(GUTenberg is the TeX Users Group of French speaking people) The main topic is : "How include graphics within TeX output ?" This topic starts with graphics made in TeX (like PicTeX), continues with the \special TeX command and ends with MetaFONT, PostSCRIPT, etc. This is a very large subject opened to all aspects of graphics/methods and all micro/mini/maxi computers. Official language is French but English speakers are welcome. Deadline for submitting an abstract : Christmas 88 Other deadlines will be sent after abstract acceptation. Please, send abstracts directly to me : UCIR001@FRORS31.BITNET Bernard GAULLE (GUTenberg president) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 15-DEC-1988 10:12:13.82 From: RADFORD@FRGAG51 Subject: Macro documentation: EXAMPLES please Keywords: macros Macro authors, would you please include a small example file in your documentation? This should illustrate the very basic operation of the package, the same way Knuth's story.tex does for TeX (or sample.ltx does for LaTeX). In additon an example file would provide a quick check the package has been received and installed correctly. This occured to me this morning as I looked through J. E. Pittman's Cellular.TeX macros from TeXhax.88.103. It seems the package has some nice features I could use, but it's also clear it will take me a couple of hours to figure out enough to get a simple test out of the printer. I simply don't have this sort of time to invest in every bunch of macros I see, and I imagine much of the TeXhax readership also has similar constraints. So please, include an example. ***************** Note new telephone numbers 4 August 1988 ***************** %=========================================================================== Simon J. E.

If so, would someone be willing to send me a VMS (4.6, but I'll take any VMS version and hack out the inconstancies) tape of it and the appropriate font files to make it work (DO NOT assume we have them -- our TeX setup here was incomplete when we got it, and constructed by a brain-dead moron (me).)

KEMPKEC@CARLETON.EDU ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Dec 88 13:41 CST From: Dick Brown Subject: Manualfeed with Arbortext dvilaser Keywords: dviware I am aware of how to specify manual feed on the Apple Laserwriter using Arbortext's dvips program dvilaser, namely \special{ps::[global] statusdict begin /manualfeed true def end} inserted in the TeX source. However, manual feeding is the kind of feature which should be independent of the TeX source, i.e. the .dvi file shouldn't have to know that the paper will be fed manually. Does anyone know of a way to specify manual feed on the Laserwriter using Arbortext's software without inserting the above line or something similar in the TeX source?

The bug occurs in the FixToDVI routine (in the FontReader module) and only rears its ugly head if a font has a scaled size >= 128pt. (FixToDVI is called ConvertTFMWidth in versions < 2.0). Here is a correct Modula-2 version of FixToDVI (in fontreade.mod): PROCEDURE FixToDVI (b0, b1, b2, b3 : CARDINAL) : INTEGER; (* Convert the given fixword (made up of 4 bytes) into DVI units using the method recommended in DVITYPE. *) VAR alpha, beta, s : CARDINAL; temp : INTEGER; BEGIN s := currfont^.scaledsize; (* so we don't change scaledsize! *) alpha := 16 * s; beta := 16; WHILE s >= 40000000B DO (* 2^23sp = 128pt *) s := s DIV 2; beta := beta DIV 2; END; temp := (((((b3 * s) DIV 400B) + (b2 * s)) DIV 400B) + (b1 * s)) DIV beta; ... etc ... If you are using the Pyramid Pascal versions you need to make a similar change to the FixToDVI routine in fontreader.p. The reward for the next bug found has been doubled to \$\char48.

Is this a bug in the font or metafont or what? Or am I wrong in supposing that an i's dot should necessarily be symmetrical? Is this a long known problem or non-problem? Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: 15-DEC-1988 09:10:03 GMT From: FPS@VAXA.CC.IMPERIAL.AC.UK Subject: Czech accent Keywords: TeX \def\uu{\accent'27u} will give you an accented u whenever required. i've tended to use \uu as an analogy with \aa (i.e. a letter that shape), rather than create an accent which can then be used over any letter, but obviously that is another approach. malcolm clark --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Tue, 13 Dec 88 19:21 N From: (Johannes) Subject: Font request (UNIVERS 65 and UNIVERS 55) Keywords: fonts Hi all, As some of you out there may know, the Dutch PTT is being converted into a private business instead of being part of the government. Part of the process is the developmen of a new, so called "house-style". In order for our LaTeX users to keep making documents in LaTeX we are in need of two fonts (families?) called UNIVERS 65 and UNIVERS 55. Does anyone know if there exists a METAFONT source for these? Or are they available in PostScript form? Anyone who can help me, please respond directly to me, if I get some interesting replies I'll summarize for the list.

It is doubtless for a very good reason and connected with what Barbara Beeton asked DEK about the minus sign height recently. Can BB comment? b) between a number and its units a \thinspace is conventional. c) a $\mu$ is sloping because Greek slopes in lowercase. You *could* have an upright $\mu$ but it would look as odd as the italic pounds-sterling sign does in LaTeX (LL have you fixed that yet?) where it should be upright. Best bet is to find someone with a Hewlett Packard soft font with an upright $\mu$ and use HP2TEX to make yourself a special font+tfm pair. Maybe Glyphix? ...Peter Flynn ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 16 Dec 88 22:56:19 PDT From: Tomas G. Rokicki Subject: PostScript specials Keywords: PostScript, \special I've added the following two specials to my PostScript driver for the Amiga, and I must say that *I* find them useful. Specifically, \special{"postscript code} copies everything following the double quote to the driver, after positioning correctly (horizontally *and* vertically) and opening a special `special' dictionary. (Note the lack of matching end quote.) \special{!postscript code} copies everything following the exclamation point similarly, but before anything else in the document, and after opening the special dictionary. The double-quote specials are bracketed by `save' and `restore'; the exclamation point specials are not. So you use the exclamation point specials to define macros that are used in your double quote macros. This makes it easy to enclose special PostScript graphics with a minimum of fuss and without all those extra external files. It also ensures that the macros work no matter what subset of the pages are printed.

Keywords: SliTEX Neither the LaTeX picture environment nor the PicTeX macro package appears to work in SliTeX. Has anyone remedied this or, failing a fix, can someone explain why it must be so? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 15 Dec 88 14:20 EDT From: Paul Davis Subject: Floating right hand figures Keywords: TeX Has anyone `succeeded' in getting Tom Reid's \rightinsert to work wih LaTeX over the last year or so ? To be honest, I'm having difficulty getting it to work with Plain, but that may be a function of my typing :-) Even better, has anyone developed a more general \insert, to do left or right hand side floats of any number of paragraphs deep ? I'd love to use \marginpar, but the book design I'm working too ("Addison-Wesley's house style' : huh - no such beast !) has no real marginal white space, and anyway, right hand floats would be wonderful for many other things... The idea, in case its not clear is: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx paragraph 1 xxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxxx figure paragraph 2 xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxx paragraph 3 xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Where the figure could take from 1 to n paragraphs, and gets floated if there isn't enough room on the current page.

Keywords: TeX Hello All, I am writing to TeXhax in the hope that someone will come to my assistance. My problem arises due to the use of photographs in a document. It is required that these photographs be refered to as PLATES, and that like FIGUREs and TABLEs in LaTeX, they be numbered accordingly, as well as the usual \listoffigures,\listoftables --- a similar facility is required for the plates. I assume the answer lies in obtaining the approprite definitions of TABLE and FIGURE and implementing a corrosponding version for PLATE. However I have been unsuccessful in my attempts to achieve this. All help would be most welcome..... Thank in advance....

For example, volitional-agent is used to represent a person or an institution. I've defined a macro \rep that expands directly to \tt. I did it this way because it would be easy to change it to typeset \rep terms in, say, capitals (another commonly used convention). \rep terms are used in normal sentences typeset in normal \rm font. My question is, how to I get LaTeX to allow normal hyphenation for \rep terms? \tt doesn't seem to want to hyphenate. This results in lines sticking way out of the right margin like this (if I use \fussy), or in underful lines stretched across the page like this if I use \sloppy. Thanks. -- Ashwin.

Kotz Subject: Problem with picture mode Keywords: LaTeX I have a problem with \makebox in LaTeX picture mode. The LaTeX book says that its reference point is the lower-left corner. I figure that if I use dimensions (0,0) and the default "pos" (which is horiz and vert centered), the object in my box would be centered on the point. The following example does not center the second and third circles correctly: \setlength{\unitlength}{10pt} \begin{picture}(50,50) \put(15,20){\line(1,0){10}} \put(20,15){\line(0,1){10}} \put(20,20){\circle{5}} % Centers fine \put(20,20){\makebox(0,0){\circle{3}}} % Too high \put(20,20){\makebox(0,0){\circle{.3}}} % Too far left \end{picture} This is LATEX VERSION 2.09 <26 Apr 1988> David Kotz Department of Computer Science, Duke University, Durham, NC 27706 ARPA: dfk@cs.duke.edu CSNET: dfk@duke UUCP: decvax!duke!dfk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: 15 DEC 88 16:23:43 From: Z3000PA%AWITUW01.BITNET@uwavm.acs.washington.edu Subject: New LaTeX manual (suggestions) Keywords: LaTeX Dear Dr.Lamport, I would like to give a few comments to your plan of a new LaTeX Manual. First of all, I like the present manual very much, indeed, -- far more than the TeXbook -- and I consider it an ideal guide for AUTHORS. However, I sometimes miss information needed by LAYOUT DESIGNERS. Therefore, I suggest that you split the manual into 2 parts or perhaps 2 separate volumes: one for authors, and the second one for layout designers. The AUTHORS' Manual should be just like the present manual (perhaps without the chapter `Designing it Yourself'). For the LAYOUT DESIGNERS' Manual, I suggest the following contents: - description of the LaTeX commands and layout parameters for `designing it yourself' - description of the files LATEX.TEX, ARTICLE.DOC, and ART10.DOC, perhaps similar to the description of PLAIN.TEX in appendix B of the TeXbook, or at least printing the comments that appear in those files - hints on how to define new layouts. This should include: - technical questions (style files, style option files, \ds@foo, etc.) - layout design decisions (e.g. why there is no \parindent after section headings, and how \textwidth, \textheight, \baselineskip etc. are related to each other and to the font size, etc. etc.) - LaTeX internal conventions (\makeatletter, \leftmargini, \@listi, \linewidth, etc.) - some examples, e.g.: - how to change `Chapter' and `Figure' and `Table of Contents' etc. and \today to the corresponding spanish words - how to define a `myfootings' page style - how to adjust the page layout for larger or smaller or taller paper sheets and some more. I hope that my ideas may be useful. If you don't find the time to write the second part, perhaps someone else might step in? (Therefore, I am publishing this letter via TEXHAX, too.) Sincerely, Hubert Partl, Technical University of Vienna, Austria (a LaTeX lover) Some time ago, several people asked for beginners' manuals on How to Design Document Layouts. I have found one book that looks very useful (and easy- to-read) to me: John Miles: ``Design for Desktop Publishing'' (Gordon Fraser, London, 1987, ISBN 0-86092-097-6) Happy TeXing and happy Layouting! Hubert Partl ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed, 14 Dec 88 23:55:46 gmt From: Bo Thide' Subject: UNIX style TeX processing? Keywords: UNIX, TeX I always had problems accepting UNIX TeX writing its dvi code to a disc file. In this respect, and a very few others, I prefer the troff/nroff way where you filter your text progressively through a set of pipes until it is processed enough to be sent to your screen previewer or printer spooler. Piping would be particularly convenient when using a previewer since the previewing process could start up as soon as there would be any dvi text available at the other end of the pipe. Whether this is best accomplished by changing the TeX code to write to stdout and then use a '|' or perhaps modify the code so that virtex and the previewer have access to the dvi code through shared memory I really don't know. Maybe a FIFO would do? I am sure many TeX'ers have thought about this and come up with a nice solution. If so, please tell me how you did it. This way I won't have to reinvent the infamous wheel again ... -Bo ^ Bo Thide'-------------------------------------------------------------- | | Swedish Institute of Space Physics, S-755 91 Uppsala, Sweden |I| [In Swedish: Institutet f\"or RymdFysik, Uppsalaavdelningen (IRFU)] |R| Phone: (+46) 18-403000.

Kamal Al-Yahya at Stanford University wrote a set of utilities called "textools", which I believe is on the UNIX TeX distribution tape, that includes a troff to LaTeX translator. This translator can handle -man macros and comes with some special LaTeX macros to emulate the -man .TP and other commands. Perhaps Paul could run a few UNIX man pages through this translator and use the output plus the special macros to put together a UNIX man style. If you don't have these "textools" macros, drop me a line and I can make them available for anonymous ftp.
