Now you've done it! I will admit that I have installed nfss on my NeXT,
which is still running 2.1 (I am using upgraded versions TeXview and
dvips). I did it for tvz's wonderful slide-making package (seminar),
but it's proved useful for other things as well.  I am pretty sure that
it will be even easier under 3.0, but I can't be sure until I get it.
:-)

Now, I have an offer for you folks who loved the look of Steve's slides
at NeXTworld but still are retro enough to use TeX. I recently bought a
copy of Tekton, and I've hacked together the support files that make it
easy to use in TeX and LaTeX. I'm still fiddling with the scaling, but
in a couple of days I will have versions I can release to the public.
They depend on later releases of dvips (I'm using 5.485) and TeXview
(I'm using a9). They also use the nfss of 92.03.25 and dmjones' psfonts
stuff. I also have a tekton style file for the seminar package.

Note: These files are useless unless you have a legitimate copy of the
font Tekton! You *must* be somewhat familiar with the way TeX works to
install them.

Is anyone interested in these files? I realize making slides in Tekton
just because Steve Jobs does it is rather silly, but if you have another
font you would like to TeXify, these could serve as a template.
