Btw, I think you are also aware of the macro packages and utilities LaTeX, BibTeX, Ams-Stuff[Fonts, TeX, LaTeX] and more, but what you consider seems to be slightly different ..

I am aware of TeX-XeT, TeX--XeT, MLTeX and Sisisi, but there may be more. Specially I have heard that some commercial implementations provide additional primitives or extensions. vtex, by micropress, inc., forest hills, ny, has added a number of primitives. it reportedly has a "compatibility" switch that enables it to pass the trip test, but i've never had the opportunity to examine the evidence. the author, michael vulis, has said that vtex is *not* tex -- files using the extensions are not backward compatible. (see reference below.) among the new primitives are the following: \aliasfont -- for substituting a scalable font for standard cm \exec -- for adding new "commands" (primitives?) to vtex additional keywords on the \font command: slant, aspect, smallcaps, outline, shadow, gray, fillpattern probably more are described in the book by michael vulis, but i can't find my copy at the moment. the information given here appears in the tugboat article by vulis, "vtex enhancements of the tex language", 11 #3 (sept. 1990), pp.429-434. Do extended MF's exist (I'm aware of none) ? the vtex people have also created an implementation of mf that is advertised as being able to create "either bitmapped or scalable fonts". What additions to the standard TeX kit exist (Roughly the following programmes: weave, tangle, TeX, MF, gftopk, gftype, pktype, tftopl, pltotf, dvitype, mft, vptovf, vftovp ... did I miss any? ) ? gftodvi is part of metafontware; a printed woven output of the four mfware programs (gftype, gftopk, gftodvi and mft) can be obtained from the tex users group as the publication texniques #13. along with the adaptation of type-1 (postscript) fonts to be used with tex, the pfa/pfb manipulation programs might be considered to be part of the font kit. -- bb ======================================================================== Date: Tue, 17 May 1994 08:52:33 +0200 Reply-To: NTS-L Distribution list From: Reino de Boer Subject: Re: Survey: Existing extensions to TeX Hallo J"org, I think that patgen could be considered an addition to the standard TeX kit. Perhaps MetaPost can be considered an `extension' to MF. Regards -- Reino -- Reino R.
