I wonder if you could assist me by informing me of any applemac software which would enable me to incorporate diagrams into a file when using OzTeX. (Usually I use Teachtext to write my .tex file.) I would greatly appreciate it if you would assist me as this information would be most useful to me. Your sincerely, Margaret MacDougall. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 02 May 1995 14:12:09 -0000 From: C D Radcliffe Subject: Question about headers. Is there a way of getting a user defined heading, e.g. \pagestyle{headings} \markright{\sc My heading} to appear on the first page of a document? Am I missing something simple? I can set the page counter to 0 and 'con' latex, but there must be a better way.

This is simply an oversight, and is corrected in the forthcoming re-release of all the metrics, and PSNFSS. The curious reader may like to look on CTAN in fonts/psfonts.beta to see how this is developing. A proper announcement will be made soon Sebastian Rahtz ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 02 May 1995 14:55:43 -0400 From: bkph@ai.mit.edu (Berthold K.P.

You may want to get the latest versions of lucida.dtx and lucida.ins from Y&Y. These take care of some minor problems in the older versions found in PSNFSS on CTAN. Or, just wait for Sebastian's new versions to show up on CTAN when he is satisfied with the changes he has made. The new versions of the lucida.* files also solve some problems with upright Greek in bold math. You can contact Y&Y at tech-help@YandY.com. I don't know about the metric files, since I use the fonts directly (using the TFM files supplied with the fonts). There may be aditional problems lurking in the VF files that I am not aware off.

Dear reader, At this moment I am writing my graduation report. Some time ago I encountered the TeX/LaTeX typesetting system, and decided to write this report with the package. In contrast to many text processing systems TeX/LaTeX satisfies all my needs in a very convenient way. Compliments for this. Still a question rises for which I cannot find an answer. In this report I want to incorporate large numbers of eps graphs. A very fine mechanism for this purpose has been developped. But I would like to set a default that puts all floating stuff (including tables) on the odd (left) pages of the "book" document class. Is this possible by using a style file or need I some extra code? Please forgive me if I haven't read the LaTeX Companion good enough. I hope that someone else has come across this question and solved it.

This version features a new ``immediate'' mode, which allows to access Metafont's wonderful expressiveness much more conveniently. I plan to release this version as version 1.0 after revising the manual. If you're desperate for a feature or have suggestions for the manual, this is the time to speak up. I will be very reluctant about adding features, but hints for the manual are welcome. This software will show up through the magic of mirroring at the CTAN host near you. Below is the README file.

Nevertheless all the power of Metafont is available for the most obscure cases. See the documentation for appetizers, examples and more details. Anyway, you are invited to share, use, abuse, and improve it, see the file COPYING for details.

This allows you to view PostScript fonts in xdvi. This version is necessary if you are using gs3.3.3. To upgrade, you can either: 1. get the whole package again: CTAN:tex-archive/fonts/utilities/gsftopk/gsftopk-1.9.tar.gz or 2. apply the following patch to version 1.8: CTAN:tex-archive/fonts/utilities/gsftopk/gsftopk-1.8-1.9.diff.gz These files are also available in Unix compress format from math.berkeley.edu in the directory pub/Software/TeX. Also, gsftopk 1.9 is included with xdvi-20, which is also being released at this time. - --Paul Vojta, vojta@math.berkeley.edu ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 12 May 1995 17:50:48 -0700 From: vojta@math.berkeley.edu (Paul Vojta) Subject: ANNOUNCEMENT: xdvi patchlevel 20 This is to announce that patchlevel 20 for xdvi, a previewer for .dvi files under the X Window System, has been released. It is available via anonymous ftp from ftp.x.org in the file contrib/applications/xdvi-20.tar.Z (and coming soon to a mirror site near you...). Patchlevel 20 fixes some bugs that were present in patchlevel 19. Patchlevel 19, which was recently released but not announced (due to the bugs), adds: o Support for header= and `!' PostScript specials. o Path searching for PostScript header and figure files. o Ability to use compressed PostScript figure files. o Numerous smaller bug fixes and enhancements. Among the bugs fixed is an image clipping problem with gs 3.x. The patch to gs that I had circulated earlier is no longer necessary (and probably incorrect). The new FAQ file contains a revised patch, provided by Tim Theisen, which fixes bugs both for ghostview and for xdvi. You should use it if you are using gs 3.3.3. This version of xdvi also includes version 1.9 of gsftopk, which contains fixes for working with gs 3.3.3. Information on xdvi is available on the WWW at the following URL: http://math.berkeley.edu/~vojta/xdvi.html - --Paul Vojta, vojta@math.berkeley.edu ------------------------------ About TeXhax...
