GUTenberg, cr\'e\'e en 1988, est compos\'e d'un grand nombre de chercheurs, universitaires mais aussi de professionnels de l'\'edition, \'editeurs et imprimeurs ainsi que d'entreprises de tous secteurs. L'un des objectifs de l'association est de \oguill \ \it favoriser les \'echanges de techniques permettant d'augmenter les possibilit\'es d'impressions et de publications scientifiques.\ \fguill\rm\ Elle reste donc ouverte \`a toutes les nouveaut\'es provenant de la communaut\'e \TeX{} ou de tout autre environnement logiciel. GUTenberg \'edite une revue (4 num\'eros par an) appel\'ee \sl Cahiers GUTenberg\rm, distribue des versions logicielles des diff\'erents composants \TeX{} et dispose d'une messagerie accessible depuis tous les r\'eseaux connect\'es au r\'eseau EARN.\par \bigskip \ \par {\Large Avis aux exposants}\par \bigskip L'espace r\'eserv\'e aux exposants \'etant relativement r\'eduit, il est conseill\'e de prendre contact le plus rapidement possible avec le comit\'e d'organisation du congr\`es. \bigskip {\Large Patronnages}\par \bigskip Plusieurs soci\'et\'es ou organismes publics ont fait part de leur intention de patronner le congr\`es GUTenberg'90.

D'autres lieux de tourisme, en dehors de la \oguill \ \it ville rose \fguill\rm, tels la ville fortifi\'ee de Carcassonne ou de nombreux endroits des Pyr\'en\'ees m\'eritent un d\'etour. Bon s\'ejour dans les r\'egions Midi-Pyr\'en\'ees et Languedoc-Roussillon. \newpage \ehyph%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% {\Large The association GUTenberg}\par\small \bigskip The association GUTenberg is one of the main \TeX{} users groups. Due to the fact that GUTenberg is composed of French-speaking people it can work tightly with the {\it newly international\/} \TeX{} Users Group (TUG). \medskip GUTenberg was officially created in 1988 and is a non-profit association of researchers, academic people and also professionals of publishing like editors, printers as well as companies working on various economic areas. One of the main goals of this association is to ``\it favour technical exchanges allowing the growth of printing facilities and of scientific publishing.''\ \rm\ In such a way, it is delighted to study all new products coming from the \TeX{} community and other software domains. \medskip GUTenberg is the editor of a quarterly journal named \sl Cahiers GUTenberg\rm, distributor of various \TeX{} versions and other components of \TeX{} applications. It offers a discussion list on network which may be accessed from any network connected to EARN.\par \ \par \bigskip {\Large Advice for exhibitors}\par \bigskip The show-room dedicated to exhibitors is relatively tiny. Please get in touch as quickly as possible with the organisation committee.\par \ \par \bigskip {\Large Sponsors}\par \bigskip A lot of companies and public organizations intend to sponsor GUTenberg'90. The full list of these organizations will be printed when the deals will be put in concrete form.\par \ \par \bigskip {\Large Sightseeing}\par \bigskip Toulouse town, the place of congress is such an historical site that you must not leave this beautiful {\em pink city} without visiting it. Other places distant of Toulouse from a hundreth of miles are very exciting, for example the fortress of Carcassonne and also a lot of landscapes or villages in the Pyr\'en\'ees mountains. Have a good trip in the Midi-Pyr\'en\'ees and Languedoc-Roussillon districts. \end{document} %--------------------------- CUT HERE ----------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 24 Nov 89 02:38:59 EST From: justin@harry.CRIM.CA (Justin Bur) Subject: Re: TeX 3.0: What now? Keywords: TeX 3, 8-bit character sets, ISO 8859, ISO 6937 Here are a few comments on the recent discussion on 8-bit character sets and some suggestions for their use with TeX. Adobe fonts: the PostScript Standard Encoding is not ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1), but it comes quite close to being a subset of ISO 6937, an earlier standard 8-bit character set that contained separate diacritical marks to be overstruck with ordinary letters. Recent Adobe fonts contain at least 228 characters, only 149 of which are assigned default codes. Contrary to what Adobe documentation says, this is not ISO Latin-1; however, all of the ISO Latin-1 graphics are included and it is easy to program the necessary encoding vector. ISO 8859 specifies at least seven character sets, of which the first four deal with Latin alphabets. All of them reserve codes 0 to 037 (octal) and 0177 to 0237 for control characters. Codes 040 to 0176 are the same as ISO 646 (USASCII). Codes 0240 to 0377 contain accented (or non-Latin) letters and additional symbols that might be needed in the countries likely to use the character set. Some of the sets have a few empty spaces which are reserved for future extensions to the standard. The remainder of this article offers suggestions for the use of TeX with Latin alphabets only; different scripts will require separate consideration. The input character set used with TeX 3.0 is therefore likely to be any of ISO 8859-1 through 4, or even (unfortunately) Macintosh or IBM PC codes. It would be advisable to provide standard, accurately compiled macro files for each of these character sets to map as many characters as possible onto the graphics available in the standard Computer Modern fonts. Even if Computer Modern does not use it, an extension of the usual TeX output character set (i.e. positions of graphics in fonts) to 256 characters may not be a bad idea either. It would serve as a basis to standardize the assignment of graphics to codes for dvi drivers that make use of fonts provided with typesetters and printers. At the European TeX users' meeting in Karlsruhe (W. Germany) in September, a discussion was held on standardizing TeX character sets, at the instigation of Jan Michael Rynning . A recommendation was not finalized (we ran out of time!), but some principles for the design of the character sets were put forth. - The input character set should be one of ISO 8859-1 through 4, depending on local needs. - Precomposed accented letters should be present in the output set (this is often necessary to produce output of sufficient quality). Since there are too many diacritical-letter combinations to fit in 128 positions, it is necessary to have more than one output set. - The logical choice seems to be one output set for each input set. This way locally-used accented letters are available precomposed, while other accented letters can be produced in the traditional manner. - The output character sets should use the assignments of the current CM fonts for the lower 128 positions. When choosing the upper 128, the principle of omitting unnecessary input graphics to leave extra space in the output set may be used (cf. TeXbook p. 427: "Some of the ASCII symbols are not included because they don't occur in normal printer's fonts") - but only in positions where all four input sets have the same graphic. The typewriter fonts, however, should include all of the input set's graphics in their correct positions. - Any additional letters (such as thorn and eth) not obtainable by composing diacritics and the standard alphabet should be present in all output sets. These characters should appear in control- character positions (0200-0237). (This leads to the possibility that these characters appear twice in certain sets; in the output set based on Latin-1, for example, AE Eth Oslash Thorn ae eth oslash thorn germandbls could be duplicated. Either that, or the positions they occupy in the input set should be reassigned.) - Once all of the alphabetic characters have been assigned places, all the remaining codes should be used for additional useful typographic signs (perhaps chosen from the Adobe fonts). I hope this list reflects the discussions at Karlsruhe reasonably accurately without giving too much weight to my own ideas.
