Greetings,
          Is there a LaTeX font to generate the trademark symbol (R)??
The copyright symbol (C) is documented, but I can't find any reference to
trademarks.

Subject:HP LJ III Si, mode_def
Keywords:HP LJ III Si, mode_def

Can anyone supply a METAFONT mode_def for our new HP LJ III Si
printer, or alternatively say what its print engine is?  The
documentation is silent on this matter, but we think it might be a
Canon engine.  My CM fonts built for a LaserWriter II (Canon-CX) look
acceptable, but some of the bowls in cmr10/cmr12 letters are rather
thin and spidery.

Subject: Re:  Possible TeX bug discovered -- boxes and rules
Keywords: TeX, bug, boxes, rules

It is NOT a TeX bug, but a problem with the DVI translators:
Tex does his calculations with a great accuracy and the DVI translators
have to round TeX results to accomodate to the (low) resolution of
printers. Let's see your example "Not OK at 20 pt" in detail:

TeX draws 4 rules:
    2 big rules at top and bottom of 7620391sp and
    2 small ones with "Not..pt" between. These little rules are
1310720sp wide and the right one starts at position 6309671sp

(these numbers are in the DVI file)

On my laserjet using DVIJEP, which always round up:
7620391sp=482.681points at 300dpi rounded by DVIJEP to 483
6309671sp=399.659points at 300dpi rounded by DVIJEP to 400
1310720sp=83.022points at 300dpi rounded by DVIJEP to 84

for TeX: 6309671 + 1310720 = 7620391 but
for DVIJEP: 480 + 84 not= 483
which explains the extra width of the middle rule.

Whatever the rule for rounding in the DVI translator: always up,
always down or nearest, there will be mismatches, or the translator
would need to round not the length of the rule, but the distance
from its end to the left of the page, and this may lead to undesire
effects in other circumstances.

Subject:  English language documentation for TeXshell
Keywords: TeXshell, docs

Can anybody out there help with English language documentation for
TeXshell (a front-end for EmTeX on DOS machines). This package looks
to be just what we want for providing EmTeX to inexperienced users,
but the documentation (and help files!) are all in German.

I'm struggling to get all of our programs working with it, but I think
I'm missing some of the nuances of installation because of the
language difficulty !!!

Many thanks

Subject: Announcing ctt-Digest@SHSU.edu
Keywords: ctt-Digest

I want to thank the brave set of people who answered my plea for beta
testers late last month.  They provided me with invaluable guidance and
suggestions in clearing up some of the problems I was afraid we might run
across.  At any rate........

I would like to announce the availability of yet another TeX-related list
sponsored by and housed at Sam Houston State University --
                          <ctt-Digest@SHSU.edu>
ctt-Digest is a (most probably) multi-part daily digest of activity on the
comp.text.tex newsgroup.  ctt-Digest is *not* intended to include:
(a) posts to comp.text.tex originating on INFO-TeX, nor
(b) those periodicals included on TeX-Pubs (i.e, Texhax Digest, UKTeX
    Digest, TeXMaG, the "Frequently Asked Questions" and "FAQ Supplement"
    posts from comp.text.tex, and TUG's "TeX and TUG News").  When these
    periodicals are removed, it is noted at the end of that issue.

Daily digests are designed to keep distribution parts under 42k in size to
accommodate as many mailers as possible.  Efforts are made to keep each
comp.text.tex post in whole between parts (although certain size
constraints may preclude this as a universal rule).  In general, each day's
distribution has been between 1 and 3 parts, but the number of parts will
vary directly with comp.text.tex activity, as well as how spontaneously our
news feed keeps up with traffic to SHSU.  The ctt-Digest distribution is
automatically processed and forwarded to subscribers at approximately 0200
Central Standard/Daylight Time (US).

The address <ctt-Digest@SHSU.edu> is restricted with respect to posting as
it is purely a redistribution list.  The posting address via mail to access
comp.text.tex remains INFO-TeX@SHSU.BITNET (INFO-TeX@SHSU.edu), although
posts to INFO-TeX will not appear in ctt-Digest.

I would like to thank Mark Berryman at SAIC for working with me on
providing the news feed to accomplish this project (as well as our
much-improved inbound feed to comp.text.tex).

If you would like to subscribe to ctt-Digest, please include the command:
 SUBSCRIBE ctt-Digest "Your Real Name in Quotes"
in the body of a mail message to LISTSERV@SHSU.BITNET (LISTSERV@SHSU.edu).

If you have any questions or comments about this new service (or any of our
services), please contact me directly.

Regards, and thanks once again to my testers,   George

Subject: Seeking character set for ancient Greek
Keywords: Ancient Greek, character set, LaTeX

I have a colleague who would like to produce ancient Greek text using
LaTeX, but the pre-defined set of accents and other marks doesn't include
all of the ones he needs.  (Also, he tells me that the character set for
ancient Greek differs non-trivially from that for modern Greek.)

Does any have (or know of) a full character set for ancient Greek?

Subject: Resume formatting
Keywords: TeX, resume

I use two versions of TeX - one on our IBM 370 running CMS and emTeX for the
PC (thanks for the info on where to find it).  I use both versions for
writing papers for classes and, in conjunction with FWEB (thansk for info
on that too!), program typesetting for personal and business use.

I have, however, had some troubles getting TeX to generate a good resume.
I use straight vanilla TeX, but have access to LaTeX and other style
options.  I have tried a resume in the past, but have found that I can't
get TeX to position everything properly.  Anyone with any experience using
TeX for resume typesetting, or having a style sheet for resume formatting,
please help me!  I'm tired of using those damnable DOS word processors for
a job best suited for TeX.  Thanks in advance, please reply via the list or
direct email.

Subject:  Pageheader with LaTeX
Keywords: LaTeX, pageheader

I'm using Stephen Gildea's style-file HEADERFOOTER.STY from 9 Dec 1988
to produce a pageheader which contains the chapter number, chapter
title and page number in the following way:

\section{Discussion}
\pageheader{\thesection\ Discussion}{}{\thepage}
\pagefooter{}{}{}
\pageheaderlinetrue

This works proper and is as you can see really easy. But if the new
section starts just at the beginning of a page (first line of the
page: e.g. 4 Discusssion) then the pageheader for this section
starts one page to early.


I asked Stephen Gildea and he answered that the reason for this
unwanted behavior can be found on page 258 in _The TeXbook_.
Well, I believe in this answer but would prefer a simple solution
to avoid the problem.

Any hints, ready-to-run solutions?

Thank you in advance

Subject: A TeX Language Problem

Can anyone help me with a solution in TeX language for a control
sequence \charcode`\A=`B similar to \catcode to change temporarily
the printed characters on a fixed font. Of course we assume that a
solution using active characters is not practical.
I will accept a solution on the dvi-to-dvi level if available.

Subject: Re: EPS inclusion in OzTeX the easy way !!
Keywords: EPS, OzTeX

The previous digest (vol.92 #001) contained a work-around for easy positioning
of EPS figures in OzTeX documents.

A simpler (and a little more comprehensive) method is to get the TeX/LaTeX
macro set BoxedEPSF.tex from your local LaTeX source. This package offers
a standard graphics inclusion set of macro's across nearly all of the DVI
drivers in general use, a previewing mode (which outlines the graphics position
on-screen in OzTeX) where the BB of a figure will be visible, and scaling
of the figure.

It's a greta package which we now install and use on all of TeX/LaTeX
platforms, as it gives us some standards and aids compatibility.

Try it and see !!!

Subject: modes.mf 0.9 released
Keywords: modes.mf

I have released version 0.9 of modes.mf.  You can get it by anonymous ftp from

	ftp.cs.umb.edu [192.12.26.23]:pub/tex/modes.mf

You can also get it by email from George Greenwade's (thanks, George!)
file server if you cannot ftp: mail fileserv@shsu.edu with a body of
`sendme modes'.  It is about 42K.

This file is a collection of Metafont mode_def's.  It also makes common
definitions for write-white printers and `special' information.

This version has several changes:
* qms and LN01 are now write/white
* the landscape macro calls fix_units
* definitions for both write/white and write/black SparcPrinters
* new modes for the IBM3179, IBM3193, and Atari96 devices.

Also minor fixes in several other definitions.

Thanks to issue@vax.oxford.ac.uk for a close reading of modes.mf and the
many fixes resulting.

If you have mode_def's which are not listed below, or corrections to the
existing ones, please send them to me.
