+Welcome to the first \BV~of 1996. As announced in \BV~5.4 Sebastian Rahtz
+has given up the editorship to devote more
+time to the TUG board. I am sure that all \ukt\ members have
+appreciated Sebastian's efforts in masterminding a regular production
+of the journal. As Sebastian notes in a letter in this issue it was
+not a single handed effort, but nevertheless he must take much of the
+credit.
+
+
+One of the major \TeX\ events of last year was the re-release of the
+`Cork' encoded Computer Modern fonts. This release 1.2 of the dc fonts
+fixed many bugs and improved the fonts in many small but important
+ways. English language users can (and most of them do!) get by
+with the old computer modern encoding of Knuth, but the future
+in an increasingly international community must be with the Cork 8-bit
+encoding, and so as a mark of the new release this issue has departed
+from its epononymous text font and uses the 10pt Roman font dcr1000 as
+its main face. (Eagle eyed readers will no doubt already have noticed
+that the `alternative' hyphenation character is being used.)
+
+The position of editor is still \emph{vacant}! If you are interested
+in the possibility of becoming editor (or guest-editing a single
+issue) please contact the committee at the above address.
+
+Currently the editorship will rotate amongst the committee
+members. Robin Fairbairns again masterminded the FAQ issue, I have
+this one, Malcolm Clark will take \BV~6.2 and Carol Hewlett~6.3\ldots
+
+No matter who is the editor, \BV\ can not function without a supply of
+contributed articles. Sebastian has agreed to remain a `collection
+point' for contributions, so they should continue to be sent to
+him at the address above.
+
+Submission dates are as follows:
+
+\begin{submissiondates}
+6.2& April 3& April 17 & April 26\\
+6.3& June 3& June 7 & June 21\\
+6.4& August 5& August 16 & August 30
+\end{submissiondates}
+
+We made a mistake in the FAQ issue. Jonathan Fine hopes to complete
+his macro package for typesetting SGML documents during 1996, and not
+by May as we stated in Question 50.
