Also, Acrobat +Reader 5.06 chokes on some PDF files (while xpdf has no problems), +in particular the big ones like GoudyInitials; the PDF output has +been generated by Ghostscript 8.00. + +The same files are available on the WWW under the URL + + http://wwwcdf.pd.infn.it/MLO/ + +(follow the link to the directory "Initials"). + + Happy TeXing, MLO |
