From: nq0i@dablik.radiophysics.com
Subject: Plain text and numbering lines
I frequently have the need to produce pages of output which have the
lines numbered in the left margin (so that people can easily refer
to page nnn, line mmm). I have looked at Chapter 23 of "The
TeXbook", and it seems that such a thing should not be impossible,
but there is nothing there to guide me as to whether such a thing is
easy and, if so, how to do it. I have also looked through several
collections of TeX macros and not found anything to do the job (so
perhaps it is not so easy after all).
Does anyone have any clues as to how to produce this seemingly simple
effect?

Subject: Sauter Tools for Computer Modern Fonts Version 2.3 released
The release 2.3 of the Sauter tools to generate true sized fonts contains
the following news:
* Support for LaTeX2e 1994/12/01
* Full support of SliTeX fonts (including invisible fonts)
* Fixes to cmcsc fonts, wasy fonts, and bbold fonts.
* Bold Caps and Small Caps
* An experimental Sperrsatz font
* More differentiated directory structure
If you already have an older version of the Sauter fonts, please regenerate
the cmcsc fonts. They have been changed to match exactly the extra sizes
provided by the AMS. In this course I have also restored John Sauter's
formula for sizes above 10pt.
If you had Sauterised wasy and bbold fonts, please regenerate them, they
have changed. If you had Sauterised cyrillic, please regenerate cmbz. The
unit width now matches the one of cmrz.
Send any questions, comments and suggestions to

From: vojta@math.berkeley.edu (Paul Vojta)
Subject: Announcing gsftopk version 1.8
This is to announce that version 1.8 of gsftopk is available. gsftopk is
a utility that calls Ghostscript to render PostScript fonts, and then converts
them into pk format. The main goal is to be able to view PostScript fonts
in xdvi.
The current version fixes a couple minor bugs (seg fault when running
without arguments, and inability to handle .pfb files).
To upgrade, you can either:
1. get the whole package again:
CTAN:tex-archive/fonts/utilities/gsftopk/gsftopk.tar.gz
or
2. apply the following patch to version 1.7:
CTAN:tex-archive/fonts/utilities/gsftopk/gsftopk.patch8.gz
These files are also available in Unix compress format from math.berkeley.edu
in the directory pub/Software/TeX.
Users of gs 3.x should note that, although this patch fixes a bug regarding
.pfb files, there still are some bugs in gs 3.1.2 affecting .pfb files.

Subject: Immediate bug fixes to Sauter-2.3
I did two immediate bug fixes to the Sauter-2.3 distribution, namely the
files b-cmcsc.mf and sautmath.fd were replaced.
The Sauter-2.3 package can be found on the CTAN archives in
tex-archive/fonts/cm/sauter23/...
Thanks to the people who reported the bugs.
