+Each issue of \BV\ will have a special theme, although articles on any
+\TeX-related subject are always welcome. Contributions on the themes
+for the remainder of 1994 are eagerly solicited:
+\begin{Pilist}{pzd}{43}
+\item \BV\ 4.3 will concentrate on graphics;
+\item \BV\ 4.4 will be a back to basics special issue on mathematical
+ and tabular typesetting;
+\item \BV\ 4.5 will try and go beyond \TeX, to see what is on the horizon.
+\end{Pilist}
+\section{Apology!}
+Alan Jeffrey\rq{}s article in \BV\ 4.1 was the victim of the very
+font-encoding problems which his \emph{fontinst} software is designed
+to solve. Between the proof copies created on a machine in Geneva, and
+the final copy created at Aston, one of the font tables turned to garbage.
+It came about
+because the two \TeX\ setups used the same \emph{virtual} fonts, but
+differently-encoded \emph{raw} fonts, so the virtual Times
+assumed that glyphs were at positions where in
+fact something very different lived. For the record, the
+\emph{correct} table showing Times in \TeX\ layout is as follows
+(answers on a postcard, please, explaining why the lslash and Lslash
+glyphs are also here):
+\begin{center}
+\epsfig{figure=ptmr.eps}
+\end{center}
+Readers who are fascinated by the whole subject of fonts and encodings
+will be delighted to find \emph{another} practical article on the
+subject in this \BV; we hope that other people will grow to appreciate
+\BV\rq{}s continuing definitive saga on the subject that won\rq{}t go away.
+
+\subsection{Colophon}
+This issue of \BV\ was to have dealt entirely with practicalities of
+\LaTeXe, to go with the group\rq{}s March meeting on this major new
+release of the package; we do include a detailed overview of
+2$\varepsilon$, but some articles will not be ready until future
+issues, and in the meanwhile we find plenty to occupy the modern \TeX
+ie.
+
+This issue of the journal was created entirely with the test
+distribution of \LaTeXe, using Y\&Y\rq{}s implementation of \TeX, and
+printed on a Hewlett Packard LaserJet 4.
+
+Encoding-hounds will
+appreciate knowing that this \BV\ was processed using a slightly
+extended Windows ANSI encoding; this was achieved by using Y\&Y\rq{}s
+comprehensive font tools to reencode the fonts. This allowed direct
+preview using \emph{dviwindo} and Adobe Type Manager. Having the base
+fonts in Windows ANSI then allowed me to build a full set of EC-encoded
+virtual fonts (using Jeffrey\rq{}s \emph{fontinst}) for when I want a
+portable source or access to the full range of EC characters.
+Sometimes you \emph{can} have the best of all possible worlds\ldots
+
+\BV\ is set in ITC New Baskerville Roman and Gill Sans,
+with Computer Modern Typewriter
+for literal text. Production and distribution was undertaken in
+Cambridge by Robin Fairbairns and Jonathan Fine.
