LaBrec) Subject: different problems with VMS-TeX and LN03's I do not use the dvi2ln3 that creates fonts on the fly, rather one I modified myself to do the job based on the imagen8-300 family of drivers found in the UNIX TeX distribution, but I can probably give some answers. My driver also spits out a blank sheet after a job. The reason is that the reset command will spit out a partial page, and after the last page is printed, it deletes fonts and resets. LN03's seem to have some sort of firmware bug where if font downloads occur just after a font delete, the download fails. It is also possible that all subsequent downloads will fail until power to the printer is cycled. I worked around this problem by waiting until the delete all fonts command gets to the printer (i.e., out of any buffering that takes place), and then waiting a further 15 sec. or so for the LN03 to finish whatever it does. (Out of paranoia, I actually do a reset, sleep, delete fonts, sleep, delete fonts, sleep. Once I got it to work, I left well enough alone!)

This is how I do it. (This is extracted from my AIP (= American Inst of Physics) style.) % (2) Superscript reference numbers in citation and bibliography. You % should put the references in the logically correct place, e.g., "... as % is given by Landau \cite{landau}. Next sentence ..." \cite takes care % of removing the preceding spaces and putting the reference after the % punctuation (e.g, "... Landau.$^7$ ..."). % (3) Three or more consecutive reference numbers are represented as a % range. Thus 1,3,4,5,6,8,9 is printed as 1,3--6,8,9. No sorting is % performed; i.e., 1,3,2 is printed as such. % (4) \citenum and \citea give you more control over the appearance of % the citations. \citenum emits the plain citation number without % ornament as in "... as shown in Ref.~\citenum{foo}.". \citea puts its % argument into the ornamentation for citations. Thus \cite{foo} is % equivalent to \citea{\citenum{foo}}. \def\thebibliography#1{\par\clearpage\section*{References\@mkboth {REFERENCES}{REFERENCES}}\list {$\m@th^{\arabic{enumi}}$}{\settowidth\labelwidth{$\m@th^{#1}$}% \labelsep0pt\leftmargin\parindent \itemindent-\leftmargin\advance\itemindent\labelwidth \usecounter{enumi}} \def\newblock{\hskip .11em plus .33em minus -.07em} \sloppy \sfcode`\.=1000\relax} % Superscript citations -- skip optional arg to \cite % Move citation after period and comma. \def\@cite#1#2{\unskip\nobreak\relax \def\@tempa{$\m@th^{\hbox{\the\scriptfont0 #1}}$}% \futurelet\@tempc\@citexx} \def\@citexx{\ifx.\@tempc\let\@tempd=\@citepunct\else \ifx,\@tempc\let\@tempd=\@citepunct\else \let\@tempd=\@tempa\fi\fi\@tempd} \def\@citepunct{\@tempc\edef\@sf{\spacefactor=\the\spacefactor\relax}\@tempa \@sf\@gobble} % \citenum emits the plain citation number without ornament % \citea puts its argument into the ornamentation for citations \def\citenum#1{{\def\@cite##1##2{##1}\cite{#1}}} \def\citea#1{\@cite{#1}{}} % Collapse citation numbers to ranges.

Anyone out there know of an inexpensive or, better yet, public domain TeX previewer for a VAXstation?

Rich Holmes Syracuse University Rich@SUHEP.bitnet ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 13 Nov 87 11:06:20 GMT From: WSULIVAN%IRLEARN.BITNET@forsythe.stanford.edu Subject: FIXED MULTIPLICATION While perusing the contents of a tape containing TeX fontery, I came accross the font metric file DELUNDEL.TFM. Upon investigation I discovered that this font contains only two characters, ^char127 and ^char128, which I shall call del and undel for short. There was nothing unusual about the height, depth or italic correction of these characters, but I noted they both have rather special widths. Undel is exactly 1 scaled unit wide, while del is -1, these values of course to be divided by 2 raised to the 20th power. It seemed to me that the only purpose of del was to delete an immediately preceding undel, or perhaps it should be the other way around. Still, they are both unobservably narrow at ordinary magnification. To get a better view of them I cautiously increased the magnification value magstephalf at a time until at about 1000pt. I must be precise here, at 1024pt + 15sp as the calculation yielded, undel achieved the plump width of 64sp. But to my dismay, at this magnification del was -304sp wide, nearly -5 times as wide as undel. I thought at once that my mainframe, suffering from senility, had forgotten its fix multiplication tables. Now I am not so sure, for mysteriously the percent and delete keys on my terminal have gone dead, so instead of typing ^char127 to delete undel I must employ the devious technique of smashing a phantom. Can anyone explain the discrepancy? W.G. Sullivan ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 13 Nov 87 09:38:20 PLT From: George Cross Subject: AT&T 495 Laser Printer & TEX ?

RUNOFF produces a beautiful index ( and EASILY! ). I'd like to be able to do the same in LaTeX or TeX. LaTeX has a nice \tableofcontents facility. I don't understand why \indexniceformat was overlooked. Perhaps someone has already done it? I'm looking for something which will emulates RUNOFF's indexing capabilities i.e. something similar to the format of Indexes in the various TeX/LaTeX books. Thanks in advance, John ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 13 Nov 87 16:47:21 GMT From: Dr R M Damerell (RHBNC) Subject: Mostly fonts. 1. Font table macros. John Delgado asked for macros to generate font tables as in the TeXbook. Why not use the TeXbook macros as they stand? The TeXbook itself is copyright, but (on our tape, at any rate) the macros are not. They live in a file called MANMAC.TEX which you should have if you got your software from a reputable source. Usage: \beginchart\tenrm \normalchart \endchart \vfill 2. Scaled font problem. The problem is that when a device driver tries to open a font file, whether PXL, GF or PK , it often makes a slight miscalculation of the dot size of the font. Then it fails because it tried to open a file like "CMR10.1499PXL" ( which isnt there) instead of "1500PXL" . I suggest that the cure is quite easy. Assume the driver does something like this: @ @ {On VMS, this would be something like 'TEX$GF_DIR:CMR10.ddddGF' , where dddd is the |dot_size| } @ if not success then @ What the driver should do is: declare |dot_size| as real. Then: restart: @ dot_base := round( dot_size); delta := 0 ; if dot_size >= dot_base then step := -1 else step := 1 ; repeat @ @ delta := - delta - step ; step := - step ; until success or delta = max_delta ; {say, 5 } if not success then @ A really competent driver will determine whether it is being run in batch mode or interactively. If batch, it will assign a large value to |max_delta| and print a warning if |delta| gets large; if interactive, then @ will offer the user the choice of another font name and go to |restart| if he accepts. 3. Unusual characters. Suppose you want to make a document with 1 or 2 characters that are not in any existing TeX font (each character may be repeated many times). Please, does anybody know a clean and convenient way to do this? (I certainly do not know the answer to this one).

A while ago, I posted a request for undump for the Sun4. This message is in response to several requests for undump for the Sun 3. I have made undump for Sun OS 3.2+ available for anonymous ftp on host rutgers.edu (128.6.4.7) in ~ftp/src/undump.shar. Some people had requrested this source. Furthermore, it has the minor hack that will allow it to run on a Sun 4. For some reason, the people who wrote it included a routine scanargs() which is not portable. Well, all scanargs does is scan argv. I saw nothing terribly interesting about that and have simply circumvented that code in a rather simple way. Anyway, it's there for interested parties. Let me know if there are problems.

Most of the necessary changes were discovered (for an earlier distribution) by Jim O'Dell (sorry if the spelling is wrong) at Los Alamos. I'm not sure who to contact at Celerity's home office for the tape, but Roger Klorese (celtics!roger@seismo.css.gov) in the Boston office would know how to get it. I've sent Peter a message with all the changes I made. Most of them involve adding underscores to names of external routines written in C and appending null bytes to files because Celerity Pascal's handling of EOF is different from that of Berkeley Pascal.

We are presently using the write-white version of cmbase, which helps a lot. We use the standard Canon 300dpi settings with the write-white cmbase, and get reasonably distinct characters, but short diagonals like the springing of the curve of n and h are still discontinuous, and the effect on superarcs as in the lower-case o is to produce a character that has no relation to "Modern" proportions. some further correction macros are certainly needed.

He wants to print a few words sideways inside a table. I have thought about this sort of thing myself, but I gave up because I concluded it would be just too much work. Nonetheless, I think it can be done. One would first have to create the sideways font(s), presumably using existing metafont definitions to cut down on the work. The letters and symbols would have to be aligned in their respective boxes in such a way that the baselines are flush with the right hand edge of the box (or the left hand edge if one wanted to rotate the fonts by 90 degrees clockwise). The reason for that is that TeX boxes only know one horizontal dimension vis-a-vis a height as well as a depth for vertical measurements. (Some letters will now stick out of their respective boxes, but that can be compensated for.) Then you would have to set each individual letter in an \hbox of constant width with some glue in front to take up any slack. You collect all of these \hboxes into a \vbox as you go along. You then stick the appropriate spaces in front of that \vbox and after it, and - presto - you've got yourself a line in landscape mode. Has anyone out there ever tried something like that? gus ------------------------------ Subject: .AFM (adobe font metric) fonts Date: Mon, 16 Nov 87 09:16:21 -0800 From: solomon@aerospace.aero.org Is there a painless way to convert .AFM fonts that are in use on Apple LaserWriters to (La)Tex formats?

I've written a book of about 75 pages which contains very complex LaTeX code---lots of math equations, symbols, minipages---virtually every feature offered by LaTeX. There's a main input file that calls eleven chapters with the \input{ } command. Each chapter LaTeX's individually without problems. In fact, so do ten of the eleven chapters. Yet when LaTeX finishes with the eleventh chapter and starts writing to the .aux file, it always blows up stating that there's an error on line n--- that the text line contains an invalid character. There are no obvious errors on this line---it contains no special command other than text. I've examined the line in hex code and it's clean (no bad codes inserted by my editor). When I move text around, the error still occurs on the same line. Is there some sort of artificial maximum limit to a LaTeX document? I'm using Addison-Wesley's MicroTeX and LaTeX on an AT under DOS 3.1. Incidently, the document LaTeX's fine on my VAX 8650. David J.

Your output driver is rounding 2488 to 249 and 1728 to 173. On systems without restrictions on the length of file estensions you would be calling for *mssq8.2488pxl and *mssq8.1728pxl. Your system uses an idiosyncratic style of truncation, and it will be necessary to find some way to satisfy it. Incidentally, however, Why keep on using am* fonts at all. All the best people drink cm* these days. Pierre A. MacKay TUG Site Coordinator for Unix-flavored TeX ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 17 Nov 87 11:13:02 GMT From: WSULIVAN%IRLEARN.BITNET@forsythe.stanford.edu Subject: FIX MULTIPLICATION A few days ago I sent a rather cryptic note to TexHaX to illustrate why I believe the Fixed Multiplication algorithm in TeX does not conform to the overall high standard for accuracy and consistency set by TeX. Since this algorithm occurs in most DVI drivers, it should be familiar to many who have worked with the innards of TeX. The difficulties with the algorithm arise only in rather special circumstances. Namely the font (scaled) size must be 128 pt or more and the scaled quantity to be multiplied must be negative. I refer to TeX.tex, version 2.0, though the same algorithm occurs in many other programs. Let the dimention to be multiplied x have value -1, i.e., x is represented by four bytes each equal to 255. Let the font scaled size z be 1024 pt plus u sp, so that the representation of z as an integer is twoto(26)+u, where u is a small nonnegative integer. Fixed multiplication of these two quantities is the value -64-16(u mod 16). The reason for this is that alpha is defined before the z value is truncated, so that (u mod 16) affects alpha but not the truncated z. If alpha were defined after the while loop which truncates z, the difficulty would not arise. Since TeX uses only 23 significant bits of z in fixed multiplication, it seems as though it would be a good idea if font scaled sizes were, when necessary, truncated to 23 significant bits by TeX. Then the above inconsistency could not occur, even with the existing algorithms. The actual fluctuation caused by the present algorithm is small, at most 240 sp, but it seems intolerable given the standard otherwise set by TeX. W.G.
