Re: How can I instruct dvips to use outline fonts instead of the CM ones?

Re: How can I instruct dvips to use outline fonts instead of the CM ones?
There are outline versions of the CM fonts, but some publications and organizations insist on specific fonts.

Which might mean a problem with something entirely unrelated to the fonts (e.g., wrong papersize, problems with links, etc.). Then your font map files for dvips are not appropriate for the set of fonts you have installed. It is very hard to know what is going on without more details. If the problem is related to fonts, then it is useful to keep track of exactly which fonts are being used. When dvips runs, it lists the font files: $ dvips -P pdf story.dvi This is dvips(k) 5.92a Copyright 2002 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com) ' TeX output 2003.01.23:1320' - story.ps tex.proalt-rule.protexc.prof7b6d320.enctexps.pro. cmr10.pfb cmsl10.pfbcmbx10.pfb[1] From this we see that the Type 1 versions of cmr10, cmsl10, and cmbx10 were used. If you can get the resulting pdf file to a computer running *nix, then it is easy to check which fonts are actually used in a pdf file. $ pdffonts story.pdf name type emb sub uni object ID --- --- --- - KGIMMU+CMBX10Type 1 yes yes no 10 0 NSPLPE+CMSL10Type 1 yes yes no 13 0 ZHKQYB+CMR10 Type 1 yes yes no 16 0 When you view the file with acroread, you can also get a list of the fonts Alt+Ctl+F. Unfortunately, this isn't in a form that is easy to paste into email, but you should see something like: Original Font Type Used Font Type CMBX10 Type 1 Custom Embedded Subset Type 1 CMBSL10Type 1 Custom Embedded Subset Type 1 CMR10 Type 1 Custom Embedded Subset Type 1 -- George White [EMAIL PROTECTED] Head of St. Margarets Bay, Nova Scotia
Re: teTeX-2.0-rc1: two requests
1) Would it be possible to have a configure option to use the xpdf libraries already installed on the system? (We package them already in Fink.) It is quite late for that request (the release is planned for this weekend). Do you mean that you have libxpdf.a (resp. .so) and libGoo.a (resp. so) and the header files installed at standard places? If I manage to implement this, can you check if this works ok within a few hours? 2) Would it be possible to include the License statement inside the tarball, instead of separately as in v.1.0? This would make it much easier for me to document the license within the Fink system. That's easier form me to do. Which tarball do you mean (src tarball or texmf tarball)? Aside from that, I can verify that teTeX-2.0-rc1 compiles and runs just fine on Darwin/Mac OS X. Oh, that's just good news. P.S. It looks like Knuth is getting ready to release his new versions of TeX and MetaFont just in time for teTeX-2.0 ! It would have been in time if there had not been non-trivial dependencies to eTeX and Omega. We have decided not to defer teTeX-2.0 for Knuth' changes. I did include all the updates to the texmf tree, however, so we have plain.tex version 3.14159265. Thomas
suggested license for texmf tree; comments?
I plan to add the following LICENSE to the texmf tarball (will be unpacked to the top-level of the texmf tree). Comments welcome. Thomas -- The files within this directory are all free software. Most of these files are copyright by some author(s), but I have taken care that the following conditions are true: - all files can be distributed: no license fee is required - using these files (even for commercial purpose) is not restricted - modification of files is allowed and the distribution of subsets of these files are allowed; but, please check the individual license before doing that (you might need to mark changes in some way or rename modifies files and some files might only be distributed together with other files) If you find any file that violates any of these conditions, please report that to me.

LICENSE for src tarball
The same for the src tarball. The license is somewhat different. Comments welcome. Thomas -- The files within this directory are all free software. Most of these files are copyright by some author(s), but I have taken care that the following conditions are true: - all files can be distributed: no license fee is required - using these files (even for commercial purpose) is not restricted - modification of files is allowed or an existing translation scheme effectively makes modification unnecessary. E.g. Knuth's WEB files must not be changed, but the build process allows you to use change the generated .c files by change files. Please, check the license of a file befory you do modifications; you might need to mark those modifications or to rename the program. - the distribution of modified files and subsets of these files is allowed, but please check the licenses if you do that If you find any file that violates any of these conditions, please report that to me.

teTeX-2.0 - second release candidate
Hi, this is the second release candidate for teTeX-2.0. I have put the files to my server, but they'll soon be available for download at CTAN: ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX/2.0/distrib/tetex-src-2.0-rc1.tar.gz ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX/2.0/distrib/tetex-texmf-2.0-rc1.tar.gz ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX/2.0/distrib/tetex-texmfsrc-2.0-rc1.tar.gz or ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX/2.0/distrib/tetex-src-2.0-rc1.tar.gz ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX/2.0/distrib/tetex-texmf-2.0-rc1.tar.gz ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX/2.0/distrib/tetex-texmfsrc-2.0-rc1.tar.gz All sources and texmf files should be ready for release, except teTeX specific documentation (which I am still working on). xdvik is 22.40v-RC2, but only the documentation will change for the 22.40v release. If all is good, I'll make the teTeX-2.0 release this weekend.

Re: teTeX-2.0 - second release candidate
* texbook.tex / mfbook.tex removed (license, argh!) Definitely the right thing to do. If you have found them on CTAN in a location outside of the nonfree tree, you should notify the CTAN maintainers: it would be definitely not nice to Addison Wesley and Knuth to suggest by a bad placement of those files that people were allowed to use them freely. Robin, are you listening? Thomas
