+I got it quite a while ago; incidently, there were others who did respond.
+It turns out that so far there are no programs for Kannada.tex. I guy
+from France responded that he is working on programs (preparing pre-fonts?)
+for all Indic languages so that one can convert fonts from one to the other
+easily. At present he is working on Simhalese, it seems. Anyhow, things seem
+to be happening! It would be quite a challenge. Thanks. Raju

+Subject: Indian character design using METAFONT?
+
+
+Hello,
+
+I am very new to this newsgroup and hence dont know if this is the right
+group for posting my question.
+
+
+I am interested in designing Metafont definitins for the character set
+of an Indian language. In this context, are there any software tools
+that can be used for working with the graphics involved in defining
+the shapes of the characters ?
+
+
+There is a certain software called 'fontogrpaher' which allows one to
+efine one's own custom-fonts & outputs the postscript defintion of
+the font set. This postscript output can be readily used in any postscript
+application. Unfortunately, fontographer is available on IBM PCs at an
+approximate cost of around $250.
+
+
+I am interested in a software that can run on SUN machines under Unix,
+can help me get Metafont output, and finally is available in the Public
+Domain (this is very useful too !).
+
+
+Many thanks to anyone who can give some information.

+
+It is not necessary to go to the trouble of recompiling for Solaris 2.X
+for certain application programs.
+I have found that TeX/LaTeX binaries compiled under SunOS 4.1.2 work
+with Solaris 2.1 on a LX without problems. This I suspect will
+also happen with SunOS 4.1.3 but I haven't tested it.

+Subject: Including code within a verbatim environment
+
+Is there any way to read a file within a verbatim environment? One would
+like to place a code fragment or a subroutine in a document something like
+the following
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\input code.c
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Obviously, this won't work because "\input code.c" will be typeset as it
+is. I don't want to put the \begin{verbatim}-\end{verbatim} in the actual
+file code.c because it is a working piece of code.
+
+Any suggestions?

+From: David_Rhead@vme.nott.ac.uk
+Subject: Previewing on graphics screen
+
+We are producing some A5 catalogues in 32-page signatures. We use:
+* LaTeX to typeset the catalogues
+* dvibook to re-arrange into signatures
+* dvidvi to get 2 A5s on one A4 for printing.
+Thus, the dvi file used for printing is 2 stages removed from the dvi file
+produced by the LaTeX run that typeset the catalogue. The catalogues are
+hundreds of pages long, and the final output device's per-page cost is
+high.
+
+Sometimes the final output device messes a particular page up. It is
+desirable to reprint this particular page. But, by this time, the
+page-numbering is somewhat convoluted. E.g., if one picks up a messed up
+2-up page from a 32-page signature, the numbers printed on the sheet don't
+give much indication of what one should put after "dvips -p " to reprint
+that page. (The catalogues have some roman-numbered pages at the front,
+which don't help.) It would be possible to work it out, but somewhat
+tedious.
+
+A nice approach would be to find the messed-up page within the final "2-up
+32-page signatures" on a graphics display, and to read off its "page-number
+counted from start of final dvi file". This would then give a number to
+put after "dvips -p =" to get the page printed. I know that DVItoVDU
+displays "page number from start of dvi file". Is thre any other
+"graphical previewing software" that also displays this information. (We
+have a number of platforms available, so information about anything on any
+platform is potentially relevant.)
+
+A nicer approach would be to find the messed-up page within the final "2-up
+32-page signatures" on a graphics display, and to give a mouse-click to say
+"send this page to my PostScript printer". Does anything like this exist
+on any platform?
