+% Malcolm, here is my report on fonts and font families

+\centerline{\bf The first UK \TeX\ Users' Group Workshop}
+ \smallskip\noindent
+The workshop on `Fonts and
+Font Families' was held at RHBNC on 25 June 1990.
+It turned out that Phil~Taylor who had organized the
+workshop was not able to present it and Chris~Rowley (Open
+University) with
+the help of Dominik~Wujastyk (Wellcome Institute)
+took over this task at very short notice.
+
+Phil had published an outline of the day's program and
+ this was broadly followed.
+Chris started at the very beginning , explaining the |\font|
+command and the importance of the \tfm\ files, and continuing
+from there, including an exposition of the very different
+way in which \TeX\ selects its mathematics fonts. The style
+of the meeting was informal, with participants asking questions
+as they needed to.
+
+After lunch (which was worth the visit), Dominik was the main
+presenter, talking about printer drivers and also explaining
+the new virtual fonts introduced at \TeX 3.
+
+The workshop was attended by 17 people, which was the right
+sort of size for this kind of meeting. As well as learning from
+the `formal' sessions, I think that a lot of information was
+usefully exchanged during the breaks.
+
+As well as the usual thanks, I feel that a mention must be made
+of the RHBNC orchestra, the sounds of whose end-of-term concert
+provided background music for much of the day.
