I was trying to fine tune the +positioning of my EPSF pictures. They needed a special postscript prolog, so I +used: + +\special{header=gnudict.pro} + +in the preamble of the LaTeX2e document (it was LaTeX2e as of Dec 1993). In +order not to spend much time on texing I put the each picture definition into +its own file and fine tuned one picture at a time. The picture started with + +\begin{figure}[p] + +and the document looked like: + +\documentclass[12pt]{article} +\usepackage{epsf} +\special{header=gnudict.pro} +\begin{document} +\input{myfig} +\end{document} +... the rest of the document commented out by the previous line + +The result was that the specials for EPSF inclusion worked but +\special{header=gnudict.pro} silently disappeared. Dvitype revealed that it +did not get into the dvi file. + +When I processed the whole text, all \special's were put into the dvi file as +expected. + +I have some explanation for that mystery. Please correct me, if I am wrong. + +When TeX encounters a \special, it makes a `whatsit' and puts it into MVL (The +TeXbook, pp. 228--229). Then LaTeX2e reads in the myfig.tex file which +contains only the definition of a figure. \end{document} then somehow invokes +the output routine. Now LaTeX2e finds a non-processed float which takes the +whole page. It sends the float to the dvi file but the `whatsit' remains in +the MVL. Then it should process the last unfinished page but there is no `ink' +on it, nothing to print, there is only the `whatsit'. Thence TeX or LaTeX2e +forgets about it and the `whatsit' is not written to the dvi file. + +I must admit that it took me a long time reading the documentation of DVIPS +and looking at \special's in epsf.sty and everything looked like unexplainable +mystery until I found the following sentence on p. 228 of The TeXbook: + +``Therefore it (=whatsit) is implicitely associated with a particular position +on the page, namely the reference point that would have been present if a box +of height, depth, and width zero hade appeared in place of the whatsit.'' + +Can someone explain whether this is caused by LaTeX2e or by TeX itself and +whether it is a bug or a feature? + +Oh! As I was writing this mail, it got into my mind to try the simple file + +\special{header=gnudict.pro} +\bye + +and run it through plain TeX.

I am a writer; +2. I _really_ like TeX and MF, and in fact do all my serious writing on a PC +using TeX. When necessary, I design my own fonts in MF. I especially like +the cmtt fonts which, with good TeX macros, produce copy almost identical to +typewritten without my having to worry about the formatting details. This +makes life easy for both me and the for the editors who have to read my stuff. + +3. On the other hand, for short notes and letters, it's hard to beat a nice +Windows Word Processor. + +So this leads me directly to want MF fonts usable in Windows (both on the +screen and on 300 dpi laser output). + +I don't care if they are scalable (i.e. I'd be quite happy to choose from +a small fixed set of sizes produced by some sort of pk2fon program); if they +are scalable, I don't care if they are TT or PS as I run the current release +of ATM. (In principal, since both PS and MF use bezier curves, I suppose +it ought to be possible to take MF source and produce PS fonts, although I +wouldn't like the job of making such a program actually work.) I don't care +about the number of intervening stages and programs necessary to get from +PK to PS/TT/FON/whatever. What I would like to know is HOW to get there +from here. It's got to be possible, and I'm almost certain that the necessary +programs have to be available somewhere; it's just that I'haven't come across +them. + + +I will post a summary of any helpful replies I receive. +Thanks. + Doc Evans + + devans@lynx.colorado.edu + + + +------------------------------ + +Date: 26 Jan 1994 15:46:04 +0100 +From: rcpt@urc.tue.nl (Piet Tutelaers) +Subject: [comp.text.tex] ps2pk version 1.4 available + + Ps2pk 1.4 release + ----------------- + (Jan. 1994) + +Some time ago Norman Walsh <walsh@cs.umass.edu> sent me some patches so +that ps2pk can handle larger and more complicated fonts.

You may choose to present an "open file" dialog, +open the clipboard if it has text, or do nothing. When the clipboard +option is checked, Excalibur will also open the clipboard when it +receives a resume event (if it contains text). + +- - Adjusted a few of the dialogs so that they all appear and behave +consistently. Hitting Return or Enter is the same as clicking the +default button. Command period is the same as cancel. + +- - Made some changes so that Excalibur's interactions with Alpha are +smoother. + +- - Fixed the Edit Commands dialog so that it is a bit more intuitive. + +- - Fixed the Edit Environments dialog so that you no longer enter the +number of arguments.

But (thanks to Karl's work), the programs +can be made in a single make: + + Extract the three archives so that the following directories + are parallel to each other: + + ./dvipsk-<version> + ./web2c-<version> + ./xdvik-<version> + + Next: + + mv dvipsk-<version>/dvipsk web2c-<version> + + mv xdvik-<version>/xdvik web2c-<version> + + ./web2c-<version> should now contain four subdirectories: + dvipsk, kpathsea, web2c, and xdvik. + +The files remaining in ./dvipsk-<version> and ./xdvik-<version> +are identical in all three archives. If you wish, you can now +remove ./dvipsk-<version> and ./xdvik-<version>. If you wish to +retain the names and versions of the programs, you can create the +following symbolic links: + + ln -s web2c-<version> dvipsk-<version> + + ln -s web2c-<version> xdvik-<version> + +Be sure to read web2c-<version>/README, web2c-<version>/web2c/INSTALL, +web2c-<version>/dvipsk/INSTALL, and web2c-<version>/xdvik/INSTALL. + +Make sure that you have completed the instructions in the section above +called "For a basic set of input files and fonts". + +You are now ready to begin configuring and building the programs. + + + +Network users interested in TeX software will find much that is useful in +the following FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) documents on rtfm.mit.edu +(18.70.0.209) in ~pub/usenet/comp.text.tex: + + T,_L,_e.:_F_A_Q_w_A_[M] + (i.e., TeX, LaTeX, etc.: FAQ with Answers [Monthly]) + +There is also a supplement to the FAQ containing FTP locations; it's in +the same place on rtfm.mit.edu. + +A beautifully done index of macros for TeX and LaTeX is available on +theory.lcs.mit.edu (18.52.0.92) in ~/pub/tex/TeX-index. + +These files are all included in ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/src.tar.gz. + +- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +If you are concerned about connect-time, search or retrieval problems, +or require help in building and installing the basic TeX/LaTeX and +Metafont programs on your machines, you may wish to consider ordering +a distribution tape from us (address below). + +A distribution fee in the area of $210 for domestic U.S. sites covers +the expenses of putting together and maintaining the tape distribution, +equipment, and of providing information and installation-support +services.

Notes about this +release are at the end of this announcement. The first release +revealed a few serious bugs and several other areas which need +attention. Many people reported that documents and style files had +been processed by the new system without serious problems; this +includes one very important test -- the original text of `The LaTeX +Manual'! We can also report that this release has been tested with +all the files in the LaTeX 2.09 test suite and produces only +predictable differences in the output. + + +First, here is the original announcement +- ---------------------------------------- + +LaTeX2e is the new standard version of LaTeX -- prepared and supported +by the LaTeX3 project team. It is upwardly compatible with LaTeX 2.09 +documents, but contains new features. + +Over the years many extensions of LaTeX have been developed. This is, +of course, a welcome development, since it shows that the LaTeX system +is in a healthy state. It has, however, had one unfortunate +consequence: there are now several incompatible systems, in the sense +of format (.fmt) files, all claiming to be LaTeX. Therefore, in order +to process documents coming from various places, a site maintainer +needs to provide several format files: LaTeX (with and without NFSS), +SLiTeX, AmSLaTeX, and so on. In addition, when looking at a source +file it is not always clear for which format the document was written. + +LaTeX2e puts an end to this unsatisfactory situation -- it will give +access to all such extensions based on a single format and thus end +the proliferation of mutually incompatible dialects of LaTeX 2.09. + +It uses an enhanced version (NFSS2) of the New Font Selection Scheme. +Files such as amstex.sty (formerly the AmSLaTeX format) or slides.sty +(formerly the SLiTeX format) will become extension packages, all +working with this single format. + +The introduction of this new version will also make it possible to add +a small number of often-requested features (such as extended versions +of \newcommand). + +To summarize: + + * Standardisation: a single format incorporating NFSS2, to replace + the present multiplicity of incompatible formats -- + NFSS, lfonts, pslfonts, etc. + +* Maintenance: a standardised system supported by a reliable + maintenance policy. + + +LaTeX2e adheres, as far as possible, to the following principles: + + * Unmodified version 2.09 document files can be processed with + LaTeX2e. + + * All new features of LaTeX2e conform to the conventions of version + 2.09, making it as easy as possible for current users to learn to + use them. + +LaTeX2e is described in a new edition of `LaTeX: A Document Preparation +System' by Leslie Lamport (to appear during 1994) and `The LaTeX +Companion' by Goossens, Mittelbach and Samarin, both published by +Addison-Wesley. + +LaTeX2e will be distributed twice a year. This distribution is a +preliminary test release, and doesn't contain all of the files that +will be part of the full release. In particular, it does not contain +the planned extensions in the area of graphics inclusion. + +The first full release will be available in Spring 1994. + +This is a test release, so please get it and test it on as many +different systems as possible! + + +Getting the second test release +- ------------------------------- +LaTeX2e can be retrieved by anonymous ftp from the CTAN archives: + + ftp.tex.ac.uk /tex-archive/macros/latex2e/core + ftp.shsu.edu /tex-archive/macros/latex2e/core + ftp.dante.de /tex-archive/macros/latex2e/core + + +Bug reports +- ----------- +Please report any problems with LaTeX2e by using the report-generating +program latexbug.tex, included in the LaTeX2e distribution.

Some of the reports uncovered features of the original + LaTeX which some consider to be bugs; whether these should be + `fixed' is not always clear. + +- -- There are thus several areas, including things arising from bug + reports, on which we are still working. + +- -- The details of the distribution, unpacking etc are still under + development. + +- -- The details of the typography in the standard classes is not + finalised. + +- -- The precise functionality of the compatibility mode is not fixed. + +- -- Still no graphics package! + +Warning +- ------- +If you have installed the first release then you must remove it +completely and start again. This is because there are many small +differences, including new file names, and because the installation +procedure now behaves differently. + + +For the LaTeX3 Project +- ---------------------- +Johannes Braams +David Carlisle +Alan Jeffrey +Frank Mittelbach +Chris Rowley +Rainer Sch\"opf + +------------------------------ + +Date: Mon, 21 Feb 1994 11:30:07 +0000 +From: "Wayne G.
