+The UK \TeX\ Users' Group
+
+{\huge Choosing and Using PostScript Fonts with \TeX}\bigskip
+
+Rewley House, Wellington Square, Oxford\bigskip
+
+Wednesday 19th January 1994, 10.30 to 17.00
+\end{center}
+
+\section*{Meeting Outline}
+This meeting is designed to be of practical help to the
+ever-increasing number of \TeX\ users who have access to PostScript
+printers and phototypesetters. Questions abound: \BB How do you get
+\TeX\ metric files for the fonts in your printer? \BB When you buy
+fonts, what are all those {\tt .pfb}, {\tt .pfm} and {\tt .afm} files?
+\BB How does the {\tt dvi} driver distinguish between \MF\ fonts and
+PostScript fonts?\BB How do you change your whole document so that it is
+typeset in Univers? How do you use a PostScript phototypesetter? \BB What
+font families go together? \BB Which text fonts work with which maths
+fonts? There {\em are} answers, and you can get them at this meeting.
+
+The speakers will include the following:
+\begin{description}
+\item[Alan Jeffrey] will discuss the building blocks for successful
+use of PostScript fonts --- the conversion of Adobe Font Metric files,
+encoding schemes, communicating with the {\tt dvi} driver etc;
+\item[Sebastian Rahtz] will deal with the \LaTeX\ way of setting up
+and selecting new fonts; this will primarily be concerned with the
+tools provided in the new \LaTeXe\ (an enhanced version of the New
+Font Selection Scheme 2);
+\item[Will Shaman] will describe how to choose an appropriate
+PostScript typeface for a particular job, and the principles to be
+followed in mixing fonts from different families.
+\end{description}
+There will be an opportunity to put questions to each of the speakers,
+and also a panel session to consider wider issues, including the
+choice and use of mathematical fonts. Questions for the
+panel will be solicited widely, including via {\tt uktex}. A digest of
+these questions and answers will be published in \BV,
+the organ of the group.
+
+\section*{Meeting Details}
+The meeting will be held in the Department for Continuing Education,
+Rewley~House, Wellington Square, Oxford.
+Wellington Square is about 5 minutes walk from the bus station and some
+10--15 minutes walk from the railway station: the best route is via
+Beaumont~Street. Those driving to Oxford are advised to use the
+park-and-ride service, as there is {\it no} parking in central Oxford.
+
+The meeting will begin at 11.00, with registration and coffee from
+10.30 onwards; there will be breaks for lunch and tea, and it is
+expected to finish at around 17.00. There will be a charge for the
+meeting of \pounds 20 for members of the \ukt, and \pounds 30 for
+non-members. A booking form is included. Please indicate any special
+dietary requirements when booking a place.
