+Subject: Problems with LaTeX 2.09 \newfont and AMSLaTeX 1.1
+
+Dear LaTexers,
+previously I have installed LaTeX version 2.09 (which I got from the Aston
+Archive) in the emtex - distribution from 93/03/25.
+I built new FMT - Files including AmsLatex support (AmsLatex Package 1.1)
+and multilingual support.
+>From this time on the Latex - command "\newfont" seems to be no longer
+supported. Surely I made an error but I don't no which one.
+I would be very grateful if someone could point me a way out of this.
+What works is if we substitute "\newfont" by the TeX-command "\font ...".
+But this is of little use because it also turned out that "\symbol..." will no
+longer work. I think the list continues.
+
+Any help is greatly appreciated. Matthias

+
+Check the files in the fontsel subdirectory of your AMS-LaTeX package.
+Surely these are out of date. \newfont and \symbol were added to NFSS
+more than two years ago.
+
+Note that the CTAN (Comprehensive TeX Archive Network) host nearest to
+your site is ftp.uni-stuttgart.de.

+
+The files you've collected are VVencoded; before you can start to unzip
+them, you'll need a working implementation of VVdecode for MS-DOS. If
+you're using TeX.ac.uk (I believe I saw a session earlier today from
+panix.com), you need to collect
+[tex-archive.archive-tools.vvcode.binaries.msdos]vvdecode.exe
+
+Don't forget to specify binary before ftp'ing it. On the other hand, if
+you can't get non-text files from panix.com to your PC, there are BOO-
+and UU-encoded versions of this file there too, which have the suffixes
+EXE_BOO and EXE_UUE --- there's also a EXE_VVE, but that's rather like a
+chicken and an egg...
+
+Once you've VVdecoded the files, you should end up with a proper .ZIP
+file; but you won't be able to unzip it with the ubiquitous pkunzip
+v1.10 --- you need V2, or the PD unzip program, both of which support
+the newer compression method used by the PD zip program that we use on
+the Aston TeX Archive.

+Subject: NFS access to UK TeX Archive
+
+The TeX archive at Aston University on ftp.tex.ac.uk is now freely
+mountable using NFS (read-only, of course!).
+
+
+The access details depend somewhat on the host operating system.
+Here are the details for Unix (actually, SunOS):
+
+ mount -o ro,nosuid,bg ftp.tex.ac.uk:/work/ftp/pub/archive /archive
+
+will mount the filesystem on local directory /archive.
+
+For more automated access, a line such as
+
+ftp.tex.ac.uk:/work/ftp/pub/archive /archive nfs ro,soft,intr,nosuid,bg 0 0
+
+in the client system's /etc/fstab file would be suitable.
+
+Better still,
+
+/archive -ro,soft,intr,nosuid,bg ftp.tex.ac.uk:/work/ftp/pub/archive
+
+in the client system's /etc/auto.direct file for use by the
+automounter allows the filesystem to be automatically mounted only
+when needed. (Automount is available on Suns, though other vendors
+may provide the same or a similar facility; "amd" is a public-domain
+equivalent available from src.doc.ic.ac.uk)

+
+ Glasgow Style
+
+ A Conference on the Interface between Design and Technology
+
+
+
+ Glasgow Style, the fourth conference of the British Computer
+ Society Electronic Publishing Specialist Group, will be held in
+ September 1993. It will address the nature of style, moving from
+ a study of its aesthetic principles through to its concrete
+ embodiment in diverse media, and the techniques for its
+ expression in different forms of electronic publishing.
+
+ As a result of the implementation of technology without design
+ principles, electronic publishing (EP) has not always received a
+ good press, although it may have resulted in a better press. The
+ conference will, in particular, address the gap between the
+ traditional designer and the new-wave practitioner of EP, expert
+ with the technology but perhaps ignorant of the precepts of
+ typography and design. It will also discuss whether the
+ technology supporting EP aids or hinders good design.
+
+ Delegates should gain a deeper understanding of both the
+ principles of style and the creation of good design. The
+ conference is intended for all concerned with the technology of
+ design, including designers themselves, publishers, typographers
+ (using hot metal or electronics) and of course the user. It will
+ provide a forum for informal talks on topics such as:
+
+ traditional and radical typography;
+
+ national and international styles;
+
+ timeless and time-bound styles;
+
+ poster and newspaper design;
+
+ design for the page and the screen;
+
+ and of course
+
+ (Charles Rennie) Mackintosh style.
+
+
+ The combination of the distinguished and informed speakers and
+ the inevitable (and also well-informed) comments from the floor
+ should ensure an informative and lively conference. Part of the
+ conference will take place at the Glasgow School of Art.
+
+ The conference will be preceded by an introductory seminar on
+ design, given on the afternoon of Tuesday 14 September (hopefully
+ by Robert Waller, Managing Director of the Information Design
+ Unit and designer of Monotype's Desktop Solution booklets).
+
+
+ Programme and Speakers
+ ======================
+
+ The programme will be made up of four sessions,
+
+ Definition of Style: Philosophy and Tradition
+
+ Flesh on the Bone: Concrete and Practical Implementations of Style
+
+ Revolution: Why Change? Life after 300 dpi
+
+ Mackintosh Style (planned for the Glasgow School of Art)
+
+
+ Speakers (subject to final confirmation) will include:
+
+ Ruari McLean, Author of the book Elements of Typography
+
+ Robin Kinross, writer on design and the philosophy of design
+
+ Paul Stiff, University of Reading
+
+ Paul Luna, Typographer and book designer for Oxford University Press
+
+ Alison Lowe, The Bible Society, and Jimmie McCammont, Collins
+
+ Lesley Taylor, St Andrew's Press
