\title{A few changes}
Each edition of \TeXline\ includes a few changes. There
are a couple of recent changes which require some
comment.
The first change is an addition: the addition of
an ISSN -- \TeXline\ has become `official'. Apart from
anything else, this carries the implication that it will
last for at least a few more editions!
The second change
is a bit more subtle. Both this and the last edition were
produced using \PS\ fonts. `So what?' you will say `\PS\
is all around us, and after all everyone knows that \PS\
fonts are better than that dreadful Computer Modern'.
Look again. The typeface has not changed. We are now
using Blue Sky's rendition of Computer Modern in \PS. I
am delighted with it (not least because I can now have any
Computer Modern font at some more convenient sizes).
Two articles in this \Texline\ contain a copyright notice.
Up to now we have tended to avoid these trappings of
officialdom, but if authors wish to lay claim to their
intellectual property, they must be given that
opportunity.
Another novelty has been the sponsorship received from
\TeX cel for both this and the last edition. The
willingness of \TeX cel to underwrite the costs of
\TeXline\ has been a source of great encouragement,
especially in these rather austere times. I would like to
continue this idea, but there are many competing claims
for money, not least the \LaTeX3 project. But if you are
looking for a worthy cause to which to dispense some
money, \TeXline\ would be happy to help you out.
As ever, I am indebted to the large number
of individuals and organisations who help: for example,
Blue Sky often re-post \TeXline\ within the US, and \TeX
