You're right though: Preview doesn't show anything in that case either.

Hi Adam, I was willing to check the UTIs claimed by the included SpotLight importer "/Applications/TCOBrowser.app/Contents/Library/Spotlight/ TCOImporter.mdimporter", to make sure they didn't conflict with the other importers for the .ps, .pdf and .dvi files: "/System/Library/Spotlight/PS.mdimporter", (from Apple) "/Library/Spotlight/DVIImporter.mdimporter", (from you) "/System/Library/Spotlight/PDF.mdimporter", (from Apple) But I couldn't remember the command, if any, for returning the UTIs claimed by a given importer. I looked through the Xcode Reference Library with no luck. The world seems in order, though, as TCOBrowser doesn't seem to interfere with these other importers: legimc11:~ brunovoisin$ mdimport -d1 -f /usr/local/teTeX/share/ texmf.tetex/doc/latex/base/fntguide.dvi 2005-07-01 09:39:09.953 mdimport[636] Import '/usr/local/teTeX/share/ texmf.tetex/doc/latex/base/fntguide.dvi' type 'com.mac.amaxwell.dvi' using 'file://localhost/Library/Spotlight/DVIImporter.mdimporter/' 2005-07-01 09:39:09.959 mdimport[636] At 2005-07-01 09:39:09 +0200 dviFilePath is /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/doc/latex/base/ fntguide.dvi Does this mean TCOImporter references only the local TCOBrowser cache, not the original .ps, .pdf and .dvi files.

Correct. I create a cache in ~/Library/Caches/Metadata, and Spotlight searches those files using the bundled importer. Hence, each catalogue entry can show up in Spotlight as its own file, and TCOBrowser can jump to it immediately. At least, it works for me ;). > > Only minor frown at the program: its name, as TCO has annoying Evil > Empire resonances (ie the Total Cost of Ownership debate). Seems > immensely useful otherwise.

You don't actually *need* Illustrator to use WarmReader. What you need is a way to create suitable .bb files. A plug-in for Illustrator (called 'Marked Objects') is one way to do this. With a little bit of effort you can use any piece of software that lets you estimate the coordinates of a point within a graphic image. Indeed, it is sufficient to just estimate "by eye" and record this information by hand in a file. Having spent some money on Illustrator just makes this task easier, and more Mac-like.

The download URL is : http://ktd.club.fr/programmation/fichiers/ LaTeXiT-beta.dmg LaTeXiT is a tool similar to LaTeX Equation Editor, in the sense that it allows to quickly typeset a latex equation and drag'n drop it in another application. Its main feature that make it useful are: -a smart error manager -automatic history -a library to store the equation you use very often -LaTeXiT can be called as an application service to transform text into an image of the equation -LinkBack support (an equation dropped from LaTeXiT in an application supporting LinkBack can be reopen and modified; see the readme for more info) -now open source software (source code will be available with the final 1.2 version) For those who have already used LaTeXiT, here are the "what's new" v 1.2 - the software is now Tiger only (at least MacOS 10.4.2) ; - ready for Mac-Intel (compiled using UniversalBinary) ; but even if the Intel version should not contain specific bugs, it could not be tested anyway. So it is considered "experimental", and bug reports (for those who own a Mac-Intel) are welcome ; - the software is now under the CeCILL license (open source, GPL compatible) ; - improved speed ; - better LinkBack support (you can now "refresh" an equation dropped into another application) ; - you can now repoen with LaTeXiT a PDF file created by it ; - you can now drop on the Finder items from the history or from the library ; - the export format, by drag'n drop or through the service, is now customizable ; - better application service configurability ; - the LaTeXiT service now tries to align the equation with the surrounding text ; - the LaTeXiT service can now use the same color as the source text ; - you can now update a library item without deleting/recreating it ; - japanese users can now use the " ? " (yen) symbol instead of " \ " (backslash) ; - updated palettes ; - corrected tooltips in the palette ; - the latexization can now be triggered with ?L or ??L (to please TeXShop users) ; - some minor bugs fixed.

Sorry, I should have provided an example to make my request more clear. So for example, lets say I enter an equation in LaTeXiT and add it to the library and name it myequ. My request would then allow me to click and drag the equation icon from the library into TexShop, for example, and get one of the following pasted into my document: \ref{equ:myequ}, \label{equ:myequ}, $equ source$, or \begin{equation}\label{equ:myequ}equ source\end{equation}. The content of pasted text would somewhow be controlled within LaTeXiT. That way, if I am editing a large document I can just open LaTeXiT find an equation I want in my text, and just click and drag it to where is belongs. Also, when I have to refer to it I can just click and drag wherever the references belong. This makes editing a document with hundreds of equations MUCH easier. There was a thread on the OS X TeX mailing list about this, which is where I got the idea. After a certain point it becomes very hard to keep track of all the equations and there labels. Thanks for your time.

The > content of pasted text would somewhow be controlled within LaTeXiT. Ok, I understood, now. I have a solution for you, let's talk about it : My idea is that, if you drag'n drop an equation *from the library*, and drop it in an textfield *that cannot display images* (like a TeXShop document), the data provided by the pasteboard would be the label of the equation. So, this label would appear at the drag destination. Exactly what you want ? But it would work only if you drag from the library, since only library items have a label. The problem is that it will be difficult to make it well-documented. Moreover, this trick will fail if you drop in textfields that support images, since most of the time the image in the pasteboard will be preferred by the receiver. So, there is a solution (not very handy), that is to set a new export-type (in the preferences of the app). In addition to PDF, EPS, TIFF... there would be "string label". (It is even affordable to add a checkbox that would encapsulate this label in a "\ref{...}" My opinion would be to keep the very first solution, since the last one is not very handy in fact. What do you think about that ?

I have a natural aversion to ./configure && make && make install after years of happy Debian use, so hadn't even considered that.

Knowing nothing but basic LaTeX at the time, and in the absence of a better idea, I chose to use a set of scripts that were used to generate the official Python documentation from LaTeX source. As well as pretty PS/PDF output, which was all I was really after, they generate a HTML version using latex2html with very non-standard arguments. They were confused by my document, and the result has numerous broken equations, cross-references, etc. that I didn't worry about at the time. I now worry about them, not least because they confuse a lot of people unlucky enough to be referred to the documentation by Google :-( [Anyone interested can compare the PDF and the HTML . No prizes for spotting errors in either.] -- Mike --------------------- Info --------------------- Mac-TeX Website: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ & FAQ: http://latex.yauh.de/faq/ TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq List Post: From gray at engr.psu.edu Sun Jul 3 00:36:08 2005 From: gray at engr.psu.edu (Gary L.

I am thinking about setting up something like a database for my bibliographic stuff. The bibtex format seems like a not too bad choice since it's very structured, and you can put your own comments into one field. So my fist philosophical question is: does that sound like a feasible idea, is bibtex a good tool for this. However, there's also a couple of mire technical questions: 1. Can you pretty-print/typeset an entire bibtex-database INCLUDING the comments? 2. I constantly print bibliograhpies for certain topics (for the students in my classes). Is there a convenient way to choose the entries froma bibtex file and print them in the form of a bibliography? 3. Is there any hope that bibtex will support utf-8 in the future?

When you type in a new default preamble, the preamble of opened documents is not changed, since it could have been tuned by the user. But if you open a new document (Command-N), the new default preamble will be used. Here is a crosspost with toolbox-talk, because there are some questions for which I would like to get the opinion of as many meople as possible. But if you think that such cross-post is useless, just tell me, I'll understand. > [in the error manager] so if it could be reliably determine what > the offending token is it would be nice to see that as well. For now, I would prefer not to. I prefer to be less precise, but ensure that the error-line is ok, rather than trying to deduce the faulty token, with the risk of getting wrong and give a bad indication. However, since LaTeXiT is open source and will be a toolbox project, if anybody has the knowledge to improve that, this will be no problem I think.

I have an immediate solution, that concerns Herbert's remark too : I could add a control to add some margin to the default bounding box. If you need great precision, it would be a textfield. On the contrary, it would be a slider. But it would need a re-latexisation (nice word). Any thoughts ?

In Tiger Mail the text engine is based on WebKit, not on the standard Text kit. Many services don't work (where they did in previous releases). There is no known solution, as far as I know.

The bibtex .bib format is a complex format, and _not_ easy to parse (outside of bibtex itself). For portability, you're probably better off using an XML-format (although mathematical constructs in titles and other fields become _much_ harder). The Library of Congress has a standard that seems a good choice: http://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/ and there are tools out there that convert various bibliographic formats into one another, using MODS as an intermediate: http:// www.scripps.edu/~cdputnam/software/bibutils/bibutils.html You may also be interested in http://refbase.sourceforge.net/ (never used it myself though). > 1.

It seems bibtex 1.00 will arrive RSN (search the usenet archives on Google to find the post, sometime this last spring).

(My system is 10.3.9). My main file is \documentclass[11pt]{book} \begin{document} \include{chap1} \include{chap2} \end{document} and each included file starts with %!TEX root = main.tex and contains a short text. The file typesets correctly but then: 1. clicking on the first page of chap1 or chpa2 in the PDF takes me to corresponding chap.tex BUT always to the same spot of the source file, regardless of which paragraph I click in the PDF. 2. Clicking at any other page of the PDF takes me to the root file (to the line \include{chap?.tex}) and not to the corresponding source file. 3. Clicking anywhere inside chap1.tex and chap2.tex leads to even more bizarre behavior: a. if both chap1.tex and chap2.tex are open on the screen, source-to-pdf does not work. b. if I hide one (not close) of the two chap?.tex files, then, double-clicking on the source of the other takes to the first page of that chapter on the pdf. c.

Yes, this is what should happen, and it is what actually happens in my experience -- I use crossrefs a lot for the described incollection/ book scenario (without and with BibDesk), and it has always worked fine.

Is there a > compelling reason to keep the digests? From a non-digest user: I think the digests have a use. Every now and then I'm thinking about changing subscription. Filtering rules allow all list messages to be transferred to a mailbox upon reception, right. But it's difficult to resist the temptation to have a look what's there, when the message counter icon displays something like 10, say; and I rarely do (resist). At least with a digest you're sure to not know anything that's happening on the list for a few hours. But that's a functionality that's interesting for people willing only to read the list messages, not post any. I agree that for somebody willing to post, a digest subscription isn't really appropriate. Another suggestion, that could possibly replace digests for some people: it would be nice to have an OS X TeX Announce list, where announcements of new software versions would be posted. In that way people could be aware of what's happening in the OS X TeX world, without necessarily needing to be subscribed to the present OS X TeX list with its high traffic.

Unfortunately, it is also pixelated in Preview when I do this. Interestingly, when I remove the package: \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} by deleting it or commenting it out, the fonts look great.

It's under the LaTeX menu. Also, are you using Tigerrrr? Not that it should make a difference as far as the generated pdf is concerned.

If you take a book entry in which "Title" is entered but "Booktitle" is nonexistent/ empty and then use that entry to create a child record in BibDesk (type: incollection), Title gets copied to Title but Booktitle in the child record remains empty. I think it is not the desired behavior although I understand why it is happening. This does not happen when I start by creating a brand new book parent record in BibDesk because BibDesk automatically copies whatever is in Title down to Booktitle (adding the Booktitle field automatically in the process). Then, the child record is created, both Title and Booktitle get copied to the child fields of the same name. This is better, but I think it would be better still if the Title field in the child record were left blank, since it will nearly always (if not always) be different from Booktitle in this book/incollection scenario. The child's Title field can be still edited, of course, but to change it one must click through a warning dialog saying that a cross-referenced field is about to be changed. I think (may be wrong about this) that older versions of BibDesk did not automatically create a Booktitle field for book entries. It is those older entries in my database that caused me the described trouble when I tried to set up cross-referencing. Those with more experience using cross-references please let me know if I am off base, for I filed a bug report on the BibDesk page. What I think should happen is that the Title field on the child record should not be linked by default to the parent record and that Booktitle on the child record should get filled from Booktitle on the parent record if that field exists there but from Title if it does not. Now, it be really cool if BibDesk automatically started in type "incollection" when you option-click on a book entry and choose the "New Publication with Crossref" option! In any event, I absolutely love BibDesk. Cross-referencing is very slick once I corrected the fields.

It would be nice to be able to resize it since my source for Keynote slides is often more than can fit in the source part of the window.

Why doesn't the list server reject all email with the subject line matching the pattern "Mac OS X TeX Digest" and sending a "Please insert a specific subject" message to the poster? This will not help with the more technical headers that are automatically generated, but still will solve half of the problem Gerben mentions.

If you have problems with "reply" postings from digest readers, you could arrange for these "replies" to go to a different maibox, e.g MacOSX-TeX-Digest at email.esm.psu.edu The mailbox could send back an automatic e-mail which essentially says: This is an authomatic message, do not reply. You should not directly reply to digest messages. To intervene in a thread, send a mail to "MacOSX- TeX at email.esm.psu.edu". If you are starting a new thread the subject is simply he title of the new thread, e.g. "My question on XXX". If you are intervening on an existing thread, e.g. "Existing_Thread" the subject should be "Re: [OS X TeX] Existing_Thread". The gist of this message could be included in the footer of the digest e-mails sent to subscribers. People would learn fast!

From this info, the installation seems correct but this is typically the kind of behaviour you get when the privileges are not OK.

People would learn fast! Apart from typos, this probably will not work now that subject is ignored for threads and it is all "In-Reply-To:" header stuff (at least for Mail.app) But forget about it.

Do you mean the first ls output, reporting libfreetype.6.dylib is present (as a symlink to libfreetype.6.3.7.dylib), was obtained on the G4, not on the G5 on which you're having the problem? If so, the first suggestions, re. installing the FreeType i-Package and repairing permissions, might as well solve the problem on the G5.

But what you can do is this: 1. Install freetype on your G5/Tiger 2. At the end of the install, create a report and mail it to me (off list). I'll see what that tells us. 3. After the install, look at /usr/local/lib I have updated autotrace so it checks for libfreetype6.dylib instead of libfreetype.dylib. Just to be sure.

I thought it would change the text font used in the input text box. I think that changing the input font and the window size should be sticky, like a preference but set the way it's set now. While simply moving the magnification slider no longer gives fuzzy output, clicking on the output window makes the output display fuzzier and then using the magnification slider magnifies the pixelization.

It seems autotrace is looking for an older version of FreeType (judging by the file dates), in which the naming scheme libfreetype6.dylib was used instead of the more recent libfreetype. 6.dylib (with a dot added). The G4 has the two versions, hence autotrace is happy. Why you have these two version on the G4 I don't know: an older FreeType i-Package, or a FreeType of another origin (compiled from source?)? If this analysis is correct, the remedy would be -- I imagine -- an update of the FreeType and autotrace i-Packages, so that they have matching versions (autotrace being updated to a version looking for the current version of FreeType, or FreeType being downgraded to the version that autotrace is looking for). Or is the added dot in the file name an error at compilation time? That said, I prefer personally potrace to autotrace.

I'm running 10.4.1 If I change the font to something really silly (Lucida Bright at 14pt) I don't get any change from the default Helvetica at 12pt in the display although the font does appear to be changed in the font panel. Ahhh... now I see! If I select some text before changing the font it the new font gets selected but if I don't the font remains the same. Maybe that will change when the selection becomes a default.

Earlier this year I traced a JPEG logo to convert it to EPS. After much failed attempts, I used the following route: - Use either GraphicConverter (came free on my Mac), or convert from ImageMagick, to convert the JPEG to black-and-white BMP. I'm not sure which of the two I used eventually. Possibly GraphicConverter, as it provides a GUI for setting the value of the threshold used when converting to B&W -- and seeing live the influence of this value. The choice of the threshold has a crucial effect on the quality of the final EPS file. - Applied both potrace and autotrace to the BMP file independently. Found out the output of potrace is cleaner (less tracing artifacts). I also tried letting potrace and/or autotrace use their own algorithms for converting the original color file to black-and-white before tracing it: the output was much worse than with the manual conversion. That said, it was all before hearing Illustrator CS2 includes a tracing algorithm. Now I probably wouldn't go that route.

Now I probably wouldn't go that route. Hmmm... this thread is in danger of becoming seriously OT -- but I cannot help but reflect that the Adobe tools for autotrace have heretofore been odd in one way or another. Even Streamline was hard to control so that you could predict what sort of output you'd get without wasting hours fiddling with the settings. I tried Silhouette (www.silhouetteonline.com) and found it remarkably capable, though I don't do enough of that sort of thing to justify the cost of US$360.

One or two digests a day are much easier for me to handle than one or two douzains of individual messages. Suppose you're on several lists (most people are; I'm currently on three mac-related lists). Rather than having hundreds of messages piling up in my mailbox - or do nothing but read e-mail as it arrives - I simply take a bit of time every morning to catch up on things. And, yes, I have filters that put my mac-related mail in a separate mailbox; still, I'd rather deal with them in digest form.

Apple's terminal app should do everything you need and > works better with other aqua apps (as far as copying and pasting...). There was a thread "[OS X TeX] X11" on similar topics at the end of May. More or less it seems there's no straightforward solution: - Creating or patching a ~/.xinitrc for every user of a given Mac. But it's not system-wide. - Modifying the system-wide /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc. The problem is that, in case some users have a custom ~/.xinitrc, this system-wide file isn't read for them. - By creating or patching, again for every user of a Mac, a file ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist. This affects all GUI applications launched by a given user and may (or rather will) break some. In particular it has been known to break i-Installer. Unfortunately, all the FAQs I've browsed through, starting from Apple's own , refer to the dreaded environment.plist approach. Other solutions, of course, are: - Use full paths in xterm. - Use open-x11 in Terminal.app, as in "open-x11 xdvi" or simply "open- x11 xterm".

Again, can you add the ability to set the default font so that we don't have to change it every time? One more thing. Now when I typeset (with 1.2rc7), I don't get anything in the PDF preview.

Thank you very much. Your responsiveness to requests is to be admired. Now we need a word processor that uses LinkBack and takes into account baseline information.

Works fine here, though my setup is not necessarily the most interesting for testing purposes: OS X 10.4.1, TL2005. I tried to compile both a pdfLaTeX and a XeLaTeX document. Both went OK. Probably subjective: I have the impression pdfLaTeX is faster (and XeLaTeX possibly slower). Probably subjective as well: it seems the line tracing algorithm might have changed, in that horizontal and vertical lines seem thinner (especially in XeLaTeX).

The last version is from January 2004 and its build (configure) is broken (does not recognize ImageMagick 6.1.7 as being more recent than 5.2.0). I patched it and compiled it and it has been uploaded. Autotrace is now dependent on both Freetype2 and ImageMagick. So, if all is well, it should work now.

My Tcl/Tk skills are much greater than they were a year ago, so I've made a lot of changes to the package: 1. The Applescript launcher is gone. 2. AquaTkbibtex is now a standalone application that supports drag-and-drop launches of .bib files by itself. 3. I've reworked the GUI code extensively to make the general appearance of tkbibtex more in line with Aqua interface conventions. 4. I've added a more intuitive print dialog. The core functionality of the application is unchanged in terms of parsing .bib files. I have a beta version available for download at http://www.wordtech-software.com/AquaTkbibtex.dmg It's been developed and tested on 10.4; should run on 10.3 as well. There isn't another link to it, as I'm not ready to update the tkbibtex page at my site with the updated version. I'd appreciate bug reports, feedback, etc.; I can then incorporate this feedback into the final version. By the way, tkbibtex itself hasn't been updated for about three years. If the program's main developer makes changes, I will try to track those changes in my version or discuss merging my changes into his code.

The check box affects the creation of new parent records, and it is older records that are causing the trouble. I guess what I need to do is fix all my older records. I understand that this auto-creation of the Booktitle field procedure is due to a problem with BibTex itself. Have people always entered a "Booktitle" field for any edited volumes? It still seems, though, that the child record should not inherit anything in the Title field for the book/incollection combination.

A very minor thing I forgot yesterday: the window of the potrace experimental i-Package in i-Installer has retained the title "autotrace tracing program". An example of the outputs of autotrace and potrace on exactly the same input, with default settings in both cases, can be seen at . autotrace is better at tracing curves (like rounded corners), but introduces curved artifacts otherwise (transforming lines of constant thickness into lines of varying thickness, for example). potrace is better at tracing straight lines, but has a tendency to miss curved lines (missing, in particular, rounded corners). Thus it seems autotrace would be better at calligraphy, and potrace at technical drawing. Eventually I chose potrace, given the output had to be polished afterwards anyway in Adobe Illustrator (by manipulating each control point manually, so that straight lines are indeed straight lines, rounded corners are indeed circular, etc.).

The default repository mentioned was an autotrace i-Package (but that is no problem when you open via an i-Directory) and the dependencies of autotrace were also still there as well as one time in teh Readme. How the potrace i-Package came about is not so difficult to guess.

I am not sure when the Booktitle information is set. You should describe this in your bug report if it does not work for you -- if it really does not work, it is a bug. > I understand that this auto-creation of the Booktitle field > procedure is due to a problem with BibTex itself. Have people > always entered a "Booktitle" field for any edited volumes? Yes. Unfortunately an "incollection" item needs two titles, "Title" for the article and "Booktitle" for the volume. BibTeX's crossref mechanism works in a rather simple way: It takes all information that is not present in the child item from the parent item. An "incollection" already has a "Title" field, so the parent's "Title" is ignored. But you can work around this by copying the parent's "Title" to "Booktitle", so the child will inherit this information correctly. Are you subscribed the the BibDesk developer list?

Correct. And it won't inherit the Title, if it already has an own Title. If your problem remains, we could move the discussion to the Developer list.

The offering of formats is based on what is in the fmtutil.cnf file. I do not know if Thomas ever got around to having a sort of `available' check on formats offered in that file. Cheking availability would be limited to testing for an ini file and not all formats have that, so a real check might be problematic. Basically, choosing formats is editing the fmtutil.cnf file, there is no certainty that everything for the format is available. And if it fails to be produced, nothing serious happens, though people might get confused if they try to study the output. I'll see what I can do on this issue. > Although I've chosen TL2005 I get explained that a tl2004 layout was > found -- someone with weaker nerves could panic!

You'll probably have to run the i-Installer again, as the Tiger installer may update some files that _may_ break the TeX install - at least from the command-line, you may never notice this from TeXShop. However, I don't think a normal update does any harm - but be sure to update TeXShop and CocoASpell to the latest release. Only the latest release of CocoASpell will run under Tiger, and TeXShop has seen so many great improvements, that it'd be a shame not to enjoy those. An 'Archive and Install'-update will require a re-run of i-Installer.

I find the prospect of 100 pages without the concept of a paragraph rather hard to handle, and so does TeX. It is the \par (implicitly called with a blank line) that allows the internals of TeX to look for how to arrange things on the page. Even with lots of paragraphs, in my experience it's hard to get lots of \marginpar s to fall onto the correct pages. I have some documents which use pop-up photographs that occur in the margins. Maybe 10+ per page. Invariably there are some which float to the next page ... >> Are there any packages that deal with that problem?

A completely different way to do the margin/sidebar may indeed be what is needed. The question then is how the information appearing there is to relate to the main text in the body of the page.

Hi Adam, On Tiger: when the window is resized and the columns resized as well, the MikTeX icons seem to stay at a fixed position within the window, independently from the column width. Test: enlarge the TCOBrowser window significantly, the MikTeX column will take all the added width and the MikTeX icons be centered accordingly; then change the column widths, and resize the window, the MikTeX icons won't move, even if they fall outside the window.

This is just a peculiarity of resizing the tableview, AFAICT, since I've set it up for resizing in "Last Column Only" mode. If you resize the window so that the last column falls inside the window again, the MikTeX column will resize with the window again. You can play with the popup menu in Interface Builder to see what the other effects are like; I haven't tried that.

I'm trying to install a type 1 postscript font for use with TexShop, 2.03, running on Tiger 10.4.1 The font is a lwfn file and there is an afm file. The font was named Csc and worked fine in Textures. Following Bruno Voisin's guide, I renamed the font Cscr8a, and using the terminal window, succeeded in generating the file Cscr8a.pfb. The three files, lwfn, afm, and pfb all are in the same folder. As instructed, in the same folder I created a file named Csc-drv.tex which contained the lines input fontinst.sty \latinfamily{Csc}{} \bye Bruno's next step is "Run TeX" on the file Csc-drv.tex to produce PL, VPL, and FD files. My question -- how? I tried various combinations in the typeset menu of TeXShop. All gave tex errors as noted in the console, except for plain tex with personal script. In this case I got a message that the tool could not be found. I guess the tool is fontinst.sty. But that file was indeed installed by the i-installer. It's in the system library at location /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/fontinst/base/fontinst.sty (Actually that is the address given by the getinfo service. I imagine this is the same address as the path iBook/Library/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/fontinst/base/fontinst.sty, which is how it appears when opening iBook manually.) Just for good measure, I put a copy of the "base" folder in a mirror location charlespugh/Library/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/fontinst/base but still tex did not find the tool. Suggestions? Best, Charles Pugh BTW There is an apparent misspelling in Bruno's guide. It says that the -drv.tex file should have the first line input fontint.sty as contrasted to fontinst.sty I did try it this way also, just to be sure, but had no better luck. --------------------- Info --------------------- Mac-TeX Website: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ & FAQ: http://latex.yauh.de/faq/ TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq List Post: From tex at jnicholl.org Wed Jul 6 19:00:03 2005 From: tex at jnicholl.org (Jonathan Nicholl) Date: Thu, 7 Jul 2005 00:00:03 +0100 Subject: [OS X TeX] font install July 6 In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: On 6 Jul 2005, at 23:44, Charles Chapman Pugh wrote: > input fontinst.sty > \latinfamily{Csc}{} > \bye Shouldn't that be '\input fontinst.sty' with a '\'?

I think you may have the wrong idea about LyX. It serves a similar, but not identical, function as TeXShop. In TeXShop, you enter raw tex/latex, push a button, and see gorgeous output. In LyX, you enter (more or less) what you want to see, and LyX displays the more-or-less gorgeous output right there. Then you push a button, and the real gorgeous output is displayed in a dvi/pdf viewer. Instead of raw tex/latex, you tell LyX what you are doing, and then type away (for math, using raw tex/latex, of course). It takes a bit of getting used to but it does work.

Export it as a LaTeX file. 4. Open the exported file in TeXShop. LyX is actually pretty neat.

Thanks for the advice. I had copied Bruno Voisin's instructions verbatim, but even after changing input to \input and typing fontinst instead of fontint, when the file (named Csc-drv.tex) \input fontinst.sty \latinfamily{Csc}{} \bye was sent through TeXShop with Plain Tex and Tex with Ghostscript invoked in the typeset menu, Tex complained that fontinst 1.924 was called for, but fontinst 1.8 was provided. (There were unknown commands like \begincomment. I had installed TeXShop 2.03 with the i- installer, so it's apparently in need of a newer version of fontinst.) OK, so I got fontinst 1.928, and replaced 1.8 with 1.928, which I put in the main Library where 1.8 had been. (First I tried 1.924 itself.) Running Tex now produces the following console output. It appears that certain etx files (namely 8r.etx) can't be found. Are they not internal to fontinst? (Files labeled Cscr8a.pl and Cscr8a.mtx are now produced in the folder containing the source file Csc-drv.tex.

This instruction must be used after modifying the content of /usr/ local/teTeX. All TeX-related binaries search files: (1) First inside ~/Library/texmf/ directly, (2) Afterwards inside /usr/local/teTeX/share/, but not by searching the directories directly: instead, for speeding up the process, a database /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/ls-R is used. "sudo texhash" is the instruction for updating this database. That's why, if you add something inside ~/Library/texmf it's taken into account immediately, while if you add something inside /usr/ local/teTeX/ you have to run "sudo texhash" before the addition is taken into account.

It should belong into /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/fontinst/base or /Users/charlespugh/Library/texmf/tex/fontinst/base ... charlespugh/Library/texmf/tex -- this is a nice path name and I suggested it would stand in correct UNIX syntax for ~/Library/texmf/tex or $HOME/Library/texmf/tex or ~charlespugh/Library/texmf/tex in case charlespugh/Library/texmf/tex is your login name. If not, then tex won't find the fontinst files. If you need to install into the system's TeX repository, i.e. somewhere in the tree /usr/local/teTeX, the best choice is /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local. Additions that go into this sub-tree are usually safe when updating (exceptions: XeTeX with fontspec.sty and xunicode.sty). If you start acting like a system administrator you have to complete the job. And this: go to Terminal and invoke 'sudo texhash' -- that's a command that re-hashes/re-lists for TeX the contents of the /usr/local/teTeX tree of files and directories (folders). If this would not be done TeX would have to search every time in a pile of about 500 MB of files the right ones. One strategy to achieve finding would be to start a new search every time a file has to be read, or TeX could perform a recursive listisg of that tree's contents first (<200K) and then search in that list for every file it needs to read. The first method is for executives, folks that can wait a few days for an output. The second method is faster -- but once you have that listing, why don't you keep for the next run? You can save at every TeX invocation 20 or 30 seconds! This step has been out-sourced from TeX to texhash. So every time you change anything you need to run texhash, and you need to run it as the super-user because the TeX installation is made read-only for the average user. And that's the Mac owner usually. So you have to invoke the command in Terminal (or xterm) as 'sudo texhash'. If you install additions into your own private repositary, that is into the tree $HOME/Library/texmf, then you don't need to 'texhash' anything because usually these few (hundred) files are search within milliseconds. That's the reason why you have to complete the administrator's job. And it will happen again when you go to integrate the MAP file for the Csc font into TeX! The it will be simply 'sudo updmap --enable Map=Csc.map' or such, provided you've put the MAP file into the right location. Now, can you execute first in Terminal this command and send it to the list additionally to the answer of the above? ls -lR $HOME/Library/texmf/tex/fontinst -- Greetings Pete A lot of us are working harder than we want, at things we don't like to do.

In trying to resolve this (which hasn't happened yet), it was suggested (on the texhax list) to try 'wrapfig'. That didn't work either. The problem with wrapfig is that I can't get the table to appear where I want it. The author has looked at 'wrapfig', and has found a bug. However, his fix doesn't work with TeXShop. I noticed that TeXShop is set up to use pdflatex, so I tried this by hand and got the same result. However, I got correct results when I run 'latex' by hand. Anyone got a clue here? I'm kind of stumped. This is on 10.3.9 with a kind-of-old install from Gerben. I've got a more recent install from Gerben on a 10.4.1 system, and the problems there are even skankier (so I won't go into them here). Regards, Justin -- Justin C.

Is it there? In TeXShop, it does indeed shows in the Services meny ? but dimmed. As it is in ? Safari. But the application I downloaded is called Aiksaurus Cocoa and what shows dimmed is English Aik(The)saurus. Both the homepage and the Source Forge are pretty terse.

This is a known problem, see 'texdoc grfguide' for details (page 6, the absence of a colour stack, for that statement, see 'texdoc pdftex- a', page 30).

After asking for the font files off-list last night to Charles Pugh (the original poster), and a bit of experimentation, here's a solution, not that far actually from the one suggested by Peter Dyballa. The large picture: you can't avoid reading the docs. Font installation is an intricate aspect of TeX, and there is no straightforward solution working for any font (apart from XeTeX -- see below). The important documents here are: - Philip Lehman's Font Installation Guide at /Library/teTeX/share/ texmf.tetex/doc/fontinst/fontinstallationguide.pdf - The talk "Surviving the TEX font encoding mess" at /Library/teTeX/ share/texmf.tetex/doc/fontinst/talks/et99-font-tutorial.pdf - The fontinst manual at /Library/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/doc/ fontinst/manual/fontinst.pdf - The LaTeX Font Guide at /Library/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/doc/latex/ base/fntguide.dvi - The dvips manual at /Library/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/doc/programs/ dvips.pdf Regarding "my" tutorial, I am very well aware it is outdated (it was written before Panther came out), contains misprints and could be made better (more pedagogical). But I'm not willing to update it. When writing it in a couple of sleepless nights two years ago, I made it clear I couldn't maintain it afterwards, due to lack of time/ competence. My aim then was to provide a starting point, for a community effort run by this list; unfortunately it didn't catch up. If people are willing to correct/modify/add information, please contact Bob Kerstetter, the current maintainer. Wiki might also be a solution, but again the tutorial is no longer "mine" and such things are not up to me to decide. There's also a danger of eventually replicating the Font Installation Guide, making it simply Mac-specific. Back on topic, here's a list of possible steps. Step 1: Inspecting the font =========================== The font comes out as a Classic LWFN printer font file Csc and an AFM file Csc.afm. Put these, say, on the Desktop in a folder FontInstall. Then open Terminal, move to this folder: cd Desktop/FontInstall convert the LWFN file to PFB format: t1unmac -r Csc/rsrc Csc.pfb and open the PFB file in FontForge, by first launching FontForge: open-x11 FontForge then selecting the PFB file. You'll get a table displaying all the glyphs in the font. The font Csc turns out to be a symbol font, containing cursive letters and numerals with a glyph coverage similar to the Euler Fraktur font (see p. 31 of /Library/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/doc/fonts/ amsfonts/amsfndoc.dvi). Hence the procedure is different from the one in the tutorial: it's actually simpler, there's no need to reencode the font; in TeX jargon, we'll use Csc as a raw font. This situation is described in section IV.4, "Installing symbol fonts", of the Font Installation Guide and we'll follow the procedure there closely. Because of Csc being a symbol font, we'll choose the name zcscr (this renaming is absolutely unnecessary for the font to be used with TeX, it's just used here to make things as "clean" as possible). "z" because the font is bizarre, "csc" because that's its original name, and "r" because that's its regular shape (actually the only one available). See for example slides 15--16 of the Survival Guide above. Step 2: Preparing the font ========================== Rename the font files accordingly: cp Csc.pfb zcscr.pfb cp Csc.afm zcscr.afm Two routes are now possible for the next step, depending of whether you're more comfortable with the syntax of fontinst, or with the syntax of LaTeX's font definition .fd files and dvips map .map files. Step 3 (the fontinst route): Creating the font support files ============================================================ This route makes use of the intricate fontinst syntax. You can either take it simply as an adaptation of the example in section IV.4 of the Font Installation Guide, and use it without wondering exactly what it does; or look at section II, "Installing TeX fonts with fontinst", of the Survival Guide, especially slides 32--35. First, write a driver file, zcsc-drv1.tex say, containing: \input fontinst.sty \recordtransforms{zcsc-rec.tex} \installfonts \installfamily{U}{zcsc}{} \installrawfont{zcscr}{zcscr}{txtfdmns,zcscr mtxasetx}{U}{zcsc} {m}{n}{} \endinstallfonts \endrecordtransforms \bye and process it with plain TeX. This will create a number of files: - A fontinst metrics file zcscr.mtx, that won't be used. - A property list file zcscr.pl, to be processed at once by pltotf to create a TeX font metrics file zcscr.tfm, by typing in Terminal: pltotf zcscr.pl - A LaTeX font definition file uzcsc.fd, ready for use. - A records files zcsc-rec.tex, to be used for producing a dvips map file. Secondly, write another driver file, zcsc-drv2.tex say, containing: \input finstmsc.sty \resetstr{PSfontsuffix}{.pfb} \adddriver{dvips}{zcsc.map} \input zcsc-rec.tex \donedrivers \bye and process it with plain TeX. This will use the records file to produce the map file zcsc.map. At the end of this process you've got the three required types of information: TeX font metrics .tfm file, dvips .map file, LaTeX font definition .fd file. Step 3 (the afm2tfm route): Creating the font support files ============================================================ This route uses the afm2tfm syntax, described in section 6.3, "Invoking Afm2tfm", of the dvips manual; the dvips map file syntax, described in section 6.4, "`psfonts.map': PostScript font catalog", of the same manual; and the LaTeX font definition file syntax, described in section 4, "Font installation", of the LaTeX Font Guide. Use afm2tfm to produce the metrics file zcscr.tfm: afm2tfm zcscr.afm Then write yourself the font definition file uzcsc.fd, containing: \ProvidesFile{uzcsc.fd}[2005/07/09 Font definitions for the Csc PostScript font] \DeclareFontFamily{U}{zcsc}{} \DeclareFontShape{U}{zcsc}{m}{n}{<-> zcscr}{} \endinput and the dvips map file zcsc.map containing: zcscr Csc ): zcscr \table \end Same with /Library/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/latex/base/ nfssfont.tex, to be processed with LaTeX: type at the prompt: zcscr \table \stop If everything's correct, you should obtain the same type of font table as in FontForge. Then there's only one thing left: write a LaTeX package, defining commands for selecting the font. Step 5: Creating a LaTeX package for the font ============================================= Based on the info in sections 2, "Text fonts", and 3, "Math fonts", of the LaTeX Font Guide, write a file csc.sty containing: \ProvidesPackage{csc}[2005/07/09 LaTeX support for the Csc PostScript font] \DeclareRobustCommand{\csc} {\normalfont\fontencoding{U}\fontfamily{zcsc}\selectfont} \DeclareTextFontCommand{\textcsc}{\csc} \DeclareMathAlphabet{\mathcsc}{U}{zcsc}{m}{n} \endinput This defines three commands for using the font in any LaTeX document: - A declaration \csc, to be used in text mode in the form : {\csc blah}. - A text font command \textcsc, to be used in text mode in the form \textcsc{blah}. - A math font command \mathcsc, to be used in math mode in the form \mathcsc{blah}. Next move csc.sty to ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/csc/ (or to /Library/ teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/latex/csc/, but then run "sudo texhash" afterwards). You're done! You can test everything works by creating and typesetting a LaTeX file such as: \documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article} \usepackage{csc} \begin{document} AAA {\csc AAA} BBB \textcsc{BBB} CCC $\mathcsc{CCC}$ \end{document} Now, all the above is based on "traditional" LaTeX mechanisms. On the Mac we've also got XeTeX, which allows direct use of OS X fonts in TeX. Meaning that, of all the above, only the steps corresponding to the creation of the LaTeX .fd and .sty files are necessary: the creation of the .pfb, .tfm and .map files is unnecessary. For example, with the font itself (font suitcase and printer file) installed in your Classic font folder, and with XeTeX installed, you simply need, for using the font Csc, to write in the preamble of a LaTeX document: \DeclareFontFamily{U}{Csc}{} \DeclareFontShape{U}{Csc}{m}{n}{<-> Csc}{} \DeclareRobustCommand{\csc} {\normalfont\fontencoding{U}\fontfamily{Csc}\selectfont} and then in the document itself: {\csc AAA} With the fontspec package installed this is even simpler, in that you only need to put in the preamble: \usepackage{fontspec} and in the document itself: {\fontspec{Csc} AAA} That said, this comes at a price, and XeTeX isn't supported by a number of LaTeX packages which only know dvips and pdfTeX. XeTeX lives at and has a dedicated mailing list .

If you have Interface Builder, try opening up TCOBrowser's MainWindow.nib, double-click on the "web drawer" view, select the WebView and hit cmd- shift-i to get info on it, then uncheck "Enable plug-ins" and see how it goes.

So it asks the user to choose an external application. To me the way how to deal with InterfaceBuilder and MainWindow.nib looks a bit different: four windows (MainWindow.nib, TCOBrowser, search field, and Cocoa-Windows) open. When I double-click on Drawer in Cocoa-Windows nothing happens. When I select that field and press Cmd-Shift-i a new window opens, NSWindow Info. When I step through Cocoa-Windows' tools bar and come to the Cocoa Graphics View, I see four large logos: Safari, OpenGL, Finder, and QuickTime. Letting the cursor hover over Safari a tool tip "WebView" appears. Single- or double-clicking does not do anything, Cmd-Shift-i brings me back to the dead end street I mentioned before. In MainWindow.nib an item "webDrawer" is shown. When I double-click it a new window NSDrawer Class Info opens, probably again in dead end street. webDrawer in same window is my next choice: on Cmd-Shift-i an NSDrawer Info window opens, but no "Enable plug-ins" visible.

Well, it was a lame how-to, but this last try was almost correct. Sorry, I forget how confusing IB is if you're not used to the thing. In MainWindow.nib, you should see a gray square with "View" on it, and below that it says "Web drawer". Double-click that to open the drawer's content view, and single-click on the gray "WebView1" that appears. Use cmd-shift-i to get info, then choose "Attributes" from the inspector panel. You should have a checkbox then for "Enable plug-ins". -- Adam --------------------- Info --------------------- Mac-TeX Website: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ & FAQ: http://latex.yauh.de/faq/ TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq List Post: From bvoisin at mac.com Sun Jul 10 10:41:45 2005 From: bvoisin at mac.com (Bruno Voisin) Date: Sun, 10 Jul 2005 16:41:45 +0200 Subject: [OS X TeX] [ANN] TCOBrowser-0.84 In-Reply-To: <88a5e955db521273a0f9d3c2c322471a@Web.DE> References: <88a5e955db521273a0f9d3c2c322471a@Web.DE> Message-ID: Le 9 juil. 05 ? 23:41, Peter Dyballa a ?crit : > My system (Darwin localhost 7.9.0 Darwin Kernel Version 7.9.0: Wed > Mar 30 20:11:17 PST 2005; root:xnu/xnu-517.12.7.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC > Power Macintosh powerpc) has two MSL.frameworks: > > /Applications/Adobe Reader 7.0/Adobe Reader 7.0.app/Contents/ > Frameworks/MSL.framework > /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Frameworks/MSL.framework (symlink > to the above) It's precisely for this reason that I hate Adobe Acrobat/Reader, and more generally that I am suspicious towards Adobe software: they have a tendency to want to take over your computer, replacing built-in OS mechanisms by their own mechanisms upon install, without asking you first whether you agree. Unfortunately I have to use Acrobat for work. Last week I updated Office v. X to 2004, Illustrator 10 to CS2, and Acrobat Pro 5 to 7. Then I noticed some things didn't work as expected, and went looking at the logs: - ~/Library/Receipts/com.adobe.distiller/install.log indicates Acrobat installed PDFMaker components inside the Office directory. - ~/Library/Receipts/com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro/install.log indicates Acrobat installed not only an AdobePDFViewer component inside / Library/Internet Plug-Ins/, but also frameworks *inside the Safari application itself* at /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Frameworks/, and also a CUPS printer at /usr/libexec/cups/backend/pdf700. The PDFMaker and PDFViewer component can be removed afterwards, but the modification to the Safari application seems highly "unethical": how can one application be allowed to modify another application on its own initiative, without asking the administrator first? Regarding the PDFMaker and PDFViewer, if one wants to keep them in place but simply disactivate them, the built-in mechanisms for doing so don't seem to work: - The installation of AdobePDFViewer results in Safari using this Adobe plugin to display PDF files, instead of using the PDF viewing ability built in Tiger (or the Schubert It plugin on Jaguar and Panther). In Acrobat (and Reader as well), there is a checkbox "Display PDF in browser using: Adobe Reader 7.0" in Preferences/ Internet, but the preference doesn't seem to stick: the checkbox is re-checked automatically every time Acrobat/Reader is used to view a PDF file. - Similarly, the installation of the PDFMaker components results in a new PDFMaker toolbar to be added to Word, eating screen estate. In the Personalize Toolbar window in Word, there is indeed a new checkbox "Adobe Acrobat PDFMaker", but again the preference doesn't stick: the checkbox is re-checked automatically each time Word is restarted. The fact this happens in both cases seems to indicate this is not a bug but, rather, a deliberate imperialistic behaviour from Acrobat. I remember Maarten Sneep some time ago wrote a post explaining in detail how to get rid once and for good of the AdobePDFViewer plugin, I'll look for it. I had managed recently (I don't remember exactly how) to reinstall Adobe Reader 7 from its installer without installing the PDFViewer plugin; but alas a couple of weeks later when installing the 7.0.2 update the PDFViewer was added automatically by the updater -:( Bruno Voisin--------------------- Info --------------------- Mac-TeX Website: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ & FAQ: http://latex.yauh.de/faq/ TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq List Post: From herbs at wideopenwest.com Sun Jul 10 11:09:05 2005 From: herbs at wideopenwest.com (Herbert Schulz) Date: Sun, 10 Jul 2005 10:09:05 -0500 Subject: [OS X TeX] [ANN] TCOBrowser-0.84 In-Reply-To: References: <88a5e955db521273a0f9d3c2c322471a@Web.DE> Message-ID: <599D5C10-EB5C-4721-A684-A67BF143A271@wideopenwest.com> On Jul 10, 2005, at 9:41 AM, Bruno Voisin wrote: > > - The installation of AdobePDFViewer results in Safari using this > Adobe plugin to display PDF files, instead of using the PDF viewing > ability built in Tiger (or the Schubert It plugin on Jaguar and > Panther).

I think I set the preferences in Reader (you may have to do this in both Reader and Acrobat) not to use the plugin, quit each program and THEN deleted the plugin.

Howdy, After downloading the fltpage package the demonstration file compiled fine on my system; no errors from hyperref. I added a Table of Contents and that is being displayed properly on my system. Note that the default margins in the book class are assymetric between even and odd pages; could that be what you were seeing? How old is your TeX system? Do you have the i-installer version (gwTeX)?

Besides all the previous changes to the processing steps for the figure files (to get the Boundingbox correct) and setting the default font size (along with options to change that) I've added two new options. One allows you to set the document class for the figure files. This will be handy for forcing the use of font sizes not normally available in the default `article' class. The second allows you to set the fonts size to any value that is ``legal'' for a given document class. These are set using the ``standard'' key=value method. E.g. \usepackage[docclass=memoir,ptsize=9pt]{pdftricks} will put the first line \documentclass[9pt]{memoir} in each of the generated figure files. The default values (no `=value' given) are `article' and `10pt' respectively. The older 10, 11 and 12 options for forced point sizes are still available but are deprecated. As usual, please let me know of any problems. Oh, yeah... grab the modified pdftricks as the file NewPdftricks.zip on my download site .

That's unbelievable; an InputManager or one of the other runtime hacks seems less dirty than actually modifying an application's bundle like this. My original reason for dumping Acrobat was the Windows-style toolbar across my entire display, but I now feel even more justified in keeping my system Adobe-free, possible thanks to Preview, Create and TIFFany3 ;). > I'm back to using the Shubert PDF plugin in Safari; I only miss > scrolling using the scroll wheel on my mouse. > > I've actually been using the Camino browser more and more.

It's Gecko (Sp?) based but with a Cocoa interface (unlike Firefox). No brushed metal! Try an official nightly or even an unofficial optimized (for different processors) nightly. There is popup blocking that seems quite effective and ad blocking via css that also seems pretty nice. It's biggest problem right now is that typing in text boxes is a bit `flashy' and slow and there is no spell checking in text boxes; both are being actively worked on at the moment but it's a small group of volunteers doing this project.

A couple of years ago, I was regularly building Camino (then called Chimera) from source, since nightlies weren't available, and found it to be an excellent browser: fast and lightweight. I just pulled the latest nightly, and it looks like it's come a long way since then in terms of UI; very nice.

A control-click to save is the workaround for now, or else set your prefs to open in the web browser. I had a couple of reports of crashes due to the Adobe Reader issue, and don't have time to investigate it thoroughly at the moment. If you're using Tiger, PDF will still open in the drawer.

I do know that I'm using the same version of pdftex but I have a newer version of hyperref (2003/11/30 v6.74m). I don't know what else has changed, but I'd try to update that.

Or at least it is with Office X. Also with Office X and Acrobat version 6.x, there is a shared library file called "PDFMakerLib" that is placed in /Applications/Microsoft Office X/. In my experience, any time you start Acrobat, it checks for the existence of a file with this name. If it cannot find it, it recreates the file -- regardless of the Acrobat settings, as Bruno noted above. I suspect that the same thing may happen if one renames or deletes the files Bruno mentioned above, although I cannot test with the latest Office/Acrobat. However, replacing the file "PDFMakerLib" with a folder of the same name (in the same location) *does* remove the PDF toolbars from all Office components (again, in my experience with Office X and Acrobat 6) yet fools Acrobat into thinking the shared library file is installed.

It is (a) a convenient way to properly install a large number of pre- configured useful packages for LaTeX users, which includes (b) a hack of AUCTeX, that allows to have a more intuitive handling of the "view" command in a macintosh context (in particular, for non-pdftex users willing to preview in pdf). In the good old days, the customisation of AUCTeX was heavier, but now AUCTeX has evolved. cheers --e. --------------------- Info --------------------- Mac-TeX Website: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ & FAQ: http://latex.yauh.de/faq/ TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq List Post: From lichtner at lanl.gov Wed Jul 13 13:00:19 2005 From: lichtner at lanl.gov (Peter Lichtner) Date: Wed, 13 Jul 2005 11:00:19 -0600 Subject: [OS X TeX] TeXShop and split windows Message-ID: Looks like the upgrade to Tiger 10.4.2 solved the problem with split windows in TeXShop and the appearance of spurious text. ...Peter --------------------- Info --------------------- Mac-TeX Website: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ & FAQ: http://latex.yauh.de/faq/ TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq List Post: From jackson at msrce.howard.edu Wed Jul 13 17:48:37 2005 From: jackson at msrce.howard.edu (Aaron Jackson) Date: Wed, 13 Jul 2005 17:48:37 -0400 Subject: [OS X TeX] working with eps figures Message-ID: <27d82ea03760d8199a08177ad12740d2@msrce.howard.edu> I hope this is not too off topic...

I usually cheat: I put the figures in a table, with extra labels, and referencing those in the main caption: \begin{figure} \begin{tabular*}{\textwidth}{c@{\hspace*{\fill}}c} \includegraphics{bogus1} & \includegraphics{bogus2} \\ (a) & (b)\\ \includegraphics{bogus3} & \includegraphics{bogus4} \\ (c) & (d) \end{tabular*} \caption[short]{long, referencing the (manual) (a), (b) etc.} \end{figure} Hope this helps. There are neater solutions, especially if you need the figures to be vertically aligned, and the columns have the same width, see the tex FAQ for pointers (http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/ texfaq2html?introduction=yes) Maarten --------------------- Info --------------------- Mac-TeX Website: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ & FAQ: http://latex.yauh.de/faq/ TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq List Post: From alan at alphabyte.co.nz Wed Jul 13 18:17:07 2005 From: alan at alphabyte.co.nz (Alan Litchfield) Date: Thu, 14 Jul 2005 10:17:07 +1200 (NZST) Subject: [OS X TeX] working with eps figures In-Reply-To: <27d82ea03760d8199a08177ad12740d2@msrce.howard.edu> References: <27d82ea03760d8199a08177ad12740d2@msrce.howard.edu> Message-ID: <1667.222.153.211.158.1121293027.squirrel@webmail.ak.planet.gen.nz> Hi Aaron, I have found success doing this with the \subfig and \rotating packages: \begin{sidewaysfigure} \begin{center} \subfloat[]{\includegraphics[width=0.45\linewidth{}]{IMG1} \label{Fig:IMG1}} \quad \subfloat[]{\includegraphics[width=0.45\linewidth{}]{IMG2} \label{Fig:IMG2}} \caption[TEXT FOR TOC.]{CAPTION TEXT: \subref{Fig:IMG1} IMG1 SPECIFIC TEXT \cite{IMG1 CITATION}; \subref{Fig:IMG2} IMG2 SPECIFIC TEXT.} \label{Fig:IMGS} \end{center} \end{sidewaysfigure} The beauty of this method is that references in the body of the text will be shown as, for example Figure 1(a), 1(b), and Figure 1 if you use Figure \ref{IMG1}, Figure \ref{IMG2}, and Figure \ref{IMGS} respectively.

I have a few usage questions: I'm trying to paste or drag an equation into a keynote document, but it seems I can only drag 'em there as an image, not as some inline text. Am I missing something, or was that never an intended feature? I'm not sure this is even possible from other applications, so I may very well be asking too much. As a side note: I did have to resolve the \pdfminorpdfversion issue reported here a few days ago before I could use the tool. Note that this requires recreating all formats. I think that the checking for warnings and errors may be a bit too strong in LaTeXiT.

Yes, this is what LaTeXiT can do. It produces an image, not text. Only a tool like Illustrator can understand the PDF and offer to modify it. However, thanks to the LinkBack technology, the image dropped in Keynote can be reopened in LaTeXiT, so that you can modify it afterwards. > As a side note: I did have to resolve the \pdfminorpdfversion issue > reported here a few days ago before I could use the tool.

If I look at the Character palette, I can see the OpenType Latin Modern fonts installed by i-Installer from the TeX i-Package, but not the BSR/AMS PostScript CM fonts that I installed in the Classic font folder. Which after all is normal, given I have installed "hidden" versions of these fonts (obtained by adding in ResEdit a "%" at the beginning of the screen font name) precisely so that the fonts don't show up in applications' font menus and are only seen by Textures. I do remember that in Illustrator 10 these fonts, though being hidden, did show up in the Character palette; now in CS2 they don't, which seems better. I can't tell whether the change is due to CS2 or to Tiger 10.4.2, as I have installed Illustrator CS2 last week or the week before, and I haven't used it really before updating Tiger to 10.4.2. The fact that the fonts still show up in Font Book seems to indicate OS X isn't involved here. That said, I'm not very happy with CS2: I was expecting it to be faster and more Apple-HIG-compliant than Illustrator 10, but that's not the case. It seems to only add bugs, and more modifications to the OS X routines (like replacing the printing window by a completely new one, for no reason). For example, I've been spending the last hour or so (and it's 1:45am here on a Friday night!) trying to determine why a Mathematica- generated EPS file cannot be opened in Illustrator CS2: Illustrator silently fails to open it, and looking at the console.log I can see: Adobe Illustrator(480,0xa000ef98) malloc: *** Deallocation of a pointer not malloced: 0x139f7ea8; This could be a double free(), or free() called with the middle of an allocated block; Try setting environment variable MallocHelp to see tools to help debug I'm cc'ing the OS X TeX list, as I think your original question could be of interest to the people there as well (this is typically an interaction-of-TeX-with-other-OS-X-software question) .

However, I thought it would be better to work in Illustrator from the original EPS file. I remember in several circumstances people here have posted instructions using GhostScript or scripts based on it to deal with malformed EPS files. Hence I have attempted pre-processing the problematic EPS file with eps2eps (installed with GhostScript) before opening it in Illustrator. That works to extent that the preprocessed file is indeed opened by Illustrator; however, it seems the PS font (Courier) included in the original EPS file has been bitmapped by eps2eps. Is there a way to avoid this?

My TeX fonts are not hidden and they are in the OS 9 "Fonts" folder in "System Folder (from Old Mac)" since my upgrade to Tiger. It seems that in Panther and earlier OS systems, the Fonts from OS 9 were automatically loaded into Illustrator. But not so now in Tiger. > I do remember that in Illustrator 10 these fonts, though being hidden, did > show up in the Character palette; now in CS2 they don't, which seems better. > I can't tell whether the change is due to CS2 or to Tiger 10.4.2, as I have > installed Illustrator CS2 last week or the week before, and I haven't used it > really before updating Tiger to 10.4.2. The fact that the fonts still show up > in Font Book seems to indicate OS X isn't involved here. With some help, I found this article which solved the immediate problem of font substitution for CM fonts which were not loaded in the Illustrator Application. As instructed, I made the fonts available in this directory*: Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Fonts/Reqrd/ At first, I put a symlink to the "Font" folder using the command line, but the Character Palette was not updating the font names when the text was selected. (However, I may have been too impatient, as the change is slow on my machine). So I made a copy of all the TeX Postscript Fonts from OS 9 and put them in a folder (TeXFontsForAdobe) inside the above-mentioned directory*. Now the font substitution problems have disappeared and all the embedded TeX fonts in Illustrator .eps files show up without substitution. (Too bad about having to duplicate the fonts though). > That said, I'm not very happy with CS2: I was expecting it to be faster and > more Apple-HIG-compliant than Illustrator 10, but that's not the case. It > seems to only add bugs, and more modifications to the OS X routines (like > replacing the printing window by a completely new one, for no reason). I don't have CS2 yet. Fontwise, is it important to upgrade to CS2 immediately?

Or maybe it will just corrupt your work. Does Adobe have a means to report bugs?

Will you be using platex for all your writing? (seems natural to me, given your location). In that case: open the TeXShop preferences. The popup menu in the lower-left corner of of the preferences window will allow you to select a default that uses platex instead of latex. I don't know whether you should use Shift JIS or EUC, I think those are different character encodings. If you'll only be using this occasionally, you might be better off with a custom engine. Read the help on information on that subject.

I wouldn't say so. I see no real benefit upgrading actually (apart from the added tracing functionality, for converting bitmaps to vector drawings, but I haven't tried this yet). So you can save your boss a few bucks! I did upgrade because I was experiencing problems with Illustrator 10 (and also because I got some funding!), and I was hoping Illustrator CS2 would solve them: working with Mathematica-generated big EPS files (about 25 MB), Illustrator 10 was becoming unbelievably slow (about 20 s before typing something and seeing it appear on screen) and crashed when attempting to save the modified file; after adding 512 MB of RAM to my PowerBook G4, to reach 1 GB in total, Illustrator 10 managed to finally save the modified file, taking about 40 mins to do so (I imagine it performs some sort of compression when saving a file). Having heard that Illustrator CS2 is more PDF-based than the EPS- based Illustrator 10, I was expecting CS2 to play nicer with OS X. Alas: it doesn't seem to make any difference! Another explanation may be malformed EPS files generated by Mathematica, giving Illustrator a hard time. I was using Mathematica 4.1. Now I've ordered the update to 5.1, and I'm expecting Mathematica 5.1 (or even 5.2) anyday now, I'll see whether the new version creates different EPS files.

Yeah. To access the OS X printing window, you must first reach Adobe's printing window, press a button, go through a warning screen telling you'll lose some functionality offered by the Adobe printing window, and finally reach the OS X window which only acts as a front- end to the Adobe printing window, bringing you back to it after the settings have been chosen. This is the only way, for example, you can use the OS X Print to PDF function; from Adobe's print window, you can only use the Adobe PDF 7 virtual printer installed together with Illustrator. >> Adobe Illustrator(480,0xa000ef98) malloc: *** Deallocation of a >> pointer not malloced: 0x139f7ea8; This could be a double free(), >> or free() called with the middle of an allocated block; Try >> setting environment variable MallocHelp to see tools to help debug > > This sounds to me like a bug in Illustrator; it's trying to free > memory that it doesn't own, and this will probably cause a crash > sooner or later.

You're correct: there's a ps2epsi in /usr/local/bin/, and it does solve the problem: the EPS file processed by ps2epsi is indeed opened successfully by Illustrator CS2 (after changing the extension to .eps, as Illustrator refuses to see a .epsi file).

If anything it should go into the texmf.local branch, not texmf.gwtex since that will get overwritten at the next update. You should also install it into ..../ texmf.local/tex/latex/ or a sub-directory in that directory. It may even be best if you put it into your personal tree at ~/Library/texmf/ tex/latex/ since that requires no `sudo texhash`. Finally, it most definitely should work if it's in the same directory as the original file! You've got other problems.

(I know there is one file explaining it, don't know just now! :) I moved everything as you suggested to : /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex here I did not found the folder "latex". I created that beast, moved the folder /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.gwtex/tex/latex/html/ with the file html.sty to /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/latex/html/ after a sudo texhash everything is "compiling" well in TeXShop. Only the links are not clickable, which is probably not the intention of this "html.sty". I am really wondering, what is this thingy doing, except striping out some little html-code. In any case thank you once again, for this good lesson :-) marek ___________________________________________ the embassy for talented young musicians Podium International | Marek Stepanek | mstep at PodiumInternational.org http://www.PodiumInternational.org ___________________________________________ --------------------- Info --------------------- Mac-TeX Website: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ & FAQ: http://latex.yauh.de/faq/ TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq List Post: From fmhoyt at mail.utexas.edu Sun Jul 17 14:11:26 2005 From: fmhoyt at mail.utexas.edu (fmhoyt at mail.utexas.edu) Date: Sun, 17 Jul 2005 13:11:26 -0500 Subject: [OS X TeX] Adjusting header indent in sectioning commands Message-ID: <1121623886.42da9f4ed57ef@webmailapp3.cc.utexas.edu> Hi, I am wondering how to adjust the indent between the numbering and header in sectioning commands.

When I use a PDF generated by LaTeXiT itself, everything's fine. Maybe it has something to do with the default preamble? Is the preamble also saved inside the pdf and reimported (but invisible)?

My recommendation is this: if you're using a web browser which supports Services, select the BibTeX or RIS, go to the application's menu (e.g. OmniWeb) -> Services -> BibDesk -> Add to bibliography (you should have a bibliography open for this).

I now understand what to do. I just didn't understand the documentation properly. I think the confusion is that "new publication from pasteboard" should do different things automatically, depending on whether it receives a structured or non-structured input. If it gets BibTex/RIS, it should add it automatically. If it gets something it can't parse, it should offer the present behavior. After all, both ways give new publications from the data in the pasteboard -- there's no reason why there should be two different commands to enter it. Anyway, just an idea. The point should be to make very clear that certain kinds of structured data can be entered --On July 18, 2005 6:35:47 PM -0700 "Adam R.

I think the only reason it doesn't do something more like what you suggest is that we are all used to the current way of doing things, and the 'new publication from pasteboard' command is relatively new to most bibdesk users, especially the developers. I just always thought of it as a special case. I've forwarded your mail to the developers mailing list for discussion. There's still time to beat us to it and submit a patch, though! :) I'd like to specifically encourage this kind of feedback - even if there is another way to do what you want to do (and there are lots of ways to enter data in BibDesk), if it doesn't do the first thing you think of, I'm curious what we're missing.

It will also do its best at figuring out if the item already exists in your bibfile or database, and in that case offer to merge the two records... The package can be downloaded from http://mat.uab.es/~kock/alpha-tcl/CardBrowser-beta.tar.gz but you should be aware that this is all still at a beta stage of development, and the installation will require you to write a few Tcl commands by hand (instructions are included).

You can probably do this with bibtool, but there's no way to do it with BibDesk (yet). BibDesk preserves the order in your file, so once you sort it, newly added publications will be added at the top. > > A second related question, is there a .bst file which can sort > the .bib entries via year? This .bst must be compatible with > natbib as I use this in for my vitae. I use unsrt and order them manually (they're also split with bibunits). Probably not what you wanted to hear, though :).

Just run 'tex makebst' from the command-line, answer a ton of questions, and you'll end up with a bst that is compatible with natbib, and does what you want.

(1) Please do not start a new thread (with the corresponding new subject) by replying to a post from another thread. If you do this, email clients, such as Apple's Mail, will then put all of these messages together making it very difficult to find information. (2) Please use *plain* text when posting to the list -- it makes the archives much easier to read. This is done in Apple's Mail by going to: Mail > Preferences > Composing and then choosing plain text as the Message Format.

Regarding the problem reported earlier in this thread (Illustrator CS2 unable to open an EPS file saved from Mathematica 4.1.5, and writing to console.log a worrying error message about bad memory allocation), the culprit was indeed Mathematica 4.1.5: opening the same notebook in Mathematica 5.1, and saving the same graph as an EPS file from within it, then this file is opened by Illustrator CS2 with no problem.

Why yes, I know what happened to it! I've moved it into BibDesk's source repository, as we'll be shipping it with the next version of BibDesk; we should have Spotlight functionality similar to Mail/ Address Book in the next release.

No need to risk having two importers for the same UTI on disk afterwards! I had thought the importer might be now a part of BibDesk, and had tried "mdimport -L" just to be sure, with BibDesk installed, but with no luck. Actually I was just trying to replicate on my "old" PowerMac G4 my current work environment (a PowerBook G4), so that the PowerBook could be shipped to AppleCare for repair (AirPort card and/or antenna replacement). Quite a challenge given the PM hard drive is 30 GB, and the PB hard drive 60 GB! I had been using the PM only for backup for the last 2 years, leaving it happily at Jaguar. But with the PB now in Tiger, with its new incompatible email format, I have been spending the last 1.5 days switching the PM to Tiger and reinstalling/ updating all software accordingly, to mirror the PB setup.

For DVI, no. For the BibImporter, I'm not sure yet, since Apple had a related bug that may be fixed in 10.4.2. I'll check it out and let you know.

You can get the DVI importer at , and the source is available on request (BSD license). The BibTeX importer is currently in BibDesk's CVS repository; the previous version really just indexed the text content of the BibTeX files, so was only marginally useful, but I can make that available if anyone wants it. >Do we have importers for .tex and .ps files as well? Apple ships PS and PDF importers, and I believe that Norm Gall wrote a .tex importer for his Emacs redistribution. Again, it would be nice if each of the TeX front ends would ship a spotlight importer for .tex files, since they claim the file type. > >> Will there be a problem if we forget to remove the BibImporter and >> DVIImporter from /Library/Spotlight? > >Can we install them also in ~/Library/Spotlight?

I noticed that now it's even possible to open LaTeXiT PDFs with LatexEquationEditor (not only the other way around, which is what I wanted) - that's more than I expected. Are you writing the Latex-Source to the PDF twice, or have you switched entirely to the way LEE was doing it all the years?

It's easy to reproduce (but if you cannot, I will send you a file): Start LaTeXiT and typeset $a=b$. Drag the result to the desktop. Drag it back to LaTeXiT and re-typeset. Voil?: ./latexit-1.tex:6: LaTeX Error: Two \documentclass or \documentstyle commands. I think the preamble is inserted twice, because the line number increases from 7 to 12 (with a 5 line default preamble). Oh, wait - I accidentally had an empty 6th line at the end of my preamble. When I remove it, everything works. But still, the line number is increased by 5 for every drag and drag-back. Still a bit odd behaviour.

Thank you, Jonas I append the crash report: ---------------------------------------- Date/Time: 2005-07-21 13:42:19.232 +0200 OS Version: 10.4.2 (Build 8C46) Report Version: 3 Command: TeXShop Path: /Applications/TeXShop.app/Contents/MacOS/TeXShop Parent: WindowServer [63] Version: TeXShop Version 2 (2.03) PID: 216 Thread: 0 Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001) Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS (0x0001) at 0x80011809 Thread 0 Crashed: 0 <<00000000>> 0xfffeff30 objc_msgSend_rtp + 48 1 com.apple.AppKit 0x9363744c +[NSMenu(NSKeyEquivalents) _canUseKeyEquivalentForMenuItem:] + 64 2 com.apple.AppKit 0x936373b8 -[NSMenuItem keyEquivalent] + 48 3 TeXShop 0x00032618 -[MacroMenuController listKeyEquivalents:] + 88 (MacroMenuController.m:640) 4 TeXShop 0x00032730 -[MacroMenuController listKeyEquivalents:] + 368 (MacroMenuController.m:638) 5 TeXShop 0x00031ff4 -[MacroMenuController setupMainMacroMenu] + 200 (MacroMenuController.m:187) 6 TeXShop 0x00015a34 -[MyDocument fixMacroMenu] + 68 (MyDocument.m:5754) 7 TeXShop 0x0000d884 -[MyDocument doJob:withError:runContinuously:] + 736 (MyDocument.m:1946) 8 com.apple.AppKit 0x9369f08c -[NSApplication sendAction:to:from:] + 108 9 com.apple.AppKit 0x936f9888 -[NSMenu performActionForItemAtIndex:] + 392 10 com.apple.AppKit 0x936f960c -[NSCarbonMenuImpl performActionWithHighlightingForItemAtIndex:] + 104 11 com.apple.AppKit 0x936f90b4 -[NSMenu performKeyEquivalent:] + 272 12 com.apple.AppKit 0x936f8d00 -[NSApplication _handleKeyEquivalent:] + 328 13 com.apple.AppKit 0x93602a90 -[NSApplication sendEvent:] + 2944 14 com.apple.AppKit 0x935fa3f0 -[NSApplication run] + 508 15 com.apple.AppKit 0x936eac1c NSApplicationMain + 452 16 TeXShop 0x00008124 _start + 348 (crt.c:272) 17 TeXShop 0x00007fc4 start + 60 Thread 0 crashed with PPC Thread State 64: srr0: 0x00000000fffeff30 srr1: 0x000000000200d030 vrsave: 0x0000000000000000 cr: 0x44000244 xer: 0x0000000020000007 lr: 0x000000009363744c ctr: 0x0000000093635c5c r0: 0x0000000000010009 r1: 0x00000000bfffe8c0 r2: 0x0000000000010001 r3: 0x000000000047eba0 r4: 0x0000000090a0b850 r5: 0x00000000a360b684 r6: 0x0000000000000001 r7: 0x0000000000000001 r8: 0x0000000000000006 r9: 0x0000000080001800 r10: 0x0000000000000011 r11: 0x0000000080001904 r12: 0x0000000000728674 r13: 0x0000000000000000 r14: 0x0000000000000000 r15: 0x0000000000000000 r16: 0x0000000000000000 r17: 0x0000000000000000 r18: 0x0000000000000000 r19: 0x0000000000000000 r20: 0x0000000000000000 r21: 0x0000000000000000 r22: 0x0000000000000000 r23: 0x0000000000000000 r24: 0x0000000000482bd0 r25: 0x00000000060115b0 r26: 0x0000000000061108 r27: 0x000000000047ebe0 r28: 0x000000000047eba0 r29: 0x000000000047ebe0 r30: 0x000000000047ead0 r31: 0x000000009363740c Binary Images Description: 0x1000 -

Yes, you guessed well. The preamble was inserted twice. As soon as the font problem (of another thread on this list) is fixed, I will update the current beta for download.

I have noticed that it tends to happen as it is trying to preview a large document immediately after typesetting is complete. Re-opening the document after the crash always properly displays the document. Anyway, I reported this to Dick Koch several weeks ago (along with crash reports), so I know that he is aware of the problem. Of course, more people reporting it may also move it up his priority list. :-) -- Gary --------------------- Info --------------------- Mac-TeX Website: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ & FAQ: http://latex.yauh.de/faq/ TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq List Post: From mocken at physik.uni-freiburg.de Thu Jul 21 11:50:59 2005 From: mocken at physik.uni-freiburg.de (Guido Mocken) Date: Thu, 21 Jul 2005 17:50:59 +0200 Subject: [OS X TeX] LaTeXiT 1.3 released In-Reply-To: <45D1CF0D-DCBE-497A-B038-55BA7524A236@club-internet.fr> References: <60963E2A-E1B3-4638-8DC8-FB5AE6DF5682@club-internet.fr> <55476fda583e33d557d87bd5e6da4029@physik.uni-freiburg.de> <0CF164FD-221F-40C5-A283-F9BEC67C651E@club-internet.fr> <4EE99050-39F9-4157-8805-2FF535705F24@physik.uni-freiburg.de> <928BAD5B-AE69-40CC-A493-4C212FE02C1C@club-internet.fr> <54189bf31746dbd358ecb63005a45199@physik.uni-freiburg.de> <45D1CF0D-DCBE-497A-B038-55BA7524A236@club-internet.fr> Message-ID: <54b6c7cddd4f7fe9dc62a7adc4b7a770@physik.uni-freiburg.de> Am 21.07.2005 um 14:34 schrieb Pierre Chatelier: > Yes, you guessed well.

I have two more minor suggestions to make: - Don't make the icon of the PDF look like the equation. If the equation is a large one, the resulting icon is basically blank and impossible to select (and therefore, you cannot easily remove the icon in the Finder's Item Info dialog). Or at least, make it an option. - For PDFs dragged to the Finder, please set the file type to "PDF " and the creator to whatever is necessary. I am not sure about Apple's current metadata policy, but anyway, it would be nice to have the PDFs reopened automatically in LaTeXiT upon double click. Right now, LaTeXiT does not even appear in the "Open with..." menu. - I still see quite a lot of crashes ... mostly random, though ...

Ok, fixed. This is a bug in panther; I had to search how to circumvent it.

I did notice that changes to the preamble do not take effect unless I quit and restart the application (I'm using the panther version). For example, if I change from \usepackage{fourier} to \usepackage{mathpazo} LaTeXiT uses the utopia font until I quit and restart, then the palatino font is used. A minor nit.

Thanks for the cool app. Any modification to the default preamble does not affect currently open windows, since their would be the risk to overwrite some modifications the user has made in them. However, you do not have to restart the application; just open a new document like in any application (Command-N).

OK, I never thought of making a new window. Seems pretty obvious now... Thanks for the info.

I just noticed something else. I have a library of about 35 or so equations. It looks like each one has the default preamble. If I do a Library->Refresh equation, the new preamble doesn't get loaded. Is there an easy way to change the preamble of an equation in the Library without having to go through and re-copy/paste/label each equation? Also, if I have multiple windows open and typeset a different equation in each window, then the top most equation is echoed in all open windows overwriting what was previously there. At least everything is saved in the history. I plan to add more equations to the library (I'm sure the total will be around 100 or so for my dissertation). It would be nice to have a keyboard shortcut to do this instead of having to do a Library->Add current equation each time. Thanks.

Your question about "why does the default preamble is not taken in account before I restart the app" was a FAQ. This one about the library is a new one. In both cases but it reflects a real use, and something isn't clear in the interface, so I have to reconsider the interface. What about two new buttons in the "default preamble panel" -apply to open documents -apply to library ? > Also, if I have multiple windows open and typeset a different > equation in each window, then the top most equation is echoed in > all open windows overwriting what was previously there. At least > everything is saved in the history. Yes, the library, as the history, is unique. LaTeXiT has been designed with this idea. It is far less confusing than one library per document. > > I plan to add more equations to the library (I'm sure the total > will be around 100 or so for my dissertation).

Hm, nice for equations (if the result is something like "a=..."), not so nice for any other tex snippets (e.g. \LaTeX). Another idea would be to give the user a selection rectangle to determine, which part of the image should be used for the icon. But maybe that's way too much effort just for the document icon.

Yes, but I think it will never be perfect. The icon is just a reminder of what's inside; by default there would be the default OSX pdf icon, so it is better than nothing, even if it is sometimes ugly. > Another idea would be to give the user a selection rectangle to > determine, which part of the image should be used for the icon. But > maybe that's way too much effort just for the document icon. I think the user does not want to give bother with that. It's just file saving, after all. > I could very well live with a standard icon, if it's a good one. > Maybe one that's derived from the standard PDF icon plus some > subscript "\LaTeX" to indicate that it contains Latex source code. Yes, but there would be no clue of what's typeset inside. But I am still not sure if it is a feature to keep. You may be right with the "standard icon". By the way, another question: actually, I redefine the icon only for PDF and EPS, which would have none otherwise. But what about TIFF, JPEG and PNG ? They gain automatically an icon, a thumbnail of their content. But that thumbnail has the problem of being unreadable for big equations, and has the point/click problem over transparency. So, should I overwrite their default icons as well with my friendly one ?

Unless anyone stops me for doing > something totally silly. Regarding the icon topic: I think taking the document icon from the document content wouldn't be such a good idea. GraphicConverter uses (or used, I haven't tried a recent version) to do this by default, and it results in icons with odd proportions and/or undecipherable content. The Finder has the option to replace, for each window, each document icon by the preview of the document content (using the Presentation Options wheel-like icon in the window toolbar, and you have the option to make it effective for either the current window or all windows). Given that, I think it would make more sense to use either the standard PDF icon for each saved equation, or a custom LaTeXiT icon (my preferred solution); should the user prefer a content view as icon, then she would always have the possibility of getting it using the Finder.

I don't think I explained myself well here. What I mean to say is that if I start LaTeXiT and then open two windows, render a=b in the first window, then render g=h in the second window, both windows now have g=h. This is not what I expected, since the contents of the first window, a=b, is now overwritten with g=h. My user intuition would expect that only the window I am using should be affected by any typing/latexing. However, this is not a huge problem since the history is global to all windows, and I can just reload a=b in the first window from the history. I agree, having a global history is a good thing.

Gee, it is not what is expected; okay it is a bug, I was'nt aware of it. I think it is due to recent changes.

The problem is that the standard PDF icon is not very informative about the content. Usually, LaTeXiT will be used for small equations, so I think it is rather useful to have a thumbnail or something like that. That's what I like for my personal use. Moreover, I disagree with using a special LaTeXiT icon, since the files remain mere PDF, EPS TIFF PNG or JPEG. There is no need to add confusion with the icon, that would pretend, if it was a special one, that it is not a standard file. For instance : if I e-mail a PDF file produced by LaTeXiT to somebody that do not know that app, he won't uderstand what the file icon is.

If I had equations in my library rendered in similar fonts i.e. times and times new roman, and the preambles are the same length, how would I know which equation used which font/preamble?

There was one release that I had to rename the ~/Library/LaTeXiT folder so my equations would be loaded by the new version. Does this mean that the library.dat file is no longer needed or is that still the location of the default library? I ask because people will need to make sure to include the ~/Library/LaTeXiT folder in any backup schedule. > -Command-+ is a new shortcut for library adding > Thanks! > This is still beta, don't hesitate to make criticisms I do appreciate your openness to suggestions and your hard/prompt work. This is the main reason that I am using your software, although it is indeed very useful. At this point, LaTeXiT is usable for my needs, however there are a few rough edges for me. I suppose that is because I am most likely using it in a way you did not foresee. I hope I come across more as a beta tester and less like a demanding and unsatisfied user.

Personnaly, I prefer transparent background for icons, since my Finder windows have blank background, and my Desktop is the blue default one. You seem to have dark background, that means that the icons should rather be with a light background. Difficult to find the best of two words...

The combination of dtx and ins is a standard way of distributing latex packages. Just run tex on the ins ('install') file. It will process the dtx file to produce the sty file. Then run the dtx file through (pdf)latex, and you'll get the documentation of the package. You can then move the produced files to the correct locations.

When drag'n dropping, LinkBack works, but the baseline has no meaning, since a PDF is dropped, without any contextual info from the *destination*. However, when you use the service, some info is sent to LaTeXiT (context color, font size, current baseline), so that what is pasted is not a mere PDF but RTF data, in which the baseline can be embedded. The difference is that when you use the service, since you are transforming text, you are assured that you can paste text in return. With a baseline. And it seems that Linkback is not taken in account by the way application service works. Technically, I would say it is normal (but perhaps I am wrong). So, bad luck, I think that you can't get no satisfaction. But I have a proposal. I may add a new export type ! So far, there is PDF, EPS, TIFF, JPEG and PNG. I may add RTF, so that what is exported can embed a baseline. It is not so handy, but you can see it as a workaround. Any thoughts ?

I also guessed at the problem too but have no solutions. For the new output choice would the graphic be embedded in the rtf? I'd be willing to try it out if you are willing to play with it.

In addition to Maarten's correct advice, you may find it easier (in future) to install the MikTeX package, if it's available. The TCOBrowser program that I wrote (free as in speech and beer) allows you to do this by double-clicking the little brown package icon, and it can extract to a folder of your choice for a manual install, or extract directly to ~/Library/texmf. -- Adam --------------------- Info --------------------- Mac-TeX Website: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ & FAQ: http://latex.yauh.de/faq/ TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq List Post: From maarten.sneep at xs4all.nl Sat Jul 23 15:20:21 2005 From: maarten.sneep at xs4all.nl (Maarten Sneep) Date: Sat, 23 Jul 2005 21:20:21 +0200 Subject: [OS X TeX] LaTeXiT 1.3.1 and Nisus (LinkBack) In-Reply-To: References: <30B09C52-1342-462E-A5B5-38D1286F462C@wideopenwest.com> Message-ID: On 23 Jul 2005, at 17:25, Pierre Chatelier wrote: > It seems that you reached the edge of the two technologies...

I think this discussion is more at home on the MacTeXToolbox list: afaik, you can export multiple formats at the same time: you can just place RTF, PDF and Linkback data on the same pasteboard. Since drag and drop uses the same mechanism, I don't really see what the missing destination has to do with this: granted, you can't obtain a handle to the exact font-size, but with drag and drop this will be the responsibility of the user anyway. I think the program can be much simpler and more robust, if the various export possiblities use teh same mechanism as much as possible. At least for the service and the drag-n-drop (which both go over the pasteboard), the same behaviour should be observed. > However, when you use the service, some info is sent to LaTeXiT > (context color, font size, current baseline), so that what is > pasted is not a mere PDF but RTF data, in which the baseline can be > embedded.

I'd think it should work, regardless of how the Linkback pasteboard enters the application (i.e. through drag-n-drop, copy-n-paste or a service: they all use the NSPasteBoard classes). > But I have a proposal.

Ask Nisus what you should expect, move this discussion over to MacTeXToolbox (which was created to support such discussions), and consolidate all pasteboard paths within LaTeXiT (they may already use the same code, but just offer it all).

It is a project to coordinate and stimulate the development of tex related tools for Mac OS X. Background and further information can be found on the web-site: http:// mactextoolbox.sourceforge.net The site recently moved over to sourceforge from my private domain.

Well, I disabled plugins in a previous version in response to the problems you and others were having. I'm frankly not motivated to install Adobe's crapware and try to debug the problem on 10.3.x, since I can't even build TCOBrowser on 10.3.x anymore. I think what should happen is that after you click the link, it gets handed over to your default web browser for download; you could bypass this by control-clicking on the PDF link to save the file. > > When I double-click the PDF symbol in the Rem column my Console shows: All this should do is hand the URL to the default application for that type; if it's http or ftp, it should open in a browser. It's basically the same operation as double-clicking a webloc in the Finder. I can't explain the log messages, but it certainly appears to be related to Adobe's plugin. It would be interesting to know if this problem occurs with all applications which use WebKit to display web content, or if I'm doing something wrong.

How about this: if TCOBrowser sees that crap it raises a warning telling that with this *ware PDF files can't be displayed in TCOBrowser, but when this plague-in is removed and that from SchubertIT installed it would work, + a footnote where in Adobe Reader 7 to switch off the re-installation. Then TCOBrowser uses the forward mechanism to the default Internet browser. On next start-up TCOBrowser checks again and might warn again, if the plague-in is still there. Otherwise it uses SchubertIT's PDF plug-in or, if it's not installed, it forwards the PDF file to the default Internet browser. To me it's a very valuable feature when TCOBrowser or any other application can achieve things inside its own window(s).

Its works for the document windows, but the toolbar(s) continue to take on the full width of the screen. I've been digging a bit more on the way Acrobat applications invade the OS' and other applications' ecosystem. It appears there are three components that are "self-healing" in Acrobat applications: this meaning they reside in the application bundle, and each time the application is launched it checks whether these components are installed at various places in the system and in other applications; if it doesn't find them, then the components are reinstalled by copying them from the application bundle. The three components are: - PDF Viewer (for both Reader and Acrobat): Safari plug-in for viewing PDF files; takes over the Tiger built-in mechanism for doing so, and in Panther and Jaguar takes over the Schubert-it PDF plugin. - PDF Maker (Acrobat-only): allows direct creation of PDF files from within MS Office applications. - PDF Printer (Acrobat-only): additional printer, allowing printing to PDF from any application. IMO this is all made unnecessary by the PDF capability within OS X; unless you're willing to create PDF files with a specific resolution or compression ratio, for example if you're constrained by file size (publishers sometimes request this). Tiger goes one step further in making this unnecessary, by offering Automator scripts for compressing, encrypting etc. PDF files from within the Print dialog. The main problem for these 3 "plugins" is that there are normally mechanisms for disabling them, but these don't work. Reader and Acrobat have a checkbox in the Internet pref for disabling the PDF Viewer Safari plugin, but it's re-checked every time Acrobat or Reader opens a PDF file. Similarly in Office applications you have normally a checkbox you can uncheck to make the supplementary PDF Maker toolbar disappear; unfortunately, given the way this toolbar is created (in Word, Excel and PowerPoint macro files read each time Word, Excel or PowerPoint is launched), the choice isn't remembered. It seems the only way to get rid of this stuff is the one mentioned by Maarten: throw away the corresponding files. The next, or one after next, time Acrobat or Reader will be launched it will display a warning telling components are missing and should be reinstalled: the 3 above components. You must uncheck the components, and check a box telling you don't want to see the warning again. You can see the same warning, but without the checkbox allowing you to say you don't want to be bothered again, using the menu item Help > Detect and Repair. According to the install.log in ~/Library/Receipts/ com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro, the "self-healing" files are: - PDF Printer /Library/Application Support/Adobe PDF/Data/cidstart.ps /Library/Application Support/Adobe PDF/Data/epilogue.ps /Library/Application Support/Adobe PDF/Data/prologue.ps /Library/Application Support/Adobe PDF/Example Files/RunDirEx.txt /Library/Application Support/Adobe PDF/Example Files/RunFilEx.ps /Library/Application Support/Adobe PDF/Example Files/pdfmrkEx.ps /Library/Application Support/Adobe PDF/Settings/PDFA DRAFT.joboptions /Library/Application Support/Adobe PDF/Settings/Standard.joboptions /Library/Application Support/Adobe PDF/Startup/Example.ps /Library/Printers/PPD Plugins/AdobePDFPDE700.plugin /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj/ADPDF7.PPD /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/ja.lproj/ADPDF7J.PPD /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/ko.lproj/ADPDF7K.PPD /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/zh_CN.lproj/ADPDF7CS.PPD /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/zh_TW.lproj/ADPDF7CT.PPD /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/createqueue.pl /usr/libexec/cups/backend/pdf700 /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/BlackWhite.icc /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/JapanStandard.icc /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/ Photoshop4DefaultCMYK.icc /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/ Photoshop5DefaultCMYK.icc /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Settings/Color Management Off.csf /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Settings/ColorSync Workflow.csf /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Settings/EU General Purpose Defaults.csf /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Settings/Emulate Acrobat 4.csf /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Settings/Emulate Photoshop 4.csf /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Settings/Europe Prepress Defaults.csf /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Settings/JP General Purpose Defaults.csf /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Settings/Japan Color Prepress.csf /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Settings/NA General Purpose Defaults.csf /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Settings/Photoshop 5 Default Spaces.csf /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Settings/US Prepress Defaults.csf /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Settings/Web Graphics Defaults.csf -

I've just had a look at the drawer in TCO Browser for the first time. Very nice! (I'm not even mentioning the MikTeX package-install, which seems immensely useful.) I realized by accident TCOBrowser may be used for visualizing any PDF file: dragging by accident a PDF file from my Desktop onto the drawer, the PDF file was displayed inside the drawer. For Tiger user: something users may not be aware of is that, by Ctrl- clicking the PDF document inside the drawer, a contextual menu appears allows to select continuous scrolling, zooming in/out, fitting to width, etc. The same applies in Safari. Only minor complaint (relating to this Tiger mechanism, not specific to TCOBrowser): it seems there's no way of specifying default settings for the embedded PDF viewer (default magnification etc.). That said, I must add I don't like drawers personally: I prefer instead a "separated" window ? la Mozilla, Mail.app, iTunes etc. Drawers are convenient, but look kind of unbalanced, especially with the very wide drawer in TCOBrowser. Even time I click on a drawer which has popped up from within a window, I have the impression the additional pressure of my click will make the drawer fall and with it the virtual desktop made by the window (that is, as if the window was a table seen from above, and the drawer a drawer from this table)! Regarding the TCOBrowser drawer, it seems it has a maximum width beyond which it can't be enlarged, even if the screen would be large enough for doing so.

Well, the drawer here is a convenience for quick access without a full-blown web browser; I wouldn't read PDF in it myself, rather just list the contents of the CTAN directory. You can configure the prefs to open the CTAN links in your web browser, though, rather than the drawer (a double-click on a row opens the drawer or your default browser). >Regarding the TCOBrowser drawer, it seems it has a maximum width >beyond which it can't be enlarged, even if the screen would be large >enough for doing so. Drawers are limited to the size of their parent window.

[snip] >> it seems that Linkback is not taken in account by the way >> application service works. I have contacted Nisus developers to ask them, and I was wrong : Linkback does work well with the application service. So what's the problem ? The problem is that to tune an equation's baseline, LaTeXiT's application service does not send back an image, but an RTFD stream, in which the baseline can be tuned. But it appears that in text editors, it is very difficult to "extract" the image from the stream, so that Linkback is there, but "unreachable" in the RTFD object. But it is the responsibility of the text editor to do that. NWE guys told me that they will work on that, but it will finally depend on the text editor. So what could I do ? Well, I found a compromise : If you use the feature of automatically tuning the baseline (it is a checkbox in LaTeXiT's service preferences), then LinkBack MAY not work (depending on the text editor). However, if you disable that feature, then the application service won't send RTFD but a simple image, so that LinkBack SHOULD work. But you will have to change the baseline yourself. Any comments/feedbacks about that ? Do you think it is a reasonable choice ? Would you see another solution (for technical discussion, you can just post on the Tex ToolBox mailing list) ?

I know that LinkBack is still very young so it's nice to get involved at this stage. I have to admit that I'm waiting for a Pages plugin although the latest Nisus Express 2.5 beta is much improved. I usually use LaTeX or XeLaTeX (if I need a special text font - like Zapfino, Variation=2, for a recent invitation I put together for my wife) but for some things that feel better working at the visual, rather than analytic level, like one off news letters, I think Pages might fill the bill for me. In any case I never know where I'll need to use maths so having LaTeXiT + LinkBack + Pages for those occasions will be wonderful. I still use LaTeXiT mostly for text and maths to be placed in graphics made in Create and there the baseline is of no concern for me. Thanks again for the effort you have been putting into LaTeXiT to make it useful in many ways to many folks.

Message-ID: <8ED5E6B6-0460-4D3B-A7EF-234230FE88EA@wideopenwest.com> Howdy, I have had a continuing battle with instabilities in Tiger. Occasionally the OS would spike CPU usage to 70-90% and a user process would not be able to respond to signals; this would show up as a ``xxxxx not responding'' message in Activity Monitor (I never needed to look in Activity Monitor and Console in any other version of OS X). E.g., once in a while when I would try to put my system to sleep the loginwindow process would take a very long time to come up and display the dialog box. I put 10.4 on my system using Archive & Install and believe(d) that I had been very careful about putting things I needed back into my system from the Previous Systems folder. I completely re-downloaded and installed TeX, etc., etc., (see, I guess there is some vague connection to the topic) and the few extras I knew were ok (Macaroni, CocoAspell (latest version)). But that problem persisted. I knew that Virex 7.x (I had used v7.2 downloaded from my .Mac account and never updated to 7.5 because of reported problems with Panther) was a problem with Tiger but felt that the Archive & Install should have removed all the harmful things from the /System/ and / Library/ folders. Remember... I was careful about what I restored from the Previous Systems folder. Seeing , I downloaded the un-installer (destaller?) and ran it; the script is a series of `rm -fr` commands run as root to delete all traces of the given version of Virex. Lo and behold, I haven't seen the problem for almost two weeks now when I was almost sure to see it about every other day before. My advice is to definitely delete all traces of Virex using the un- installers mentioned above if you EVER had Virex on your system. Now I call OS X 10.4 Tiger rather than Tigerrrr or Tigrrrr. Post Script: Now I'm sure that five minutes after sending this email my system will totally freeze to show its contempt for me! Just waited 5 minutes and all is still well.

Regarding the freeze problem only (I think I have bothered more than enough people on this list already with rants about Tiger's instabilities): I can think of three possible causes, other than bugs: - Spotlight updating its databases in the background. - Some network activity failing silently in the background (through all versions of OS X, I have experienced freezes or slowdowns with some network tasks in the Finder, especially with FTP -- for example when you click on an FTP link in Safari or Mail, and the Finder cannot connect to the FTP server). - Antivirus software like ClamXav scanning directories in the background (see below).

With Virex incompatible with Tiger, and now than ClamXav has reached version 1 and is more compatible with Tiger (it doesn't fuss with the NetInfo clamav user pre-installed by Tiger), I am using ClamXav for antivirus scanning. It can scan folders/drives on demand, and includes a Sentry function for scanning specified directories automatically. I have set the Sentry to scan the Desktop (my download directory) and the various Inboxes and Junk mailboxes of my Mail accounts. That said, as with any virus scanner I have tried so far, this Sentry function ends up invariably at some point with unexpected slowdowns nay crashes, and I will probably, as always, disactivate automatic scanning and only leave scanning on demand (for email attachments, typically, before forwarding messages to Windows users).

It's fully WYSIWYG, and doesn't seem to be TeX-based. The personal edition is stand-alone, while the pro ones include the stand- alone application plus either InDesign or XPress plugins; the pro editions seem to also include additional functions, like exporting colored equations while the personal edition only exports B&W output, and PostScript fonts while the personal edition only includes TrueType and OpenType fonts. The equations can be pasted in applications like Keynote apparently, and double-clicking the pasted equation brings back to the editor for modification. More details in . That said, the pricing seems prohibitive IMO for an equation editor -- compared with what we get for free with TeX-based editors (for example, $30 academic with 6-month subscription for the personal edition, *and* $200 academic with 6-month subscription for the pro InDesign edition).

There is also mds which runs irregularly and I don't know what it does - no man page for it.

The only disadvantage is that there are no searches inside .sit files. That is getting moot now since .zip has become ``standard'' under Tiger so everything I compress goes into .zip now. The latest version of ClamXav will open with a Drag & Drop but doesn't seem to actually search the dropped file(s). That is the way I like to do things---nothing in the background. Hopefully Drag & Drop will be improved in the future.

I can see Mac OS Roman and Iso Latin 1, as well as a bunch of other encodings, but not Windows Latin 1. Is it there under a different name? I searched the help with no luck. Reason for asking this: I'm trying to help a colleague working with MikTeX and WinEdit on a Windows PC collaborate with a beginner TeX user on a Mac with TeXShop; both need accented characters. After trial-and-error we've found out WinEdit uses Windows Latin 1 encoding (we've not been able to find any pref setting the encoding in WinEdit), leading to \usepackage[ansinew]{inputenc}. It thus would help to set TeXShop to use Windows Latin 1 as well, or at least to be able to import Windows Latin 1 files (rather than requiring separate installation of an encoding converter such as Cyclone).

See for information on getting the script for your version and then take a look at the script; things seem to be in lots of places. Running the script can't hurt since rm can't remove what isn't there.

Well, looking at the file EncodingSupport.m in TeXShop's source code it seems there is no provision for Windows Latin 1 encoding in TeXShop's editor, and only the 24 encodings appearing in the pull- down menu are available. However there exists indeed a corresponding string NSWindowsCP1252StringEncoding in Apple's Cocoa API , which seems to indicate it should be possible to modify EncodingSupport.m to add this encoding to TeXShop. I won't venture into recompilation though. It would be nice to have a modifiable list of recognized encodings, as in TextEdit (at Preferences > Open and Save > Plain text file encoding), or maybe to have TeXShop inherit its list of encodings from TexEdit.

Just an FYI, which you may wish to take with a grain of salt: In a recent meeting to discuss ways to deploy and use Xgrid at my campus, a local tech support guy noted -- and the Apple rep on hand confirmed -- that the Mach kernel doesn't actually respect 'nice' settings. The tech support guy called it a "placebo": the user sees the nice setting (say in 'top'), but the kernel (reportedly) completely ignores it. The Apple rep was from marketing, not engineering, FWIW. I don't have the expertise to verify this claim as fact. However, this information might help explain why some people are seeing slowdowns with what appear to the naked eye to be "niced" jobs. Perhaps a subsequent kernel update will in fact support 'nice'-ing processes.... -- Mike --------------------- Info --------------------- Mac-TeX Website: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ & FAQ: http://latex.yauh.de/faq/ TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq List Post: From costanzo at engr.psu.edu Wed Jul 27 14:03:33 2005 From: costanzo at engr.psu.edu (Francesco Costanzo) Date: Wed, 27 Jul 2005 14:03:33 -0400 Subject: [OS X TeX] Problems with the Editor in TeXShop Message-ID: Hi There: I writing to report an annoying bug in TeXShop (I am using version 2.03) that sometimes causes lines of text to appear and disappear as one moves the cursor vertically through a document.

Either use some postscript font (times, palatino, lucida, ?) or install some complete computer modern variant ? CMSuper (available as an i-Installer package, includes some cyrillic characters) or Latin Modern (already installed, requires the use of \usepackage{lmodern}) ? if you can't live without CM. As to why you'd want this, you actually give a good clue yourself: the sample text seems to be some French text, and texts with accents are not properly hyphenated in the default OT1, but they hyphenate correctly in T1.

I've also seen measurable differences when changing task priority using 'nice'. A possible explanation for the tech support guy's assertion is that the darwin task/thread priority mechanism is complicated enough that it doesn't map well to what you learn about unix in school. (At least, not what *I* learned about unix in school!) According to the docs, there are separate scheduling 'bands' as well as priorities within that band. This is why programs can hog the CPU but easily not make the mouse movement choppy, or skip iTunes, for instance. When you use nice, it puts that process into a separate band. The docs don't say explicitly, but it's implied that the order of band priorities goes: graphics server, dock, background apps, foreground apps, (re)nice'd processes, then other. OK, that's enough offtopic OS stuff from me. If you want to see where I got this from: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Conceptual/ KernelProgramming/scheduler/chapter_8_section_4.html FWIW, I've seen some bad performance from spotlight too. -mike -- Michael McCracken michael_mccracken at mac.com http://michael-mccracken.net/ --------------------- Info --------------------- Mac-TeX Website: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ & FAQ: http://latex.yauh.de/faq/ TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq List Post: From axretif at igo.com.mx Wed Jul 27 15:34:42 2005 From: axretif at igo.com.mx (Axel E.

I think if you search hard enough on this list, and go back several years, you'll find some messages from the developer, trying to sell us on their software. I delivered some comments, and apparently they appreciated those comments, and gave me a license. The user interface is very similar to the Word equation editor: IMHO it isn't really pleasant (naughty words removed). At the time they just added some TeX export, but I have no clue how that could ever get past QA: the tex code just will never compile, due to issues with fonts, and plain coding errors. I haven't tried the MathML export followed by an XSLT translation, and frankly I have no use for such an editor, so I don't really feel inclined to try it out. I didn't think the output is particularly spectacular, the same typographic glitches that are produced by MathType are present here as well. It feels like a MathType clone.

I started using Keynote very recently, and like the "blackboard" theme very much. The default font for text matches the theme very well. For mathematical formulas, and the simple diagrams generated by PSTricks, I use a wonderful little program, LaTeXiT. This program serves the purpose extremely well. However, for this particular "blackboard" theme in Keynote, I would hope the mathematical formula are displayed as "hand-writing style" to match the text, rather than the elegant LaTeX default style. Does this kind of font/package for displaying hand writing mathematical formula exist? Thanks for any input.

You may want to try the concmath package (see /Library/teTeX/share/ texmf.tetex/doc/latex/concmath/concmath.dvi). It will use the Euler fonts for math (see /Library/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/doc/latex/ amsfonts/amsfonts.dvi) and the Concrete fonts for text (see /Library/ teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/doc/latex/beton/beton.dvi). Warning: for the Concrete fonts to be available in PostScript form, you need to install the CM-Super fonts i-Package. Otherwise the fonts will be included as PK bitmaps in your PDF equations, yielding output that will be downright ugly and slow to display.

To be more specific, I think this is an AppKit bug, not a Tiger bug - All the apps people have mentioned with the problem use the AppKit's NSTextView text editing widget, while BBEdit does not. (Unless I've missed something recent) Indeed, NSTextView seems to have gotten a little weird in Tiger. I think it might be a result of recent attempts to speed up text drawing, related to the new graphics layer, and I assume it'll be ironed out in time. Until then, I will attempt to embrace its new quirky personality. And use Emacs a lot. :) -mike -- Michael McCracken michael_mccracken at mac.com http://michael-mccracken.net/ --------------------- Info --------------------- Mac-TeX Website: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ & FAQ: http://latex.yauh.de/faq/ TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq List Post: From tozsu at sympatico.ca Thu Jul 28 20:16:04 2005 From: tozsu at sympatico.ca (M.

These problems seemed to occur because the poster used the fonts with a "traditional" Unix-flavored TeX install, ie using a DVI-based viewer such as xdvi or macdvix.

There were a few tries before, but obviously only a few folks do that. Usually the fonts that come with teTeX are sufficient. And those who want extras only need to follow an easy recipe, as Gary did.) (There are some complications with naming the fonts according to their encoding, shape/variant, so there can't be an algorithm. Without it software is no solution.) (My own installer is aiming to convert TrueType fonts to PostScript fonts and make them via fontinst available to non-pdfTeX too. It's command line, but a GUI to the Perl script to fill in new fonts and name would be nice. And next summer/autumn the same for OpenType?) -- Greetings Pete "I wouldn't recommend sex, drugs or insanity for everyone, but they've always worked for me." -- Hunter S.

Please note that sansmath.sty is intended to get one a quick / dirty sans serif typesetting of equations --- you should either be able to rework it, (or maybe just do \renewcommand{\sfdefault}{whatever-your-comic-sans-fontname-prefix-is- here}).

Once I used a slightly different effect in Keynote 1: showing a scatter plot of experimental data points, and then adding on top of it a theoretical curve (or fit, for that matter). This was done simply by using transitions in Keynote itself: having the two plots (scatter plot, without and with the theoretical curve) in two slides at exactly the same position, and using the Dissolve transition between the slides. I haven't used Keynote 2 much since getting it, but with its added functionalities I imagine things could be even simpler: setting maybe a transition for the plot object itself, without needing to use 2 different slides.

Is what I'm after possible? I build everything except the slide title in LaTeX (via LaTeXiT), so I can integrate equations in bulleted lists without any trouble. You will see this in the sample slides I posted (they don't contain bulleted lists, but I can readily add a slide with one). -- Gary --------------------- Info --------------------- Mac-TeX Website: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ & FAQ: http://latex.yauh.de/faq/ TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq List Post: From bvoisin at mac.com Fri Jul 29 10:07:33 2005 From: bvoisin at mac.com (Bruno Voisin) Date: Fri, 29 Jul 2005 16:07:33 +0200 Subject: [OS X TeX] Hand-Writing Style Mathematical Formula for Keynote Blackboard Theme?

The LaTeXiT help seems to imply so. I hadn't tried such things before in OS X. With your slide I just tried naively what I was used to with Expressionist and MacWrite (years ago in OS 9), namely copying the slide content in Keynote and attempting to paste it in LaTeXiT.

At the risk of asking you to do more work, I for one would be interested in seeing such a slide. I tend to use Keynote schemes that were given away to .Mac account holders some time back (such as "Frames" or "Basic Research" , with the text/math customized to Palatino or Utopia), and these use custom bullets. I'd like to retain these bullets and the ability to use the powerful build tools of Keynote to control how information appears on the screen, but imbed in-line equations into these bullet items. I have a feeling that I am asking too much of the current technology.... Thanks for any pointers or suggestions. -- Mike --------------------- Info --------------------- Mac-TeX Website: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ & FAQ: http://latex.yauh.de/faq/ TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq List Post: From gray at engr.psu.edu Fri Jul 29 10:54:29 2005 From: gray at engr.psu.edu (Gary L.

This is true. I generally include the angle brackets around URLs. The problem is that the digest, when posted on the web, hides anything between angle brackets. :-( Therefore, I leave them out if the URL is reasonably short (shorter than about 80 characters). -- Gary--------------------- Info --------------------- Mac-TeX Website: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ & FAQ: http://latex.yauh.de/faq/ TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq List Post: From talmanl at mscd.edu Fri Jul 29 13:26:16 2005 From: talmanl at mscd.edu (Louis A.Talman) Date: Fri, 29 Jul 2005 11:26:16 -0600 Subject: [OS X TeX] Animated Graphs In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: On Jul 29, 2005, at 7:10 AM, Herbert Schulz wrote: > Does anyone know of a nice way to produce animated graphs?

Mathematica (*far* from freeware), in conjunction with Graphic Converter (not freeware, but quite reasonable shareware ), can be used to produce very nice stand-alone QuickTime animated graphs. Go to for examples.

What I got this time was a folder with two "InformalMath" files which didn't do anything for me. This does not surprise me since I run just about nothing but TeXShop and antique, mostly abandoned versions of Gates's stuff.

(Wonder how it looks in Acrobat under Windows....) As much as I can say not being familiar with Drop shadows, here in Tiger the shadow shows up fine in Preview 3 (or Safari) and Keynote 2, but doesn't show up at all in Adobe Reader or Acrobat 7.

(Wonder how it looks in Acrobat under Windows....) It must be a Tiger vs. Panther issue since my eye can't discern a difference between the second slide as viewed in Keynote and the second slide as viewed in Preview under Tiger. -- Gary --------------------- Info --------------------- Mac-TeX Website: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ & FAQ: http://latex.yauh.de/faq/ TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq List Post: From jackson at msrce.howard.edu Fri Jul 29 17:03:05 2005 From: jackson at msrce.howard.edu (Aaron Jackson) Date: Fri, 29 Jul 2005 17:03:05 -0400 Subject: [OS X TeX] Hand-Writing Style Mathematical Formula for Keynote Blackboard Theme?

It works as I expect it too ;-) "The \backmatter declaration makes no change to the pagination or folios but does prohibit sectional division numbering, and captions, etc., will be numbered continuously."

In the preferences for Crossref, I have "Duplicate the Title field to the Booktitle field for cross referenced types" and "Always Overwrite the Booktitle when Duplicating {book, proceedings,periodical, manual}" checked. I've deleted my preferences and the behaviourdescribed below persists. I have a parent entry: @book{Gall:2005:W, Address = {Toronto, ON}, Date-Added = {2005-07-30 08:27:07 -0600}, Date-Modified = {2005-07-30 08:27:54 -0600}, Editor = {Norman R. Gall and Karim Dharamsi}, Publisher = {York University Press}, Title = {The Way We Were}, Year = {2005}} Now, I wish to enter a child. I select the parent in the main window and hit Publications > New Publication with Crossref. I get an incollection entry window with Author blank Title The way We Were {linked} Booktitle blank Publisher York University Press {linked} Year 2005 {linked} Address Toronto, ON {linked} Crossref Gall:2005:W {linked} So, BibDesk is _not_ Duplicating the Title field to the Booktitle field for cross referenced types. This behaviour is also seen with option-command dragging a parent to a child window. Am I doing this wrong, reading the docs incorrectly, missing a known bug or unimplemented feature? Clearly the title of the parent is the child's booktitle, for the title of the collected paper is the child's title.

This is the same phenomenon that I posted about a few weeks ago. See the digests of July 2-4. In short, like me, the only thing that you did "wrong" was that you created a child record from a parent that did not have a Booktitle field. Apparently, due to the way BibTeX operates, it has always been necessary to enter Booktitle in any book record that you use as a parent. With the preferences that you have set, BibDesk will copy Title down to Booktitle when you create a *new* book record, but it will not add Booktitle, if missing, to an existing book record when you create a child from it. These existing parent records with no Booktitle produce offspring that appear mixed up: they have Booktitle blank, and what should be the Booktitle is in the Title field. To the eye of a newbie, it appears that Title from the parent is being assigned to the wrong location. (Side note: When operating as designed, BibDesk links the Title field in the child record from the Title field in the parent. I regard this as undesirable, since the reason for the record being a child in the first place is that its title is *not* the same as the parent's. My only experience, however, is with the book--> incollection combination. Could more experienced users please weigh in on whether there are cases when one would want Title in the child filled from Title in the parent?) I fixed the problem by re-entering the parent records, though I guess I could have added the Booktitle field manually with a text editor. Perhaps there is a way that this could be automated with some kind of script that would add Booktitle to all existing book records that do not yet have it, filling Booktitle with the contents of Title? In sum, anyone who thinks they might use cross-references in the future -- and they are really cool -- should set the preferences in BibDesk so that Title gets copied to Booktitle when entering new records. There is no harm in doing this, even for books that will not become parents, and it could save quite a bit of work down the road.

That is correct, and this is the intended behavior (according to the developer who implemented it). He says that we only add the Booktitle to the potential parent when its Title field is changed; observing all the possible ways a relation could change would cause a massive slowdown. > (Side note: When operating as designed, BibDesk links the Title > field in the child record from the Title field in the parent.

We're not selective there; presumably the user is going to change that field. We don't inherit the metadata fields such as date added/ modified, because they're added by BibDesk. > > I fixed the problem by re-entering the parent records, though I > guess I could have added the Booktitle field manually with a text > editor.

There was an AppleScript posted on the BibDesk developer list for this purpose, I think; it shouldn't be difficult to write a script if you can't find that one, given the scripts here for reference. -- Adam --------------------- Info --------------------- Mac-TeX Website: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ & FAQ: http://latex.yauh.de/faq/ TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq List Post: From jushen at gmail.com Sun Jul 31 03:11:21 2005 From: jushen at gmail.com (Jung-Tsung Shen) Date: Sun, 31 Jul 2005 00:11:21 -0700 Subject: [OS X TeX] WARMFigTo"EPS"?

I had missed the previous discussion. I just reviewed the archives and I cannot find an explanation why the developer doesn't simply map title -> booktitle. Why create a dummy field in the parent? The 'linked' information displayed when looking at a child's record isn't from the child at all, but from the parent. The whole idea of a crossref in bibtex is to bring the information missing from the child's entry from the parent's entry.

See this message for an explanation; the behavior is a workaround for a BibTeX bug, and we implemented it based on requests from crossref users.

There a binary (from Ghostscript?) called (surprisingly) pdf2ps that converts PDF to PS. You could then use ps2epsi to finish the job. Have you tried doing this? It would be easy to write a script to do this. In any event, I will send you some old versions of WARMFigToPDF after I figure which ones to send. -- Gary --------------------- Info --------------------- Mac-TeX Website: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ & FAQ: http://latex.yauh.de/faq/ TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq List Post:
