I'm using latex on a Unix (Sparc) box and I need to include postscript files. Currently I'm using \epsfbox{file.ps} to include them and that works ok. But I like to use captions. This isn't possible, as far as I know, with epsf. I tried: \begin{figure} \epsfbox{file.ps} \caption{Caption} \end{figure} but in this case, the boundingbox wasn't changed, which means that the figure was put at the place specified in the postscript file, instead of being changed by the epsf package. I hope this makes sense to somebody. Is there a way of including captions around postscript files within latex??? Thanks, Paul ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 01 Jun 1994 21:24:00 -0700 From: Karsten Strobek Subject: 600 dpi fonts I would like to create some 600dpi fonts, so I can get a better quality when I use postscript with my HP 4M printer. If anyone can tell me how to do this (with MF?), I would be most greatful. TIA.

If so, would you like to present a paper? The themes of this year's EuroTeX conference are Principles; Practice; Progress; POLAND! and papers are now urgently being sought. We are hoping to follow the example set at Prague in 1992 and Aston in 1993, by making the proceedings available actually at the conference, and in order for this to be feasible, it is necessary to establish some fairly strict guidelines for submission. Abstracts are wanted _now_, and must be submitted no later than Friday 10th June; the committee will acknowledge receipt of all abstracts, and will let authors know whether or not the paper is accepted by no later than Friday 24th June. One clear month will then be allowed for preparation of the full-text papers, which must therefore be submitted no later than Friday 22nd July, and these papers will then be passed on to referees who are knowledgeable in the chosen subject area: the referee and author then have one further month in which to agree and produce a `best possible' version of the paper. The final version of the paper must be submitted by Friday 20th August. Papers may be prepared in either Plain TeX or LaTeX, and a copy of `EuroTeX.Sty ' will be sent to all who submit abstracts; this will be a direct derivative of TUGproc.Sty, and authors wishing to make an early start on marking-up their tex t may safely base their work on the current release of TUGproc. In order to ensure a uniform appearance in the Proceedings, authors are urged _not_ to make changes to the default fonts, leading, etc. If you would like to present a paper, please complete the e-form below, and return it to the Programme Committee, EuroTeX '94: C/o Jola Szelatynska, University of Torun, Poland E-mail: Jola Szelatynska Yes, I hope to attend EuroTeX '94 and would like to propose the following paper(s); please add my name and address to your mailing list and keep me posted of developments.
