Subject: Generating structured, plain text (7-bit ASCII) files
From: "John Vokey"
Date: Sat, 2 Nov 2002 15:59:57 -0700
I'm in desperate need (a journal is demanding it, rather than dvi, ps,
or pdf) of a method to generate plain text, 7-bit ASCII text files from
LaTeX-coded documents such that the *structure* of the LaTeXed document
is retained (i.e., titles, sections, headings, references, and
footnotes). I tried using ADOBE Acrobat, but it creates a long text
file (i.e., no page breaks), but with the headers inter-mixed with the
text and line-endings hard-coded, and most formatting is simply lost
(e.g., emphasis is just dropped rather than flagged in some way). I am
aware that there are methods available to strip the LaTeX command
macros, but that is not what I need: I need the text *after* the macros
have been processed. Any suggestions? Oh, and to stay remotely on
topic, it has to work on Mac OS X and can't (by aesthetic if not
ethical principle) involve Micro$Sloth products of any kind.

Dear Gerben,
I think there is a problem with context fonts on this distribution.
I am running 10.2.1 and I downloaded the Friday images from below onto a
machine partition that previously had not had tetex installed. I installed
into the default locations so that texmf is in
/usr/local/tetex/share/texmf/
Short test programs appear to run in latex, including when using
\usepackage{pslatex}
In context however I cannot get the fonts to work properly and it appears =
to
be because of a problem with "tex root". For instance the command
texfont --encoding=3Dec --batch type-tmf.dat
Fails on each command line with the message
processing aborted : unknown tex root
I used a modified type-tmf.dat with
--fontroot=3D/usr/local/tetex/share/texmf/
Added to each line
I also needed to copy ec.enc into the working directory from another
computer, and then the creation of fonts appears to work.
Compilation of a simple context file using cm fonts (ie normal defaults)
without font change is nearly OK, there is a warning however
Warning pdfetex (file
/usr/local/teTex/share/texmf.local/pdftex/config/pdftex.cfg): invalid =
line
in config file `pdf_minorversion 4'
Which seems to be your addition. Note the capital T in teTex here?
Using the lines
\setupencoding[default=3Dec]
\setupbodyfont[pos]
Causes the message that
Warning: pdfetex (file ec-raw-utmr8a): Font ec-raw-utmr8a at 720 not found
And the font is not incorporated leaving a blank page. The tfm file
/usr/local/tetex/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/urw/times/ec-raw-utmr8a.tfm
Is present on the disc.
It appears that all of these problems stem from the tex root for fonts not
being correct somewhere. Does the capital T have anything to do with it? I
am now at my limit of knowledge!!
TIA. I hope this is clear.

I am looking into this with you off list, but for the others a
remark/reply:

The default location of my packages is in fact /usr/local/teTeX. The
capitalization might matter in some cases. teTeX is a unix TeX and Unix
tools generally assume that a file system is case sensitive. HFS+, the
default file system for Mac OS X is not case sensitive, but case
insensitive with respect to opening files and case 'sensitive' with
respect to presenting the name of a file to the outside world. This
behaviour is called 'case preserving'.
The search algorithm that TeX has for locating files is case sensitive.
Here are a few rules:
1. In general, it is best with TeX to keep your capitalization.
2. If you are having problems with file locations, make sure you are
using proper capitalization before you conclude there is something
wrong.
If you want to use lowercase-only filenames, you can install TeX in a
non-default location using i-Installer v2. In fact, I would currently
use /usr/local/tetex as the default if that would not play havoc with
people who already have TeX installed on case-sensitive file systems:
they would end up with two TeX systems on their disk.

Subject: New i-Directory and Server locations for i-Installer
From: "Gerben Wierda"
Date: Sun, 3 Nov 2002 21:39:06 +0100
I am happy to announce the following server locations:
TUG: http://tug.org/i-packages/iid/gwtug.iid
NTG: http://www.ntg.nl/macosx-tex/i-packages/iid/gwntg.iid
University of UTAH:
http://www.math.utah.edu/ftp/pub/i-packages/iid/gwutah.iid
Yale University: http://bloch.ling.yale.edu/i-packages/iid/gwyale.iid
A thank you to the organisations that support these locations.
You can enter one of these i-Directories in i-Installer's preferences.
All four sites now carry i-Packages and i-Directories. Their
i-Directories all link to the next site, so by increasing the maximum
descend level for i-Directories in preferences, you will see the
packages on more servers in Known Packages.
I will keep these servers up-to-date (for the time being, I might drop
one or two later, depending on people's experiences with them as I have
now more than doubled the amount of upload traffic I have to perform).
It is of course still rather easy to set up an i-Packages mirror.

Subject: i-Installer behind a firewall
From: "Michael Murray"

Hi all
This sounds like an RTFM, apologies if that is the case - I tried
Gerben's pages and a search on the list archive and couldn't find
anything.
Does the i-Installer work behind an authenticating proxy server ?
At work I have to go through an http proxy that wants a username
password authentification. At home I am directly connected.
I have used i-installer at home on my laptop but at work it and my
desktop machine complain which I am guessing means it cannot get
past the proxy.
I have a method for getting around this which is to use authoxy
http://rambler.newcastle.edu.au/~c2004527/Products.html
but I thought I would check that the situation with proxies
is as I am imagining it.
Presumably another approach is that I can download a package at home to
my laptop, fatten it and then transfer it to my desktop at work??
Thanks - Michael

Subject: Adding .pict image support to pdflatex
From: "Scott Prahl"
Date: Sun, 3 Nov 2002 21:53:21 -0800
Hi,
I am slowly throwing off the shackles of Textures. I have
many legacy LaTeX files that have figures in Apple's PICT
file format, which is supported by Textures via
\includegraphics{file.pict}. I would like to typeset these
files in TeXShop (i.e. pdflatex), but, of course .pict files
are not supported.
I looked around for a utility to do the pict2pdf conversion,
but found nothing. Most converters just converted the
.pict file to bitmap and then put a pdf wrapper around the
bitmap. This was both big and ugly.
I finally found the pieces of code (in an Apple code example)
to create a real pict2pdf vector-to-vector converter.
My efforts are available at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pict2pdf
Now "pict2pdf test.pict" will produce "test.pdf".
So just to make sure that my converter works, I manually
converted test.pict to test.pdf. When I typeset
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
start
\includegraphics{test.pdf}
finish
\end{document}
everything worked fine. However when I try
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\DeclareGraphicsRule{.pict}{pdf}{.pdf}{`pict2pdf #1}
\begin{document}
start
\includegraphics{test.pict}
finish
\end{document}
when the .pdf file is already present, pdflatex leaves space
for the graphic, but does not include it.
when the .pdf file is not present causes pdflatex to fail with
Error: pdftex (file test.pdf): cannot find image file
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Scott

Probably not. You better download the volume instead

Note that since 10.2, proxies should be OK. Caches might give trouble

Not in the OT1 encoding...
In the OT1 encoding, the '044 slot contains :
- the dollar symbol in roman shapes
- the pound symbol in italic shapes
In text mode \pound is \textsterling and see ot1enc.def \textsterling calls
\fontshape{ui}.
There is three solutions
1 - $\pounds$ (but the symbol will probably be slanted...
2 - install an ui version of the font
3 - use the T1 encoding...

you must be right. I've just checked the output log and it is clear=20
that t1mbb.fd is called. But so is ot1mbbx.fd. Also I didn't specify=20

Subject: i-Installer v2 Release Candidate 3c
From: "Gerben Wierda"
Date: Mon, 4 Nov 2002 13:16:12 +0100
A new i-Installer v2 (RC3c) has been uploaded. This version has a
slightly smarter interface with respect to i-Directories (Known
Packages). Next to creating/opening i-Packages on the basis of the
remote location, it also enables you to walk the i-Directory tree. Or
in other words, set your default i-Directory in Preferences, set the
descend level to 1, and then use the i-Directory table in the known
packages window to use a different i-Directory as root. Walk the
i-Directory web that way.

Subject: how best to draw diagrams
From: "Daniel Becker"
Date: Mon, 4 Nov 2002 13:51:15 +0100
Hello,
for a paper in economics (trade theory) I have to draw several diagrams.
Up to now, I am looking what the Lamport-book says and draw the pictures
using the commands for arrows, lines, curves etc. And this is very time
consuming, especially to get tangential points right.
It would be nice if anyone could have a look at the pictures and
recommend a better / more efficient way to draw them. I would prefer
LaTeX-Code for the pictures, not simply any graphics/drawing package and
then including .pdf- or .jpg-files.
The pdf-output with all the pictures is here:
http://homepage.mac.com/dtbecker/.cv/dtbecker/Public/TP1.pdf-binhex.hqx
most of the pictures are included as .jgp-files, a snapshot from other
papers.
The .tex-file is here:
http://homepage.mac.com/dtbecker/.cv/dtbecker/Public/TP1.tex-binhex.hqx
Thanks for any help and in general for this very helpful list!

The reference to the /sw directory seems to indicate that you have Fink=20=
installed. This is known to have created problems with Gerben Wierda's=20=
teTeX in the past. Maybe it still does. As I don't have Fink, I cannot=20=

Looking at your drawings, PSTricks comes to mind as a good way to
achieve this kind of output from within LaTeX.
You may already have it in your installation.
It is worth it to print the manual and have it handy.
If you have TeXShop/teTeX, it is down at something like
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/doc/generic/pstricks.

Xy-pic is probably better for this kind of thing.
It is much more flexible in how to specify the kind
of relationships inherent in the layout of those diagrams.
Hope this helps,

On the other hand, if you want your .tex file to be readable on other
platforms, you can use `` and '' to get directed double quote marks.

Thank you very much for the hint, what I can see from the manuals so
far, xy-pic is perfect for my purpose.
Am I right that xy-pic is not distributed as an i-package? If yes, is
there any safe way to install xy-pic without the risk of damaging my
(nicely working) texshop&i-installer-TeX installation? Which parts of
the xy-3.7 folder I just downloaded almost entirely are essential? Sorry
for this maybe stupid question, but I am a user without any
UNIX-knowledge and OSX makes me a little bit worried that my computer is
doing things I have no idea what they are...

I don't think you can ruin anything if you install any extra files in
your local tree (rather than the global teTeX tree).
I have some packages that I copied over from other machines and
simply created a
hierarchy inside my Library folder.
The unix path is something like ~/Library/texmf/tex/...
(using the Finder, open your home folder, then the Library folder inside =
it.
Successive create a folder, name it "texmf" then open it and inside
create another new folder and call it "tex". Then place anything you
need inside that (subfolders are ok, and even recommended to keep
things organized).

Hi Daniel
It should already be there as part of the teTeX distribution in
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/generic/xypic/
Mine appears to be version 3.7

It is part of teTeX .
The package files are in .../texmf/tex/generic/xypic/
The PostScript Type1 fonts and metrics should be installed already.
e.g.
[go:~] rossmoor% kpsewhich xy.tex
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/generic/xypic/xy.tex
[go:~] rossmoor% kpsewhich xyatip10.tfm
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/xypic/xyatip10.tfm
[go:~] rossmoor% kpsewhich xyatip10.pfb
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/xypic/xyatip10.pfb
Documentation is here:
[go:~] rossmoor% ls /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/doc/generic/xypic/
CATALOG COPYING MANIFEST README TRAILER VERSIONS =
xyguide.ps xyrefer.ps
The only thing that extra that you might like, for TeXShop and pdfTeX,
is the (experimental) xypdf driver; see the link on the page:
http://www-texdev.ics.mq.edu.au/WARM/
Hope this helps,
and enjoy Xy-pic

Subject: yet more TeXShop slowness
From: "tom keyes"
Date: 4 Nov 2002 17:28:03 -0500
Hi all,
the slow syntax coloring has never bothered me. however until today i had
slow coloring but normal text editing. today for the first time text
editing became amazingly slow - a burst of typing could take 10-15 seconds
to appear. so i turned off syntax coloring and text editing was back to
normal. the slow coloring and slow editing are related, then - does the
program check for coloring after every keystroke? i wonder why text =
editing
was normal for so long? it's not a case of a document getting longer
because i'm just editing a document without changing its size much.
sorry if this has already been discussed.
TIA for any suggestions.

I've got the same problem with iMacTex. Syntax coloring seems to be slow
in a number of TeX editors.

Hi
How large is the document? I have found large - book size documents
are very slow. Smaller papers 5-10 pages are OK.
