a) what format graphics files?
b) driving the LaserJet in native mode or with a PostScript cartridge?
The normal emTeX HPLJ driver is very good, and supports inclusion of
.pcx and .bmp graphics formats. will that do?

one could argue about the last statement, but point taken. the AMs
fonts in Mac format are in the archive (fonts/ams/macintosh), and we
will try and get them on the OzTeX disks.

goodness gracious. I don't know of one. if you have a C compiler, try
starting to compile the web2c setup, but I dont suppose it would be
easy. how about giving the machine to the Ashmolean museum instead?

its part of the `doc' package in LaTeX2e. When you install things, it
should have been created

Subject: UK TUG meeting on LaTeX fonts and graphics
(This document is also available by WWW as
http://pelican.cl.cam.ac.uk/people/rf/july.html)
LaTeX fonts and graphics: a hands-on tutorial
Two of the most important new features of LaTeX 2e are its support for
fonts and graphics: no longer does LaTeX have to mean Computer Modern with
picture mode. In this intensive one-day course, two of the authors of
LaTeX 2e will provide a tutorial in LaTeX 2e's fonts and graphics. Topics
will include:
Processing LaTeX 2e documents.
Selecting new fonts.
Installing new fonts.
Including graphics.
Using colour.
The tutorial will be aimed at:
Authors who wish to learn the new LaTeX document commands.
Designers who wish to write document classes or packages using fonts,
graphics and colour.
System administrators who wish to install and maintain the new LaTeX
features.
The tutorial will include sessions hands-on at a keyboard, and each
attendee will have access to a Unix workstation. The cost includes
handouts, lunch and refreshments.
The time, the place
The time: July 11, 1994
The place: University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory
The tutors: David Carlisle and Alan Jeffrey of the LaTeX 3 project.
The cost: (to UK TUG members), 50 pounds, or 40 pounds if you book by
June 11. (60 and 50 pounds to non-members; 10 pounds surcharge for
generating a proforma invoice against an official order.)
