Berry" Date: Fri, 23 Aug 1996 15:56:09 -0400 Subject: Re: TeXhax Digest V96 #12 In the times font ptmr8r, the usual positions for the left single quote "60 and for the right single quote "27 contain instead of the symbols found in the font cmr a symbol that looks like a grave accent and a symbol that looks like a vertical prime, respectively. How is one to get matched single quotes? There is an older font rptmr that has the usual single quotes in those positions. Is there some way to use the font ptmr8r and still get the usual single quotes, for example, by means of some trick using virtual fonts and rptmr? Use ptmr (close to plain-compatible) or ptmr8q (Cork), which have the usual quotes in the usual positions. Those are virtual fonts based on 8r. I wouldn't call them tricks, exactly. ptmr8r is close to Windows-compatible, for reasons explained in the 8r.enc source file. Its primary purpose is to make all characters commonly present in Type 1 fonts available for typesetting (i.e., with virtual fonts), not to be the One True Encoding for typesetting itself. If you want to use 8r itself, then you'll have to make ` and ' active and have them typeset the right character. You probably don't want to do this. ------------------------------ From: Erik Frambach Date: Thu, 29 Aug 1996 10:33:26 GMT+0200 Subject: (Fwd) Repeated announcement T&G course NTG - ------- Forwarded Message Follows ------- Date: Mon, 26 Aug 1996 13:03:16 +0200 Reply-to: Netherlands Tex users-Group , Kees van der Laan From: Kees van der Laan Subject: Repeated announcement T&G course NTG ---------------------------------------------------------- |Announcement NTG's one-day low-budget no-nonsense course| | | | (La)TeX and Graphics | ---------------------------------------------------------- What?

I have tried crawling the web pages but with little success... I am running LaTeX2.09 (dated 9/1/90) under DOS. I am towards the end of writing my thesis and am currently trying to compile it as one document (rather than individual chapters) using \include instructions. On first compilation it runs fine, and will continue to compile on each subsequent compilation UNLESS I have run BibTeX first. In this case, I can only get it to recompile if I instruct "del *.aux" prior to recompilation - obviously not very satisfactory. The number of different references is around 180 at present (although there are many more \citeasnoun instructions). The error message I am getting on recompiling after running BibTeX is insufficient memory. On looking at the .log file it appears to be "save size" that is crashing. After first compilation the memory counter is "362s" and then on second compilation I get "601s ... out of ... 600s". Other sections of memory appear to be fine. I have tried to reduce the number of \citeasnoun, but this appears to make no difference. If I edit my .aux file to manually remove about 50 of the 180 citations it will recompile with no problem. Any ideas about what I should do to get it to recompile with no crashes after running BibTeX? I would be very grateful if you would email me direct with any potential solutions. Thanking you in advance for your help.

To find the flavor you need, look them up using a web browser. Also, rtf2tex and tex2rtf probably exist. Find them by searching. - -- I add this for this transmission: -- There seems to be a great deal of interest in converters to- and from- Word (on many platforms). All I know about them is that the conversions work as follows: Word Doc. -> Word(Save As) -> RTF(text)Doc.-> rtf2latex -> LaTeX Doc. -> LaTeX or Latex Document -> latex2rtf -> Word(read and convert RTF) -> Word Document Some TeX/LaTeX expert could provide a valuable service by setting up a site dedicated to such converters. I am almost totally ignorant of the issues; for me to become involved would be foolhardy. Please, would an informed person step up to provide this service (a Converter Site)?

In addition to adapting xtem to the new Tcl/Tk, we have done errror corrections and added new features, such as: - installation (and maintenance of the logfiles) is much easier with the (new) installation procedure, - (optional) logfile analyze after TeX run, you can then click at each error message (incl. overfull/underfull boxes) in order to edit the texfile at the corresponding position, - "quick&dirty" button for quick TeXing and previewing of a small text fragment (including preamble), - the edit file can be selected from other directories than the main file, - (optional) vertical scrollbars for the text widgets, - revision of all bindings (conforming behaviour: actions are done at button release), - LaTeX syntax got it's own button now. Most setting files from older versions of xtem may be kept unchanged: - mkcommand.vst must be updated - texfmt.vst should be updated to enable "quick&dirty" - logform.vst one line concerning logfile analyze can/should be added You will find all files on our file server: http://ftp.iwd.uni-bremen.de/xtem/xtem_texmenu.html or ftp://ftp.iwd.uni-bremen.de/pub/tex/xtem.v5/xtem_texmenu.5.23.tar.gz ftp://ftp.iwd.uni-bremen.de/pub/tex/xtem.v5/xtem_texmenu_5eng.ps.gz ftp://ftp.iwd.uni-bremen.de/pub/tex/xtem.v5/xtem_texmenu_5ger.ps.gz Here you may also find the sources: Tcl7.5, Tk4.1, TclX7.5.2 ftp://ftp.iwd.uni-bremen.de/pub/tcl/tcl7.4p2.tar.gz ftp://ftp.iwd.uni-bremen.de/pub/tcl/tk4.0p2.tar.g ftp://ftp.iwd.uni-bremen.de/pub/tcl/tclX7.4a-p1.tar.gz We have uploaded the new xtem version to the neosoft server into "/pub/tcl/incoming/", and it's already mirrored to the CTAN servers, so you also may get all the material from ftp://ftp.neosoft.com/pub/tcl/NEW/xtem_* and ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/support/xtem_texmenu/xtem.v5/* and the other CTAN servers. For those who don't know xtem_TeXMenu up to now, we give a short overview: xtem provides for a simple and comfortable graphical user interface to control the following facilities: - file and directory selection, directory creation, - editor (vi, emacs, ...) including additional windows for the LaTeX-syntax (using hypertext) and examples, - TeX, LaTeX, ..., - previewer (ghostview, xdvi, TkDvi, ...), - printing (including comfortable printer selection, ...), - syntax and spelling check, - makeindex, - bibtex, - additional programs as required, . . . Online help is available for all the buttons and windows by simple mouse click. xtem is written for Unix platforms and has been tested on many systems.
