installers, like the one for TeX. Since 
TeX-thin.dmg and TeX-fat.dmg contain the app, they were upgraded. The 
i-Packages for TeX and ghostscript have not changed.

Does your (La)TeX source have the rebindings:

\let\xyWARMprocess\xyWARMprocessMo
\let\WARMprocessEPS\WARMprocessMoEPS

Otherwise, you are trying to match an earlier version of
the .bb file syntax.


Hope this helps,

Not exactly

if you send a mac tex file to another platform, either with 8bitsdefs, 
option_key or inputenc, it will compile fine, but you will not be able 
to edit correctly the file except if the text editor is mac friendly 
(accented chars will be wrong).

If you change the option in inputenc (applemac -> latin1 for example) 
and send the file to the other platform, you will not be able to compile 
the file nor edit it correctly unless you have changed the encoding and 
probably the line endings too.

For including jpeg or pdf figures you must use pdfTeX, I think. But, if 
I understood previous discussion on this list well, it's also possible 
to use XY-pic with pdfTeX, thanks to WARMreader; see:

http://www-texdev.ics.mq.edu.au/WARM

(I've never used either XY-pic or WARMreader so far, so this is possibly 
wrong.)

Oops, I didn't check carefully enough before writing it worked for me.
Here's what works:
\pdfannot width 320pt height 79pt depth 79 pt%
{/Subtype /Movie%
/Title (Vorticity)%
/Movie << /F (re3900-persp-2.avi) /Poster true >>%
/A << /Mode /Repeat >>}

>\pdfannot{

>   /T (Movie Titile)
>   /Movie <</F (movie.mpg) /Aspect [400 300]>>
>   /A << /ShowControls true >>
>   /ANN pdfmark}
>

The frame dimensions must be supplied externally, where 
height=depth=image height/2, so, for the case of your example width 
400pt height 150pt depth 150pt.
/Showcontrols is optional, as well as /Poster true
I find this latter option useful, it displays the first frame of the 
movie as a still image and you just click on it to start the movie.

Note: in my case, I wrapped the \pdfannot command inside a picture 
environment. I found it easier to adjust the movie positioning.

   I've been involved with STIX and know that there could
be confusion.  I'm not a spokesman and don't have further details to
relate but the basic situation is:  STIX will be a different set from
ESSTIX.

   When there is public information I'll post a link here.  Seems
like it might be a good idea to make clear the ESSTIX/STIX relationship.

   Agreed, but this paragraph hints at why I sent my email.  That is,
no one should think that using ESSTIX is using a subset of the
STIX fonts.  This will matter for probably a small fraction of
people, but it could matter.

   I agree with this too!   ESSTIX was an Elsevier effort
and so credit to them for that.  My only point was that ESSTIX
shouldn't be thought of as STIX fonts.  I hope people did not
think I was knocking Elsevier or ESSTIX, or you for passing along
the only info available on ESSTIX.

For those OzTeX users who can't or don't want to rebuild their desktop(s)
>from OS 9, there is another almost-as-good solution.  Add some lines like
these to your Local config file's OzTeX-only section:

extra_tools = $c "unix,quiet open -a 'BBEdit 6.5' %f,BBEdit,tex"
command_keys = $c Edit,Ed Tools,BBEdit,e

The extra_tools line assumes the name of the BBEdit app is "BBEdit 6.5"
so you'll probably have to change that (maybe even supply the full path).
If it doesn't work then remove "quiet " to see the error message.

The command_keys line removes cmd-E from the Edit menu and assigns
it to the new BBEdit item in the Tools menu.

The only disadvantage of this solution is that it isn't used if you
type "e" in response to a TeX error.

Message-ID: <F43EB183-539E-11D6-A6BB-0003935489B8@philosophy.usyd.edu.au>



I am trying to load Agaramond so that it works with GW's TeX 
distribution. I've successfully loaded it into CMacTeX and it works 
fine---mainly because Tom Kiffe helpfully supplied the pad.map file 
adapted for his system.

But with teTeX I have a problem. I have loaded the vf files, the type I 
.pfb files, the .sty files, and the tfm files into the right places, but 
I need to change the pdf.cfg and add the pad.map file. (All of which is 
transparent under CMacTeX because you edit these files directly from 
within CMacTeX.) Can someone tell me how to

1) edit pdf.cfg (and maybe also config.ps)
2) where to add pad.map---in particular, so that future updates to teTeX 
don't wash it away.

I'd be happier not having to do these things from Terminal---but if it 
must be, then it must be.

Thanks in advance for any help

I use pdfslide with success (should be available on CTAN at 
http://www.ctan.org/).  You can easily include backgrounds and a 
(unusually shaped) logo in the upper right.  I believe to change the 
background on the title slide you need to change  line 121(?)
	\def\@overlay{???.???}% fishhaze4.jpg
in the pdfslide.sty file.  To change the logo picture you have to edit 
lines 166-167 (?)
        \includegraphics[width=.5\panelwidth,height=1in]{???.???}\else
        \includegraphics[width=.5\panelwidth,height=1in]{???.???}\fi\\
  in the file pdfslide.sty.

Good luck.

Message-ID: <6C18A366-4C96-11D6-8CA2-0003938BDC62@gamma2.uta.edu>



Wednesday, 10 April 2002



Gerben,

I had a couple questions for you about the i-installer program.  This 
morning after reading your announcement of the updates to the TeX 
programs, I went ahead and launched i-installer.  However, neither TeX 
Programs, TeX Foundation, nor GS 6 needed updating according to the 
installer.

Also, I was wondering about gs7.  I manually removed gs6 and installed 
gs7 via i-installer and the url  you provided a few days ago.  However, 
when I go to run my i-installer, that particular package doesn't show up 
again with the main three.  This is somewhat unfortunate, because I'm 
not good at remembering urls and copying and pasting these urls into the 
Open URL field of i-installer doesn't work.  You are required to type 
the entire thing out, for i-installer to recognize the url.  It would be 
nice if there were a way to have the gs7 package start-up with the other 
three packages.

Finally, I did check to see if the  basic i-installer package last 
night, and it said it needed updating.  Additionally, gs7 needed 
updating this morning.

Thanks,

William,
	Thanks for the helpful suggestion of using WARMReader. I can see 
how we might use this in some settings, particularly those where we need 
to preserve a relationship between font size in the graphics and font 
size in the text, despite resizing of graphics (e.g. to make slides from 
a paper).
	However, it doesn't really help my son's situation, because he 
wants Illustrator to generate the final document for his Science Fair 
trifolds. He doesn't get them back into LaTex, so he can't get the 
labels into them that way.
	Right now, he is either doing the equations in Textures and pasting 
into Illustrator X or having to borrow my machine to do it with TexShop. 
His machine doesn't do this properly and he hasn't got time to debug the 
configuration of his machine before the Science Fair. In the long run, 
though, we'd like a reliable way of doing this conveniently, which most 
of the time would be to use Illustrator and TexShop (even if this has to 
be set to use Ghostscript).
--cheers, Gordon Sick

This is weird.

Anyway, do you have anything in ~/Library/texmf on either machine? The 
mentioning of not being able to find paper size points to differences in 
config.ps being used on either machine.

Try

	kpsewhich -format='dvips config' config.ps

to find out which config.ps is actually being used.

/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current is indeed in the PATH.
and running pdflatex from the terminal window works without problem.
And I understand that the launching of the pdflatex executable by the 
"pdfLaTeX" item in the Emacs "Command" popup menu is specified by the 
instruction
(list "pdfLaTeX" "pdflatex '\\nonstopmode\\input{%t}'" 'TeX-run-LaTeX nil t)
in the file Contents/MacOS/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.el, right?

So, I get back to my original question: what's wrong?

By the way, here is the error message I get at startup:
An error has occurred while loading `/Users/grarddeg/.emacs':

Wrong type argument: symbolp, (ascii mac-roman-lower mac-roman-upper)

Correction to my previous posting. Unchecking the box "Shrink oversize 
pages to paper size" does work. I don't know what I did wrong before.

An A4 page gets inset and reduced otherwise, even if your output paper 
size is A4.

How did you put the dots there?
Are they really dots --- a filled circle, say
or are they a font-character 
  --- e.g. a 'bullet': Option-8 on a Mac keyboard,
           for a Mac-encoded font.

I can certainly understand a PC not being able to render the bullet;
but if it's a filled circle, then there shouldn't be a problem.

Hmm; sounds like you've used a font character, and it's a font problem.
Please confirm.
Better still, provide a URL so the PDF can be downloaded.

It is very nice little package that allows one to label pictures in LaTeX.
We use it with Adobe Illustrator and the MarkedObjects plug-in for
Illustrator. The nice thing about it is that it does not depend on
Illustrator recognizing TeX fonts since the labels are placed on the image
after Illustrator is done messing with the image.

Francesco Costanzo and I have created an AppleScript Studio application that
speeds up the process and also makes it so that you end up with figures that
are portable (i.e., you end up with an .eps figure and a .pdf figure of your
labeled image that can be included in latex or pdflatex, respectively). For
us, the process basically consists of:

[1] Draw your figure in Illustrator (or import it from Mathematica, Matlab,
etc.).

[2] Label it using the MarkedObjects Illustrator plug-in.

[3] Drop the resulting Illustrator .eps file onto our app. This will create
a .tex file that you then typeset using LaTeX (we use TeXShop). Tell TeXShop
to save the .ps file in its prefs.

[4] Drop the .ps file onto our app and you will end up with the final
labeled .eps and .pdf files.

We have a tutorial we have written describing this process if anyone is
interested. Keep in mind that it was written for our students, so it is not
meant to be a complete tutorial with every detail.

It is very easy and the results have been fantastic.

Best regards,

Sorry to bother you again with this, just two quick points:

- My explanations were somehow messed up. I meant that when a LaTeX 
input file is written with accents, using 
\usepackage[applemac]{inputenc}, and sent afterwards to another 
platform, then provided the transfer (FTP) has properly been done, with 
accented characters moved to the appropriate 8-bit slots for the new 
system (I think Fetch does this automatically, for example, though I'm 
not absolutely sure), the input file should compile seamlessly on the 
new system, provided "applemac" is replaced by the appropriate value.

- I'm trying again to send option_keys, this time setting explicitly 
"Occidental (Mac Mail)" as the text encoding. If that doesn't work, 
please forget about the whole story.

Hopefully all this will become unnecessary in a simpler world where 
Unicode has become a universal standard and Omega (or some similar 
concept) the new standard TeX.

%%%%  Beginning of option_keys  %%%%

\ifx\optionkeymacros\undefined\else\endinput\fi
% This document is in the Public Domain.
% It was created by Doug Henderson, Blue Sky Research,
% with modifications suggested by Joseph C. V?rilly.
% Added single quotes on 6-4-93.
%
% option_keys - 6-4-93 (last modification)
%
% This macro set defines characters found in the Apple Macintosh
% Monaco font. They allow users to simply type the keystroke
% equivalent of the character desired, such as ?, and have Textures?
% typeset it correctly, substituting the TeX macro equivalent
% for the character.
%
% The reason for the creation of this macro set was to take
% advantage of Knuth's new TeX 3.0 capabilities with 8-bit character
% sets. This functionality has been included in our Textures? as
% of version 1.3. By typing in nearly any character from the
% Macintosh keyboard, you can typeset with the characters directly
% rather than needing to define macros for these diacritic characters.
% Remember: these just expand single characters. They may not be
% defined in every context or mode.
%
% There are two sections to the macros; the first contains
% characters which can be rendered by depressing the option key
% and another key or shift and option keys with another key,
% and secondly, a combination of various keystrokes together
% to obtain the desired character. For example,
% to create the ? character, you depress the option and o character
% at the same time; to create the uppercase version of ?, you
% hold the shift, option key, and o key down, and to create the
% ? character, you first depress the option and n characters,
% then next the shift and n characters. The option and n create
% the tilde character, and the shift n produce the N character.
%
% Math symbols and math operators need special attention.
% When typing in math symbols the same
% rules apply for math mode as before, namely, you must place dollar
% signs or double-dollar signs around these symbols. When typing
% in math operators, such as the square root symbol, TeX expects
% you to supply an argument following it. For example, if you
% would like to take advantage of the definition here for the
% plus-minus sign, ?, and would like to type it directly for use
% in your text, you need to make sure you are in math mode when
% you call for the character, or simply place dollar signs around
% it to print only the plus minus sign thusly, $?$. Similarly,
% you also need to be in math mode when asking for the square root
% symbol, ?, and additionally supply an argument to it.
% The following example shows how to use both the plus-minus sign
% and the square root sign in an equation that has been simplified
% for you via these macro definitions.

Isn't that because it isn't clear this way where the verticals should 
go? If I fill three positions with e.g. "center" indications (for 
example as in: {c|c|c}, or as in: {||ccc} ), the verticals are 
positioned unambiguously and LaTeX does not complain.
Or is this trivial and is your question about something much more arcane?

From franconi at cs.man.ac.uk  Tue Apr  9 11:10:00 2002

Subject: [OS X TeX] [ANN] New release of LaTeX enhanced mac-emacs
Message-ID: <15539.1097.2098.307278@gramsci.cs.man.ac.uk>



I've just uploaded the new release 1.4 of the LeTeX enhanced
mac-emacs.  It is now more seriously packaged, and it is more
integrated with both tetex and emacs applications (like MacDvi,
MacGhostView, Acrobat Reader, TexShop, OzTeX, etc). You can see it as
a complete front-end to tetex.

CHANGES since 1.3
- New versions of latex packages
- New installer
- Added documentation
- Reconfigured LaTeX menus
- Universal version of site-lisp files
- Emacs bundle can be launched alone
- Added the srcltx option to work with MacDviX (click-and-go)
- Hopefully more robust to find tetex and gs binaries

If you downloaded any previous version you are invited to download
this new version.  

Get it from   http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~franconi/mac-emacs/

This mac-emacs is based on the carbon mac-emacs-21.1 distribution (for
MacOSX) (mac-emacs.sourceforge.net), enhanced with fully customisable
LaTeX editing environment based on AucTeX, RefTeX and other packages.
There is no need to have X11 installed.  From mac-emacs, you can
launch directly any latex process or any mac application (like MacDvi,
MacGhostView, Acrobat Reader, TexShop, OzTeX, etc) on files or regions
you are working on. LaTeX menus are fully customisable.

NOTES:
- The mac-emacs application can be double-clicked and accepts files
  drag-and-dropped onto it; the Emacs bundle does not accept
  drag-and-dropped files.
- The mac-emacs application can be moved anywhere; the Emacs bundle
  can not be moved from the /Applications folder.
- No X11 is required.
- mac-emacs requires a working installation of teTeX and ghostview.
- mac-emacs loads automatically the file ~/.mac-emacs if it exists.
  An example .mac-emacs file (mirroring the default values) can be
  found in the doc/ folder as dot-mac-emacs. You can fully customise
  the Command menu and the launched applications. You can select the
  preview method from the Prefs menu.
- By latexing with the srcltx option checked from the Prefs menu, and
  previewing with MacDviX (or other srcltx aware previewers), the
  previewer can automatically invoke mac-emacs at the clicked position
  (click-and-go).
- To have full multi-lingual latex-aware spelling checking
  capabilities, just install "ispell" from fink. By now, fink provides
  automatic installation of American, British, French, Italian and
  German dictionaries; other languages should be installed by hand.
- The creator code of the mac-emacs application is EMAy. It is
  possible to set any .tex or .bib to open automatically (by
  double-clicking) in mac-emacs by selecting the mac-emacs application
  from the 'Open with application' menu of the finder Info of any
  .tex/.bib file, and then "Change all'.

- BUGS (from the original Emacs distribution): this port of Emacs does
  not support 3 buttons mice; customisation browsing still does not
  work; ange-ftp does not work always.
- It is still possible to use the middle button of a mouse as the
  paste button with USB Overdrive, by creating a new set for the Emacs
  bundle (not the mac-emacs application) and assigning to the middle
  button the 'control-y' keystroke.

- ADVANCED USERS: the site-lisp directory contains all the files
  necessary to recreate a LaTeX enhanced emacs; it has been
  successfully tested with emacs 20.7, 21.1, 21.2 on both Darwin (with
  X11 or Carbon) and Linux (with X11) boxes. I usually maintain a
  unique site-lisp directory in /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp and
  then I link the site-lisp directories of the various emacs to it. In
  the file site-load-core.el you can find also instruction to create a
  dumped image with most of the packages preloaded.

MacOSX's PDF generation is not so great ... Give texexec a try [read the

In Windows 2000, you can create a Postscript output printer which will 
print to a file.

I don't think you can dump and add custom formats to TeXShop (this is 
something I tried to achieve too, also to use a publisher-defined 
format, without success). Maybe it's possible to use teTeX's binaries 
instead, through the command-line interface, but then it requires some 
familiarity - which I don't have - with TeX on such interfaces.

However, still in Mac OS X, OzTeX allows you to use custom formats, as 
do - but then I'm not absolutely sure - CMacTeX and iTeXMac; or, if you 
don't mind firing up Classic, Textures.

Hi,

If there is no reason for the opposite, I suggest that .aux files can be
opened by TeXShop, and that BibTeX is the (only) program to be selected in
this case. The necessity of this feature may of course be debated, but
there is at least one package (footbib) which generates a non-standard .aux
file (.fb.aux). Since files other than .aux are not recognized by TeXShop,
this artifact forces me to open a terminal window and run BibTeX manually
>from the prompt. It is, after all, slightly misleading to run BibTeX on a
.tex file, but I'm not sure the TeXShop community will accept to open an
.aux file every time they want to run BibTeX (allthough I think this would
be a more logical operation).

Tore.

Subject: new OzTeX CD
Message-ID: <f04310100b8ec14f7aac8@[202.45.99.185]>



The new OzTeX CD is now ready to ship.  People who pre-ordered the CD
should get it some time next week (please contact me if it hasn't arrived
within 2 weeks of this announcement).

The CD contains over 600MB of TeX-related material for Mac users.
Here's a summary of the contents:

   - OzTeX 5.0 (of course!) all unpacked and ready to run.
   - Loads of extra fonts and macro packages.
   - Other TeX implementations: TeXShop, iTeXMac, TeXShell, etc.
   - Gerben Wierda's teTeX/Ghostscript installer (the "fat" version
     so that nothing needs to be downloaded).
   - Fink, plus a set of TeX-related packages (latex2html, detex, etc)
     put together by Dave Morrison.
   - Lots of other TeX-related freeware and shareware.  A complete list
     is available here: http://www.trevorrow.com/oztex/cdsoftware.html

Thanks again to the people who gave permission to include their software;
your free CD will also arrive soon!

The price of the CD, including shipping and handling, is:

   $20 for registered users;
   $40 for everybody else (which includes the OzTeX shareware fee).

Note that I've changed my policy on who is eligible for the discount price.
It now includes all members of all registered groups.  Please visit
http://www.trevorrow.com/oztex/ozgroups.html to see if your company or
university is listed.  Note that all members of TUG, UK-TUG, DANTE and
GUTenberg are registered users.

TeXShop in Pdftex mode displays letters with accents  \`a \'n correctly
but printing is messed up. I switched to TeX - Ghostscript
and printed the ps file. Everything was as it supposed to be.
Is this a limitation of Pdftex, TeXShop, OS X, or what?

Yes, and it works from terminal.

But, from mac emacs, without setting the path in a rc.mine the path is not
seen... 

I admit my advice may not be the best, but I never find anything else to get
mac emacs to work...

Hi

I have discovered my problem. I didn't have 5.05 on either of my machines.
I was sure I did.  I have found that option now. Is there a way of making it

Hi

The same thing should work in OSX.

In the terminal type

which ps2pdf

where ps2pdf

If the computer can't find them but they are installed there
is something wrong with your paths.

In mine I get

computer[user]% which ps2pdf
/sw/bin/ps2pdf
computer[user]% where ps2pdf
/sw/bin/ps2pdf
/usr/local/bin/ps2pdf
computer[user]%

If you don't want to use the command line then drag and
drop onto the copy of ps2pdf that comes with MacGhostView

Yes that sounds interesting.

I read _very_ rapidly the description on WARMreader's web page and came 
out with the impression that labeling Mathematica graphics was not 
straightforward. So I decided I would try that when I have time 
available for experimenting -- which is close to never.

Your mail seems to say this is all straightforward indeed, so yes it's 
very interesting.

For me (french) it was always OK, with preview or Acrobat 5, but I think 
it depends heavily on package used.


Here are my only two \usepackage

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[french]{babel}


But I have to say that prior to installing CM-super, I had to add

\usepackage{ae}

I use iTeXMac which is very nice with input encoding.
Now, with iTeXMac, my default  input encoding is Latin1, and accentued 
letters are typed directly as in any other application.  Doing so my 
input file is UNIX compatible (but display badly on BBedit for instance).
Would I like to be more Mac than Unix, iTeXMac let me reverse to Mac 
encoding, but  TeX has to be noticed of that by

\usepackage[applemac]{inputenc}

I'm happy with cm-super for producing french text using GW's pdflatex.

However I notice a strange behavior, when a new font happens to be used: 
metafont is launched to build  .gf and .pk fonts, which seem not to be 
used. Perhaps a lack of .tfm files ? This arrived with very common font 
(trigerred by \texttt and \textsc )

Subject: [OS X TeX] Preview LaTeX from within the emacs window!
Message-ID: <15539.7772.788385.408503@gramsci.cs.man.ac.uk>



This is a cool feature that you get for free from the latest release
of mac-emacs (http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~franconi/mac-emacs/). This does
not work directly with mac-emacs, but rather you need to install
emacs21 from fink. You need to have X11.

a) Install mac-emacs
b) Install emacs21 from fink ("fink install emacs21")
c) link /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp to 
   /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/share/emacs/site-lisp
d) launch emacs from a shell on a latex file
e) you will find the same menus you had in mac-emacs plus an
   additional "preview" entry; select it and voila' the latex formulas
   and graphics macros *in your emacs buffer* are transformed
   automagically into pictures! Documentation of the preview-latex
   package is included.
f) note that the preview-latex package is still in beta release and it
   is not always perfect...
g) I can provide you with a mac application which accepts
   drag-and-drop files and lauches the X11 emacs without ever opening
   a shell again.
h) Preview-latex does NOT work yet with current mac-emacs since the
   carbon port still does not show figures from within
   emacs. Hopefully the next release from sourceforge will solve this
   problem.

Hi,

I have just received a pdf with math in it.

Using Preview with OS X 10.1.3 most of the math looks like garbage.  Using
acrobat reader 5.0 with OS X also gives garbage.  Simple symbols like the
summation are non-existant or look wacky.

The strange thing is that if I put this pdf on the dept. server, running
XDarwin to open the pdf with acroread then it looks perfect.  No problems in
this case.

It does not seem to be a font problem because there are no non-standard
fonts.

Unfortunately, I have no knowledge of how the pdf was generated except that
it was definitely not generated on a Mac.

Could anyone offer an idea about the nature of my problem?

Bob Strain

Major new version:

BibDesk 0.7b is now available at 
http://www.cs.ucsd.edu/~mmccrack/bibdesk.html

There are a host of new features since 0.61b:

* compatibility features:
	- handles many (not all) 8-bit characters now
		- by handles, I mean:
		  reads {\"u} and displays ? (<- has umlaut) then saves back 
to {\"u} again.
	- won't break cross-refs
	- doesn't choke on " " in strings (entries now delimited using braces)
	- newlines in annote and abstract are handled appropriately
	- others I'm probably forgetting
* GUI rework
	- less wasted space, might be faster
	- more natural document-style behavior
* Major improvement in citation service
	- now specify constraints on search for service, not just title:
	 (e.g. author = A & year = 2002)
* more flexible handling of fields per publication & globally

Some awfully desirable features are still missing, notably the preview 
window is still annoyingly un-zoomable. Sometimes you just can't do it 
all...

As usual, there is plenty more info in the Readme file, a new FAQ file, 
and the Release notes.

And of course, even though it hasn't killed my data yet, I'd advise you 
to keep regular backups of your data, and save often! This is still beta 
software.

After all, if you're writing a thesis, shouldn't you consider using CVS 
(http://www.cvshome.org/) to store your files? :-)

This looks very interesting and your installation instructions are

Regarding the esstix font. Where exactly does one install all the files
associated with this font? What command do I use to access the blackboard
fonts -- is it the same command as is used in AMS-LaTeX, i.e., \mathbb?
Since it looks like the esstix font might act as a complete replacement for
the additional fonts in AMS-LaTeX, can we simply load AMS-LaTeX via (without
the amssymb package), as in:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{mbtimes}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{bm}
\usepackage{exscale}
\usepackage[mathscr]{eucal}

If not, how do I access all these other esstix fonts?

Thank you,

Subject: Re: More on Illustrator 10 Font Problems with TeXShop / TeTex
From: <hills_tex at tina.stanford.edu>
Date: Sun, 31 Mar 2002 20:20:02 -0800

Hi Gordon,
  I think the problem is a how Illustrator 10 handles fonts and PDF import/
export.  (Freehand 10 wasn't much better for reading the PDFs, by the way.)

Secondly, when you ran "Tex and ghostscript", you were probably embedding a
bitmapped font in your PDF (so it renders the correct symbol, but ugly).

The only way that I've found to work is to keep everything in postscript up
until you produce your final document:

  i.e., if you want to set an equation and then load it into illustrator:

    1) Create a postscript file with type 1 fonts:
         latex test.tex
         dvips -z -P www test
    2) edit the file in Illustrator as postscript
         (the fonts seemed fine here)
    3) save out as postscript, and load back in to latex that way...

  I would only output a PDF for final printing:
    1) create a postscript file with type 1 fonts
         (as above)
    2) distiller
         (probably other options here)

A couple of notes:

  DVIPS -z -P www  This reads in the file "config.www" which, by default,
           ^^^^^^  calls the "bsr.map" and "bsr-interpolate.map" files
                   to enable the type-1 encoding.  you could just as easily
                   make up your own config file, or you can create the file
                   ".dvipsrc" in your home directory with the line:
                   "p +bsr.map"  (without the quotes)

  Illustrator      Exporting from Illustrator is also a problem.  Even 
  & PDFs           when the file is read in as postscript and the fonts are
                   fine, saving it out as a PDF file causes problems.
                  (it won't print correctly from acrobat; in fact, it
                   made a font substitution on me: it changed the CMSY10 "-"
                   to something in the Symbol font)

  PDFs & TeX       This really seems to be a promising route, and the TeXShop
                   application is pretty nice.  I'm a bit discouraged
                   by problems like this with the fonts (not that PS is
                   lots better--I'd love to be proved wrong and learn of
                   a font 'solution'), and what I'd really like is to be
                   able to include EPS graphics directly -- sort of a one-stop
                   TeX distiller!

  Illustration     As a sidenote, I had a lot of problem getting 
  Apps             Illustrator 10 EPS files to read into InDesign 2, and
                   switched to PDF-based exports there; I think using older

                   gladly abandon illustrator if I could find another program 
                   that dealt with postscript files well! (Acrobat=>PDF=>
                   Freehand is tempting, but the latter is a shade unstable, 
                   and the earlier versions that I use for most of my 
                   illustration work don't import as robustly))

Only ESSTIX14 is installed (I make a tfm file with fontinst). The other
esstix fonts are not usable with mbtimes. I put esstix archive in my package
only because I was not sure to be allowed to distribute only esstix14...


> What command do I use to access the blackboard

Yes. See in mbtimes.sty \mathbb is redefined \AtBeginDocument. I think that
esstix mathbb suits best with times than amssymb mathbb. In future release,
it shoulb be an option anyway (e.g. \usepackage[essbb]{mbtimes})

mbtimes provides only what provides stantard cm, but with a look wich suits
the times design (I hope...) : essentially more weight, but some sumbols
(calligraphics, sommation, and generally big operators) were totally
redesigned.

It alos provides a \mathbb command, and (for compatibility with amsmath)
\lvert, \rvert, \lVert, \rVert.

I think you can do it but exscale for instance is not usefull because it
extend the cm family and mbtimes switch to another family.

In fact you may use any font package, provided it don't switch back to cm...
You can even use the amssymb package, I think. Of course it should be best
to redesign all glyphs of amssymb (or use esstix) but it should be a big
work.

> If not, how do I access all these other esstix fonts?

Unless you make tfm, vf, encoding vectors, latex interface... you can't, I
am afraid...

Will do.  I already have a warning about teTeX's makeindex requiring
Unix line endings, so I'll add texconfig to the list.

There really is no need for OzTeX users to be putting OzTeX-supplied
files into the teTeX trees so I'll also point out the potential
dangers in my docs.

From: "Bruno Voisin" <Bruno.Voisin at hmg.inpg.fr>

The esstix fonts from Elsevier look great, in particular they have all 
these devious integral signs like principal value which would make my 
life easier (not having to recreate it from $\int$ and $-$ every time I 
write a paper and change fonts).

Is anybody aware of a plain TeX macro file or LaTeX package for using 
them ? Though these fonts live in the LaTeX area of Elsevier's public 
ftp server, I could see nothing LaTeX about them.

Hmmm...
If you look at the property list of the tfm of an ex tex font (like cmex),
you will find something like

for integral text:
(CHARACTER O 122
   (CHARWD R 0.472223)
   (CHARDP R 1.111122)
   (CHARIC R 0.194446)
   (NEXTLARGER O 132)
   )
for integral display:
(CHARACTER O 132
   (CHARWD R 0.555557)
   (CHARDP R 2.222246)
   (CHARIC R 0.444446)
   )

And now look at esstix afm file: this font claims to be AdobeStandard
encoded (!), and of course, most of the information that you need to make a
tfm font is not actually present. So it is not impossible to make a tex
system with esstix, but it should be a lot of work for the ex font.
Moreover, I am not quite sure one should be allowed to convert these fonts
in a mac format.

This is caused by Apple's backwards-compatibility with Mac bitmap screen 
fonts. If the fonts aren't all in one suitcase, putting them there will 
trim the entries somewhat.

NeXTstep does properly categorize the fonts by way of the font family name 
provided within the font, and make them available as styles of ``Computer 
Modern'', but unfortunately, since nifty .font bundle support was lost, 
the .pkg of said fonts at ftp.peak.org/pub/next doesn't work in Mac OS X.

There's an extension for Mac OS <9 which'll hide away the fonts, but then 
one can't readily make use of them.

I suspect the ``Super Computer Modern'' font set would work better as does 
the spiffy QuickDraw/GX enable TrueType version which is a part of TeX/GX 
available from www.sil.org, but haven't had a chance to investigate these.
  One can use the ``Favorites'' collection feature of the font panel to 
whittle this sort of thing down to a manageable set though.
