Hi. I want to use MetaFONT to produce a greyed-out logo to use as a watermark: the sort of illustration which appears throught The METAFONTbook, particularly in Chapter 4: Pens, gives great cause for hope. Appendix H remarks that the illustrations in the book were produced with GFtoDVI. I can generate whatever hardcopy proofs I want using MF and GFtoDVI but I can't see how to produce a TeX document which includes grayed-out shapes. Fiddling around with scissors and glue seems too un-Knuthian to be plausible. If I understand how .dvi works, the gray font characters used by GFtoDVI have already been placed in a particular point on each page. This conflicts with the idea of a document independently placing an illustration on a page. I've obviously missed something. I would be pleased if someone could offer some guidance.

This is their bibliography entry style: Ager, D. D. and Dewey, W.C., 1990, Calibration of pulsed field gel electrophoresis...... {\em International Journal of Radiation Biology}, 58, 249-259. What I can currently achieve using the named.bst (from the harvard family) is: [Ager and Dewey, 1990] D.D. Ager and W.C. Dewey. Title. {\em Journal}, 58, 249-259. When the reference is called in the text, it nicely come as [Ager and Dewey 1990] or, if the authors are more than two, as [Ager {\em et al.} 1990] which works fine. It also does 1990a and 1990b if Ager and Dewey wrote two papers that year. As I am not a great expert of bibliography styles, I ask you if there is any style which satisfies the requirements of IJRB above or what should I do to change named.bst in that direction. thanks in advance, Massimo - ----------------------------------------------------- Chi addimanna nun fa errore Quando sei indeciso, meglio chiedere If you are not sure, you'd better ask - ----------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ End of TeXhax Digest V1999 #1 ***************************** About TeXhax...

Tables also have to be put at the end of the journal, all together, but they are printed with their caption. One way to produce such a format from the one in which the paper will appear is to move all the figures to the end, same for the tables, and move captions accordingly.

Version 22 of xdvi makes the following changes from version 21: o Support for Motif. o Support for displays with more than one visual, and a -noinstall command line option to disable it. o Support for installing a private colormap (-install command line option). o Configuration via a script generated by a modified GNU autoconf. o An option to select the "x11alpha" driver when using Ghostscript to display PostScript specials. o Dimension arguments may now be given in terms of any of the TeX units (pt, pc, in, bp, cm, mm, dd, cc, or sp). o XDVISIZES values may now be of the form m0, m0.5, etc., signifying magsteps. o Handle rotated bounding boxes correctly when not showing PostScript. o Allow the shrink factor to be automatically selected on the command line. o Change -hushspecials to -warnspecials, and suppress warnings about undefined specials by default. A more detailed list of the changes is available at the xdvi web page, http://math.berkeley.edu/~vojta/xdvi.html There is also a version of xdvi, called xdvik, that incorporates Karl Berry's kpathsea library for path searching. In addition, xdvik supports hypertex support and support for Omega. Version numbers of xdvik track those of xdvi, and version 22 of xdvik is now also available.

LaTeX2e and MS-products. Dear collegues, a hot topic now. I do research in a place where people around me prefer to use Microsoft Word and things related to it. I have been a LaTeX user for several years and have many reasons to stick with it. Nevertheless, my boss would like me to have my papers and eventually my Ph.D. thesis in a format that a Microsoft user can read, not just a nice printed copy of my work. It is not just the final version, when we write something together or whenever he makes corrections to my writings we need to exchange files in a "friendly way". I use the MiKTeX distribution (LaTeX2e) together with WinEdt on a W95 based computer. My question now is: What can I do to fulfil the above requirement? I have tried TeX to RTF but my understanding is that it does not do much for LaTeX2e commands, I have also tried to see whether TeXtoHTML would work but I have the impression that this package is conceived for UNIX. PDF is an option but then you should capture the text manually from the PDF file and put into MS-Word....I can't ask my boss to do that.

It is the best way to convert any graphics formats to EPS before inclusion: this is exact and most conservative, while permitting a clean handling of ASCII data. Unless there are special needs due to printer drivers which have their own (hardware-specific) way to deal with a restricted collection of image formats, the EPS as canonical format is optimal. A previewer which is clever and useful is able to show a TIFF, JPEG or whatever bitmap file which is stored under the same name like the EPS. Scalable previews (for vector images of course) are only possible in WMF format, which moreover cannot be separated from the EPSF (thus becoming a binary file). > Does anyone know of any packages that allow me to use raw > JPEG/GIF/TIF files within LaTeX documents? Use jpeg2ps from Thomas Merz to include a JPEG unchanged (no decompression & re-compression) into a PS level 2 EPS. Imagemagic can deal with TIFF but this is indeed quite inefficent since it doesn't provide the PS level 2 compressors LZW nor CCITT. EPS files are not per se much bigger than the most compact bitmaps but this depends crucial on the software used. Rather a typical B/W EPS is around half the size of the identical GIF at high res. > Any help gratefully received.

I guess I must have ink in my veins. @String{pub-CSLI = "CSLI Publications"} @String{pub-CSLI:adr = "Stanford, CA, USA"} @Book{Knuth:1999:DT, author = "Donald E.

While previous editions of several Adobe PostScript books had a distinctive spine, with red at the top, and white at the bottom, this new one unfortunately has a black spine, with red and white lettering, making it harder to spot on a bookshelf. The cover retains the old red/white style. Although Apple and Xante have been shipping printers with Level 3 support for more than two years, Hewlett-Packard (visit them at http://www.hp.com/go/printers) only in the last few months, with the new HP Color LaserJet 8500, offers such support, and the number two printer vendor, Lexmark, has yet to do so. @String{pub-AW = "Ad{\-d}i{\-s}on-Wes{\-l}ey"} @String{pub-AW:adr = "Reading, MA, USA"} @Book{Adobe:1999:PLR, author = "{Adobe Systems Incorporated}", title = "{PostScript} Language Reference", publisher = pub-AW, address = pub-AW:adr, edition = "Third", pages = "xii + 897", year = "1999", ISBN = "0-201-37922-8", LCCN = "QA76.73.P67 P67 1999", bibdate = "Sat May 08 07:43:15 1999", price = "US\$49.95, CDN\$74.95", acknowledgement = ack-nhfb, } - -------------------------------- Entries for these books, and related publications, can be found in the bibliography archives at ftp://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/master.* ftp://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/postscri.* ftp://ftp.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/texbook3.* http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/index-table-m.html#master http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/index-table-p.html#postscri http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/index-table-t.html#texbook3 The master Web page for these collections can be found at http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/index-table.html with brief journal tables-of-contents at http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/toc/ and extensive cross-referenced journal article indexes at http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/idx/index.html These collections are mirrored regularly to several other Internet archives, include the huge Karlsruhe Computer Science archive at http://liinwww.ira.uka.de/bibliography/ That page includes pointers to eight mirror sites around the globe.

My main problem is that I cannot make TtH find my bibliographic entries, it is issuing error messages as: no bibcite for "Pinto98" no bibcite for "Pinto99" and whatever the "key" is. My .aux and .bbl files are in the same directory as my .tex file is, and when I run LaTeX od PDFTeX my document comes out fine. I think it is something that I am missing with TtH. Also, it does not convert EPS to GIF, when instructed to do so. Any suggestion?

The group is very grateful to the School of Cognitive and Computing Sciences of the University of Sussex at Brighton, for hosting this `temporary' service for four years! Now, at last, the group is pleased to announce that a `final' home for the FAQ has been established, in association with the CTAN node at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory: http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?introduction=yes The sources, and readily-printable copies, of the FAQ remain on CTAN in directory usergrps/uktug/faq At present the interactive FAQ offers exactly the same facilities as it always has, but there are plans to develop new facilities to further enhance the FAQ's utility. The FAQ is under constant development, and in particular a new printed version is in preparation. The UK TeX Users' Group would very much welcome contributions at this time. Comments, suggestions and error reports concerning the FAQ should be addressed to the current maintainer, via uktug-faq@tex.ac.uk ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 May 1999 14:39:42 +0100 From: Robin Fairbairns Subject: New nonfree/ hierarchy on CTAN The CTAN team have been concerned, for some time, about the copyright status of the material held on the CTAN archives. In the course of preparation of the latest TeX Live disc, Sebastian Rahtz compiled a list of the licence status of many available packages, and it is the CTAN team's intention to extend that list to as full coverage of the archive holdings as is possible. In parallel with this work, we have instituted a new hierarchy on CTAN, called nonfree/; it is our intention to move all items, for which there are significant distribution restrictions, to that hierarchy. STRUCTURE The nonfree hierarchy mimics the structure of the main part of CTAN; there are (or may in the future be) sub-hierarchies nonfree/biblio, /fonts, /graphics, /indexing, /language, /support, /systems and /web For each entry in the non-free hierarchy, there is a corresponding entry in the main part of CTAN, which is a symbolic link to the nonfree/ hierarchy. Since CTAN does not index symbolic links, the only appearance that a non-free item makes in the FILES.* files is its instance on the nonfree/ hierarchy. The `quote site index' command uses FILES.byname, so that it will always tell you if the item you're seeking is not free. CRITERIA Licensing conditions that CTAN currently recognises are listed in http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/licenses.html In the terms defined therein, the nonfree/ tree will hold items whose licensing is unknown, nocommercial, nosell, shareware, or other. Notes: 1. CTAN cannot hold matter whose distribution is restricted, anyway: the archive has no control over what its mirrors might do. This is why there is no category `nodistribute'. 2. The `nonfree' licensing category nosource _does_ stay in the main CTAN tree; there are usable items on CTAN whose source is not publicly available, but which are nevertheless freely usable and distributable by all and sundry. 3. We need to treat unknown licenses as nonfree, because of the legal situation in many countries that one is obliged to assume that an author would not wish his/her propertty to be treated as if it were in the public domain. We have, as yet, moved nothing of category unknown to the nonfree/ hierarchy; we will be doing that job later in the year. THE FUTURE The CTAN team are slowly moving items to the nonfree/ hierarchy. This process may be expected to accelerate during the course of this year; in particular, one may expect items of category unknown to be moved starting next month (June 1999). If *you* are an author who has not responded to an enquiry about the status of your stuff on CTAN, we urge you to release a new version which makes its licensing status clear, and to upload that version to CTAN in the usual way (see README.uploads on any CTAN site). Don't forget to mail ctan@urz.uni-heidelberg.de -- uploads don't get acted upon without such a message. If you don't do this, and we don't otherwise deduce the status of your stuff, it is liable to be moved to the nonfree/ hierarchy, and to disappear from future CD distirbutions of TeX. OTHER INFORMATION While CTAN is _not_ enforcing an open-source policy, we recommend sites such as http://www.opensource.org/osd.html for discussion of the issues behind software licensing. ------------------------------ End of TeXhax Digest V1999 #6 ***************************** About TeXhax...

The files are bundled into either psibycus.tgz or psibycus.zip, to suit the convenience of both the elect and the infidel. This is a preliminary release, because the font is still largely unhinted. I will ultimately provide a rather thorough set of hints, since the primary purpose for making up this font was to get away from the crude bitmap scaling that is all you can get out of PDF readers. Hinting, however, is even worse than filing matrices. It is a soul-destroying bore, and I cannot do very much of it at any given session. The absence of hints will not be noticed at resolutions of 600dpi and above. The font has a private UniqueID in the open range for now, but a registered UniqueID will be applied for. The original METAFONT realization of ibycus4 remains the controlling form of the font. The TeX user will see absolutely no difference in the set-widths of the Type1 font because the TFM file for it is exactly the same as the TFM file for the METAFONT version. (In a Unix environment, they could be joined by hard or symbolic links.) The Type1 control points have been derived from METAFONT log output generated by "tracingspecs". This is not impossible, as has sometimes been claimed, but it does take work. The bundle consists of: 1. IbycusHTG-Regular.pfa ( = fibr.pfa = IBYHTGR_.PFB ). The character designs are Silvio Levi's. Some small differences in accent positioning and vertical positioning on the classic METAFONT typeface grid have been allowed. My own lowercase lunate sigma has been improved. These changes will ultimately be read back into the ibycus4 METAFONT source. 2. fibr.tfm (identical with fibr84.tfm). The use of the Type1 font is specified by calling on fibr, rather than fibr84. Obliqued and bold versions of the font are still exclusively METAFONT. They will continue to be invoked as fibo84[89]? and fibb84[89]? until I make up Type1 versions of them (if I ever do). 3. fibr.vf, which serves to provide a reference into a dvips map file. The raw TFM for this VF file is fibr84.tfm, which has the interesting effect of making METAFONT generated PK files a fail-safe alternative when the dvips map lookup fails. The checksums for fibr.tfm fibr84.tfm and fibr.vf are identical. This is arbitrary, since fibr.vf has integer escapement values rounded from the METAFONT values in the tfm files. 4. config.iby and iby.map.

Gouvea" Subject: inverse limit symbol I've been trying to make an "inverse limit" symbol. This should be a usual lim, with a left-pointing arrow under it, and it should be a "math operator with limits", that is, one should be able to write something like \ilim_n and get lim <-- n with, of course, the right spacing and so on. I've been trying to build on LaTeX with the AMS macros to do this. So far, my attempts have come out pretty bad. The first was \DeclareMathOperator*{\ilim}{\underleftarrow{\mathrm{lim}}} which puts the arrow far too close to the "lim". Plus, the arrow doesn't come out straight! Then I tried something like this: \newcommand{\ilim}[1]{% \displaystyle{% \lim_{\genfrac{}{}{0pt}{}{\longleftarrow}{\scriptstyle #1}} }\;} which sort of does it by brute force (and requires the "wrong" syntax \ilim{n}, but I can live with that). The arrow doesn't look right, however: it seems to be broken in the middle. Before I spend more time on this, I thought I'd check... perhaps someone out there has already solved it.

[none] TUGboat 20(2) shipped to printer this date ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 27 Aug 1999 21:59:58 -0700 From: mackay@cs.washington.edu (Pierre MacKay) Subject: "root kit" invasion of servers. During the past two weeks, we have learned of a cascade of assaults on Unix server systems, especially Solaris systems, by the consortium of brilliant programmers in the "root kit" enterprise. There is no way to avoid the suggestion that SUN Microsystems ought to have been sharper about their vulnerability. Most of us knew about "root kit" at least a year ago. This message, however, is aimed not at at at the feckless quality managers at SUN, but at the self-righteous programmers who support "root kit". You guys are brilliant. Compared with the hackers who attack MicroSlush systems, you belong in another realm altogether. But you have never thought through the implications of what you are doing. My little FTP site has no commercial effect whatsoever, but I cannot keep it open as a Trojan horse access to the equally public-spirited network through which it used to communicate. You claim that you intend to shut down voracious corporate networks by making it too risky to keep them open. What you have achieved, at least in my case, is the termination of a service which was offered absolutely freely to all users. Because you have made network access to the software which I was delighted to offer freely to all users a way of destroying the entire network system, I can no longer offer that access. You claim that your activities are inspired by the highest moral standards. Maybe they are, but I would like to hear from you just what those standards are. You have made it impossible for me to distribute free software, and it looks as if you will manage to shut off more than half the remaining distributions of free software. The top echelons of the software industry will not be affected at all. They knew you were there, and they could afford to defend themselves against against you. We can't afford it, and because of your activities, we can't even go on distributing the free software we formerly offered. IS THIS REALLY WHAT YOU INTENDED? It is virtually certain that one of the "root kit" team will read this message. You know better than anyone else how to disguise the origin of a mail message. I would like to hear from one of you just why you think the termination of the growing habit of free distribution of Unix software is a crime that you are willing to suppress with all the energy you can muster. - -- Email: mackay@cs.washington.edu Pierre A.

This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -------- ------4200FFD12F19FC6621DD5D1B Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi Everybody, I am using "\usepackage{times}" within a document in order to use outline fonts. But, the fonts used in math mode are not affected by this and are still included as bitmap fonts. So, here is my question: What is the "cheapest" way to use outline fonts in math mode? I tried the following, which works in principle: \SetSymbolFont{operators}{normal}{OT1}{ptm}{m}{n} \SetSymbolFont{operators}{bold}{OT1}{ptm}{bx}{n} \SetSymbolFont{letters}{normal}{OT1}{ptm}{m}{it} \SetSymbolFont{letters}{bold}{OT1}{ptm}{bx}{it} But unfortunately, I don't know which font to specify for the symbols: \SetSymbolFont{symbols}{...}{...}{...}{...}{...} how could the above line look like? Another problem is that the character mapping is somewhat different, i.e. I get "," (in my document) mapped to ";" (in the print-out). So, what is the correct way to typeset math in lets say times italic? Can anybody help me, please? Thanks in advance!

The medline `entry' comes with a lot of useful fields, such as full abstract and notes, keywords etc, good to keep in your own database for future search. The thing is that, although useful, I don't want the `Note' category to appear in the bbl file, for example because the full author's address is there and I don't need it in my list of references.. Do I set this manually in the bib file (I have tried putting an asterisk `note*' in it but without success) or is it a bibliography style issue?

This is fine, but causes a problem under some circumstan= ces: The title of a chapter of my document contains the german word "Ma=DFe" (which means something like "measurement"). Since the german sharp s "=DF= " is not available in uppercase, LaTeX maps it to "ss". This would be O.K. in principle,but the result is the word "Masse" which has a completely different meaning (it means "mass"). This is not acceptable! I solution I could live with would be to print the sharp s "=DF" as it is= , even it would be a single lowercase letter in between uppercase letters. How can I achieve this? (It is not sufficient to type \textrm{\3}!) Does anybody has an idea ? Thanks in advance!

I am trying to use throughout a book two-line headings and footings in *plain TeX* coding. The current one-line \headline and \footline instructions work perfectly. The difficulty arises when trying to add an horizontal rule across the pages below the headlines and one on top of the footlines. Is there is simple way to code this? The various combinations of \hrulefill and \break I tried failed so far. Thanks in advance for any tip on how to solve the issue.
