Berry" Date: Sat, 17 Jan 1998 15:40:59 -0500 (EST) Subject: modes 3.3 available I have released version 3.3 of modes.mf. You can get it by anonymous ftp from ftp://ftp.tug.org/tex/modes.mf ftp://ftp.cs.umb.edu/pub/tex/modes.mf and shortly from any CTAN site in /tex-archive/fonts/modes/modes-3.3.mf. finger ctan@tug.org for a list of all the CTAN sites and mirrors. News: New mode for the LaserJet 5, various alias name and dpi corrections. As always, thanks to the many contributors, and further additions and improvements are welcome. Please send bug reports or suggestions to tex-fonts@math.utah.edu (email tex-fonts-request to join). General information: modes.mf is a collection of Metafont mode_def's. It also makes common definitions for write/white printers, `special' information, and landscape mode. It uses up too much memory for the table sizes in the original mf.web, so you either have to increase the sizes (as in Web2c) or rename the file and remove unneeded modes. I don't understand mf.web well enough to understand how to make the modes use less memory; if some Metafont hacker can tell me, I'd very much like to hear it. If you have mode_def's which are not listed below, or corrections to the existing ones, please send them to me. Improvements to the exposition, particularly in how to create a new mode_def, are also welcome. kb@cs.umb.edu mode_def agfafzz = % AGFA 400PS (406dpi) mode_def agfatfzz = % AGFA P3400PS (400dpi)

------------------------------ From: myers@umich.edu Date: Sat Jan 24 14:52:40 EST 1998 Subject: TeXsis 2.17 is now available TeXsis Version 2.17 Released ============================== The latest version the TeXsis macro package is now available, either from CTAN:/macros/texsis or directly from the TeXsis ftp site at ftp://lifshitz.ph.utexas.edu/texsis/. TeXsis is a Plain TeX macro package which provides useful features for typesetting research papers and related documents, such as: * Automatic numbering of equations, figures, tables and references; * Simplified control of type sizes, line spacing, footnotes, running headlines and footlines, and tables of contents, figures and tables; * Specialized document formats for research papers, preprints and "e-prints," conference proceedings, theses, books, referee reports, letters, and memoranda; * Simplified means of constructing an index for a book or thesis; * Easy to use double column formatting; * Specialized environments for lists, theorems and proofs, centered or non-justified text, and listing computer code; * Specialized macros for easily constructing ruled tables; TeXsis was originally developed for physicists, but others may also find it useful. It is completely compatible with Plain TeX. --- The most notable changes or additions to TeXsis in this version are: * All bug fixes from patches to TeXsis 2.16 are included in TeXsis 2.17 (they were all pretty minor). * Support for using BibTeX to extract references from bibliographic databases (it's easier to use than in LaTeX!). * The ability to change the colors in PostScript output, which is useful for making overhead transparencies. (The style file color.txs is a functional superset of colordvi.sty, but also lets you push/pop the PostScript color stack.) * The less used form letter macros have been moved to a style file, Formletr.txs. * It is now possible to print an envelope for a letter, simply by adding \withEnvelope to the beginning of the manuscript file. * The internal format of the .aux file has been changed. Users shouldn't notice this, but it will allow the use of tools and packages that use this file (such as BibTeX) that were formerly only available in LaTeX. * The manual has been improved. The installation instructions have been slightly updated. The Makefile has been updated to match the now common TeX Directory Structure. * Many other small additions and improvements. Those of you who have been using the beta version of 2.17 in the past few months will find little changed, except that the manual has recently been updated to match earlier changes to the source code. We plan on introducing macros for hyperTeX in a later release, although some support already exists (but is not yet documented). --- To make it easier for the casual reader of electronic preprints ("e-prints") to print a TeXsis document we have also put all of the core TeXsis macros into one source file (called mtexsis.tex), with all the comments and blank lines removed. A reader who does not have TeXsis on her/his system can then simply get this file, add "\input mtexsis" to the manuscript file, and then process the paper with Plain TeX. You can make your own e-print manuscript files automatically load mtexsis.tex if it is needed by adding the following line at the beginning of the manuscript file: \ifx\undefined\TeXsis \input mtexsis.tex\fi It is suggested that you try running such a manuscript through Plain TeX with mtexsis.tex first to make sure that it works. --- As always, comments, suggestions, and bug reports are welcomed, and can be sent to us at: texsis@lifshitz.ph.utexas.edu. If you would like to join the TeXsis mailing list, just drop us an e-mail note to that effect at the same address. If you received this message via the mailing list but do not want to be on the list then just send us a note and we will take you off. We only maintain the list to send out notices about TeXsis, we don't give the list out to anybody else.

Dear Colleague -- A final reminder that the Call for Papers for TUG'98 closes this week. Papers received after 30th January are very unlikely to be considered, so I urge anyone considering offering a paper or poster session to communicate with the Programme Committee with maximum urgency. The 1998 TeX User Group conference, TUG'98 will take place in Torun, Poland, between 17th and 21st August 1998. The theme of the conference is "Integrating TeX with the Surrounding World", and papers which specifically address that theme will be most welcome, although papers on any topic which is relevant to TeX, typography, and/or electronic publishing will be considered. If you are considering proposing a paper or offering a poster session, please be aware that the last date for receipt of proposals is 30th January 1998. Further details are available from the TUG'98 web pages: http://www.tug.org/tug-98/ (general information) http://www.tug.org/tug-98/call.html (call for papers) If for any reason the TUG server is down, the same documents can be found at: http://www.rhbnc.ac.uk/tug-98/ (general information) http://www.rhbnc.ac.uk/tug-98/call.html (call for papers) Philip Taylor, Chairman: TUG'98 Programme Committee P.S. Apologies if you receive more than one copy of this message: it is being sent to all known TeX-related lists, and many of you may well be members of more than one such list. ------------------------------ About TeXhax...

The control sequence \next is effectively \let equal to tokens of first category 16, then 12, then 1. The construction \noexpand~ should be category 13 regardless of the definition of ~. \next should never be category 13, should it? And how can it have two different category codes at the same time? Maybe I'm just thick! I came across this because a wierd macro I was writing didn't work properly. There's a better way of writing the macro anyway (isn't there always?) but any explanation of what's going on would be much appreciated.

What is true is that the construction will expand to a token of category 13, whose expansion (in this expansion step) is suppressed. But \ifcat does not only test for the category of character tokens, as you clearly know. You wrote \ifcat \bgroup\noexpand\next \bgroup is a command token and as such has no category. However it is \let to a character token, and in the case of a command being so let \ifcat tests the category of the implicit token. This also applies to active characters. a ~ that is \let to a 0 is the same as \xxx that is let to a 0 they will both be \ifcat (and \if) equal to 0. so \ifcat\noexpand~\noexpand\next \message{13}\fi \ifcat 0\noexpand\next \message{12}\fi are both testing the same thing, so both are true. You can distinguish between them with \ifx if you want. The last case is similar if you \let~\bgroup then \ifcat\noexpand~\noexpand\next \message{13}\fi \ifcat \bgroup\noexpand\next \message{ 1}\fi are the same thing, as in each case the first non expandable token after the \ifcat is \let equal to a { and so \next is tested against the category of the implicit { token.

Character tokens have a category, and active characters have category 13. This is not how \ifcat works. It expands until it gets two unexpandables, and then looks that the meanings of the unexpandables. If both are, say, > alignment tab character ? where ? need not be the same in both cases, the \ifcat is true. All clear so far? Now let's look at \noexpand. If a token is expandable (a macro, an \if command, \the, and some others listed in Chapter 20 of the TeXbook) then the \noexpand promotes that instance of the to \relax. But if it is not expandable, then the \noexpand has no effect. Exercise: What happens when you type a) \expandafter \show \noexpand & b) \expandafter \show \noexpand \relax c) \expandafter \show \noexpand \ifcase d) \expandafter \show \noexpand \temp e) \expandafter \show \noexpand ~ Once you have mastered this, all should be clear. (The answer to (d) and (e) will depend on the current meaning of \temp and |~|, of course.)

The body of the catalogue has a 3-column design (courtesy of multicol), mostly using a 7-point font. I want the front matter to be more friendly, with more white space. So I want to do it in a single column, in a 10-point font. For consistency between the front matter and the body ("the same grid") - -- and to keep to readability conventions which limit the number of characters per line -- I want the single column in the front matter to align with the outer two columns in the body. I tried approaching this by saying that, within the 10 pages or so of front matter, I want: * \oddsidemargin to be temporarily bigger than it is in the rest of the catalogue * \textwidth (or \linewidth?) to be temporarily smaller than it is in the rest of the catalogue. The LaTeX book (page 181) says that anomalies may occur if one tries to change such things in the middle of a document. So it isn't surprising that this approach gave unwanted side-effects. (My page footer got shifted sideways.) I got the visual effect I wanted by fiddling with \hspace and minipage, so that each page in the front matter contained a minipage (whose width equalled that of the outer two columns in the body), with the minipages on odd-numbered pages pushed outwards with \hspace. But this gives maintenanace problems. (If the text changes next year, I'll have to re-do the manual fiddling.) Can anyone suggest a satisfactory way of getting a few consecutive pages with: * a larger inner margin than the rest of the publication * a correspondingly narrower text-width than the rest of the publication.

General information: modes.mf is a collection of Metafont mode_def's. It also makes common definitions for write/white printers, `special' information, and landscape mode. It uses up too much memory for the table sizes in the original mf.web, so you either have to increase the sizes (as in Web2c) or rename the file and remove unneeded modes. I don't understand mf.web well enough to understand how to make the modes use less memory; if some Metafont hacker can tell me, I'd like to hear it.

Watson Research Center ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Aug 1998 14:40:03 -0400 (EDT) From: Karl Berry Subject: modes.mf 3.4 available I have released version 3.4 of modes.mf. You can get it by anonymous ftp from ftp://tug.org/tex/modes.mf and shortly from any CTAN site in /tex-archive/fonts/modes/modes-3.4.mf. finger ctan@ctan.org for a list of all the CTAN sites and mirrors. News: New modes for the Phaser 560, Lexmark Optra S 1250/1650/2450, LaserJet 4000 FastRes, and one pixel/pt output. Various formatting glitches fixed. As always, thanks to the many contributors, and further additions and improvements are welcome. Please send bug reports or suggestions to tex-fonts@math.utah.edu (email tex-fonts-request to join). General information: modes.mf is a collection of Metafont mode_def's. It also makes common definitions for write/white printers, `special' information, and landscape mode. It uses up too much memory for the table sizes in the original mf.web, so you either have to increase the sizes (as in Web2c) or rename the file and remove unneeded modes. I don't understand mf.web well enough to understand how to make the modes use less memory; if some Metafont hacker can tell me, I'd like to hear it. If you have mode_def's which are not listed below, or corrections to the existing ones, please send them to me. Improvements to the exposition, particularly in how to create a new mode_def, are also welcome. kb@tug.org mode_def agfafzz = % AGFA 400PS (406dpi) mode_def agfatfzz = % AGFA P3400PS (400dpi) mode_def

It's a bit difficult to know what to say: there are lots of mf files at CTAN. DVI drivers need *something* to print with: pk files are one sort of file that's useful. Some dvi drivers can also use Postscript Type 1 and TrueType founts directly. Do you mean `tfm' when you say `mtf'? > 2) I have the .amf file, but not the .ps to get .pk Do you mean `afm' when you say `amf'? > Sometimes I have got to compile something with TeX --I can't say >exactly >how :-(( --, but I never can see or print the .dvi file. [snip] It sounds like you're trying to use non-Metafont founts with TeX (normally PS Type 1 founts). There are lots of files at CTAN to allow you to use PS Type 1 founts with TeX, but in most cases the founts concerned are commercial products which you have to buy from a firm that sells founts. You might find it useful to ask this question on comp.text.tex. Rowland. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Aug 1998 17:43:00 +0200 From: Rosa Maria Gomez Flores Subject: .pk files?

I'm trying MetaFont, I work on Windows NT, I have WinZip and the file mf.zip from GTEX in the CTAN. When I expand the zip file, I get some files and directories (the mf.exe says: "This is METAFONT, Version 2.718 (gTeX distribution 2.2)", and prompt: **). In the mfbase directory, there are to MSDOS-macros, cm.bat and plain.bat, to create the base files. But when I try them, give me the error: ! I can't read mf.pool. And that it because I have only a "mf.poo" file, but when I rename or copy it into mf.pool, they still give me the same error. It is the same if I copy it in the directory of the file mf.exe. Does anyone of you know how to get the base files, or the .pool file or another MetaFont version that run under MS-DOS or Windows NT? Please, please, tell me any idea that could help me to begin!

Only 2 things bug me, and I'm sure they are both easily fixed. I would like to print double-sided, so that when you look "though" the sheet the edges of the text are aligned on either side. I don't mind if this is achieved by centering both sides exactly in the middle, or by shifting each side in the "same" direction (this is the preferable solution for me). No matter how much I fiddle (as I say, I've been trying to do this for many many months) I can't seem to manage to do it. The printer I have is an HP550c, and as the HP5xx printers are at least reasonably popular I'm hoping that someone else in the world has tried to do the same as me. I've searched the Internet and Usenet loads of times, and am resorting to making my first post to this group. Can anyone help ? I would have thought that this kind of alignment would be the default, but it has been like this since I installed... I'm also a little confused by the load of packages that claim to be the best at fixing margins. Which is the current leader ? And the second problem. I have lots of packages I load for each document ; graphicx,epsfig,fancyhdr,amsfonts,amssymb,amsmath,amstext, wrapfig,ifthen,fancybox,varioref,caption2,ulem,placeins Is this normal ? Is it possible to create a new format file containing all these adjustments ? I've tried mylatex, but it seems very much like a "kludge" and I *always* run out of memory after maybe 5 pages and 2 or 3 figures/tables when using mylatex making it impossible to use for most of my work.
