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.
