For many years, TeXhax has operated as a digest: +questions posted to it accumulated into monthly (or less frequent) +digests which are circulated to the subscribers, with responses to the +questions becoming part of the next digest, and so on. This does +introduce a delay before questions are answered, which, as the quantity +of postings has dropped, seems to have become self-reinforcing, further +discouraging use of the list. + +As an experiment, I plan to remove this delay and circulate questions +and answers immediately to all subscribers. TeXhax will then operate as +a normal mailing list, though with the option of continuing to receive +it in digest format. The digests will continue to be available in the +usual locations and archives. You can change your subscription settings +via the Mailman web interface at +http://lists.nottingham.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/texhax + +You will need your list password before making changes but, if you have +forgotten it, you can request that your password be mailed to you via +the above web page. If you have any questions or requests please contact +me at texhax-admin@nottingham.ac.uk + +I hope that this change will make TeXhax more responsive to the needs of +its subscribers and encourage you to make use of it as a place to ask +and answer questions and make announcements on all TeX-related matters. + +With best wishes for a happy and prosperous 2002 + +David Osborne +University of Nottingham +-- TeXhax maintainer + +--__--__-- + +Message: 2 +From: Steve.Esson@esa.int +To: texhax@tex.ac.uk +Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2001 11:56:48 +0200 +Subject: font problems with new TEX installation + +I've installed a new version of Tex on the systems here for +the first time in about 10 years.

If not then use image B. Sound simple enough. +I can even do it in postscript. The problem is that when you distill +it the black and white stuff gets thrown away. I've not used pdftex +but as best as I can tell it supports the alternate image capabilities +of PDF. Does this give me what I want/need? All I've gotten so far is +the PDFTeX User Manual.

Register with the very early-lions *before the end of the year 2002* +and no later than April 9, 2003, to benefit from special conference and +accommodation rates. + +2) Make a donation, (however large or small) as a token of +appreciation for having TeX available to you as free software, and let +your colleagues and your bosses know about this meeting so that they too +can contribute towards the event, and to the future development of the TeX +family of programs. TeX is very much alive and doing well both as a +front-end for authors, and a back-end as a tool in the automated processes +that provide easy conversion to XML,PDF, HTML. + +3) Publishers, vendors, and other commercial users, developers, and +distributors of products that use, or are prepared in, TeX (Plain, AmsTeX, +AMSLaTeX, LaTeX, pdfTeX, Metafont, MetaPost, ConTeXt, etc.) can sponsor or +co- sponsor events (coffee breaks, lunches, reception, banquet) and most +of all towards renowned plenary speakers and TUG 2003 as a whole. + +4) The TeX Heritage Committee chaired by Sebastian Rahtz, will be +organizing projects and happenings for the Silver Anniversary of TeX. +One of these will be to publish a special volume of reflections by key +developers and users of TeX. The book will be (temporarily) entitled: + +"TeX Retrospective: milestones and byways on the road to beautiful +typography" + +More information will be published on the website at: + http://www.tug.org/tug2003/heritage/ + +Note: Generous donors and sponsors ($500.00 or more) will receive + a complimentary copy of the silver anniversary volume. + +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +So start planning now to join us in Hawaii in body and/or in spirit for +TUG 2003 on July 20 - 24, 2003.
