Punctuation marks usually have \catcode 12, not 11. It should even work if they are active.

One problem with your method is that it turns
He said "no"!
into
He said ``no``!
As I understand standard English punctuation, periods and commas
normally go inside the closing quotation mark (and so your method works
for them) but colons, semicolons, exclamation points, and question marks
go outside. And then there is the morass of 'nested "quotations"'!
I prefer to let my text editor do the work. At least, if it
guesses wrong then I will notice and I can correct it. See my TeX
macros (still under construction) for the vim text editor:

ttfont & tetex : help please
Hi,
I follow the doc "Using TrueType fonts with teTEX and dvips" for installing
"verdana.ttf" into my tetex-1.0.6 RH6.1.
I use the name "jvnr8a" for this font after Fontname of K. Berry.
With a simple example :
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\begin{document}
\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{jvn}\rmfamily
Test font VERDANA truetype with LaTeX !\\
\end{document}
I got dvi file, but when I try to view with xdvi; I have error :
[quy@iris] ~/tmp/ttf/test$ xdvi ttf-tetex.dvi
kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode ljfive --bdpi 600 --mag 1+120/600 --dpi 720 jvnr8r

xdvi.bin: Can't find font jvnr8r.1493pk

My font "jvnr8a.pfb" has already install in :
/usr/share/texmf.local/fonts/pfb/microsft/verdana/
I done "texhash" ...
I don't know why ...
Any help will be appreciated very much.
Thanks in advance,
Quy

The It did not plug in easily when I looked at it some time ago (problems including it into the source tree and problems with map files). I think that I'll add dvipdfm some time in the future. Thomas

There is no such thing as a teTeX document file.
Other than that, presentation files might look like this:
\documentclass[25pt,a4paper,landscape]{foils}
\begin{document}
\foilhead{Gliederung}
\ldots
\end{document}
Works for me but doesn't make use of seminar.

Hi, Verwalter Dr.Betz writes: > - the configure of dvipdfm does not like my kpathsea under > SUSE Linux 6.3 keep trying to get it to work. You need to give ./configure the correct --prefix and --data-dir options. It pays off. We found that dvipdfm is the second-best tool after destiller (i.e, the best free tool) to produce pdf from latex files without changing the source: font embedding works, most ps-pictures work out of the box (simply avoid patterns in xfig, e.g.), thumbnails work, hyperref works. Thomas: is there a particular reason for it not being included in tetex? I did not find any offending copyright notice. The occasional segfaults in earlier versions have apparently by now been taken care of.

Based on a search of old news group articles at Deja.com,
I implemented the following small script, dvi2pdf which
with the flag -landscape achieves what you want.
You'll have to install the file landscape.ps somewhere
below $TEXMF/dvips/. This solution does not work for
files with a mixture of portrait and landscape pages,
I don't know how/if that could be handled.
Note that we run teTeX 0.9, so for teTeX 1.x, you should
probably replace -Ptype1 with -Ppdf in the script.
Unfortunately the Ghostscript 6.0 distribution includes
a script dvipdf which will not give Type 1 fonts unless
dvips is configured to always use them.
Hope this helps
