Unfortunately, many believe, he thereby -opened floodgates to give the world a whole range of rather silly -‘bumpy road’ logos for TeX entities such as AMSTeX, PicTeX, -BibTeX, and so on, produced in a flurry of different fonts, sizes, -and baselines — indeed, everything one might hope to cause them to -obstruct the reading process. In particular, Lamport invented -LaTeX (silly enough in itself, with a raised small ‘A’ and a -lowered ‘E’) and marketing input from Addison-Wesley led to the even -stranger current logo for LaTeX2e, which appends a lowered -single-stroke Greek letter ε. -<p/>Sensible users don’t have to follow this stuff wherever it goes, -but, for those who insist, a large collection of logos is defined in -the <i>texnames</i> package (but note that this set of macros isn’t -entirely reliable in LaTeX2e). -The Metafont and MetaPost logos can be set in fonts that LaTeX2e -knows about (so that they scale with the surrounding text) using the -<i>mflogo</i> package; but be aware that booby-traps surround the -use of the Knuthian font for MetaPost (you might get - - - - - something like ‘META&nbsp;&nbsp;O&nbsp;&nbsp;T’). -You needn’t despair, however — most versions of the logo font -distributed nowadays contain the missing letters, and the author -himself uses just ‘MetaPost’. -<p/>For those who don’t wish to acquire the ‘proper’ logos, the canonical -thing to do is to say <code>AMS-</code><code>\</code><code>TeX</code> -for AMSTeX, <code>Pic</code><code>\</code><code>TeX</code> -for PicTeX, <code>Bib</code><code>\</code><code>TeX</code> -for BibTeX, and so on. -<dl> -<dt><tt><i>mflogo.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mflogo.zip">macros/latex/contrib/mflogo</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mflogo/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/mflogo.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>texnames.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/info/biblio/texnames.sty">info/biblio/texnames.sty</a> -</dl> -<p><em>This answer last edited: 2009-06-07</em></p> -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=logos">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=logos</a> -</body> |
