The UK \TeX\ Users' Group

{\huge Choosing and Using PostScript Fonts with \TeX}\bigskip

Rewley House, Wellington Square, Oxford\bigskip

Wednesday 19th January 1994, 10.30 to  17.00
\end{center}

\section*{Meeting Outline}
This meeting is designed to be of practical help to the
ever-increasing number of \TeX\ users who have access to PostScript
printers and phototypesetters. Questions abound: \BB How do you get
\TeX\ metric files for the fonts in your printer? \BB When you buy
fonts, what are all those {\tt .pfb}, {\tt .pfm} and {\tt .afm} files?
\BB How does the {\tt dvi} driver distinguish between \MF\ fonts and
PostScript fonts?\BB How do you change your whole document so that it is
typeset in Univers? How do you use a PostScript phototypesetter? \BB What
font families go together? \BB Which text fonts work with which maths
fonts? There {\em are} answers, and you can get them at this meeting.

The speakers will include the following:
\begin{description}
\item[Alan Jeffrey] will discuss the building blocks for successful
use of PostScript fonts --- the conversion of Adobe Font Metric files,
encoding schemes, communicating with the {\tt dvi} driver etc;
\item[Sebastian Rahtz] will deal with the \LaTeX\ way of setting up
and selecting new fonts; this will primarily be concerned with the
tools provided in the new \LaTeXe\ (an enhanced version of the New
Font Selection Scheme 2);
\item[Will Shaman] will describe how to choose an appropriate 
PostScript typeface for a particular job, and the principles to be
followed in mixing fonts from different families.
\end{description}
There will be an opportunity to put questions to each of the speakers,
and also a panel session to consider wider issues, including the
choice and use of mathematical fonts. Questions for the
panel will be solicited widely, including via {\tt uktex}. A digest of
these questions and answers will be published in \BV, 
the organ of the group.

\section*{Meeting Details}
The meeting will be held in the Department for Continuing Education,
Rewley~House, Wellington Square, Oxford.
Wellington Square is about 5 minutes walk from the bus station and some
10--15 minutes walk from the railway station: the best route is via
Beaumont~Street. Those driving to Oxford are advised to use the
park-and-ride service, as there is {\it no} parking in central Oxford.

The meeting will begin at 11.00, with registration and coffee from
10.30 onwards; there will be breaks for lunch and tea, and it is
expected to finish at around 17.00. There will be a charge for the
meeting of \pounds 20 for members of the \ukt, and \pounds 30 for
non-members.  A booking form is included.  Please indicate any special
dietary requirements when booking a place.
