Look at "font smoothing style" in the General System Preferences pane.

One of the not quite obvious features of Acrobat: If you switch the
display to Continous ("Fortlaufend" in my German version, i.e., not
single pages and not double pages), you can do a Select All and then
copy&paste the entire text of the document in one chunk.

Subject: bad pdf
From: "Gianluca Gorni"

Hello!
I was used to hearing complaints about Quarz problems with pdf,
for which AcrobatReader came to the rescue.
Now I have met a pdf that prints fine with Preview (and with
MacGS PPC in MacOS 9) but prints all wrong with Acrobat
(both 5.0 and 5.1, classic or X). The problem is a lot of
missing characters, starting from the middle of page 5 onward.
It occurred with 3 different postscript printers.
In all cases the file looks OK on screen.
The pdf was made with Textures + Distiller under MacOS 9.
Does anybody know a way to check if a pdf is safe to post
on the internet? What shall I answer, say, a Windows user
who reports printing problems with my pdf?
Any suggestion?
Thank you in advance,
Gianluca Gorni

I already had this problem 3 - 4 times: what worked for me was: restart=20=
the computer (OS X 10.1.5, printing on a USB Brother HL-1250 printer) &=20=
all went well. I do not know what causes it, only that restarting=20
worked, so I guess the problem is with the printing or OS X rather than=20=
with the PDF file itself.

Subject: Tex4ht question in TeXShop
From: "John Vokey"
Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2002 13:08:51 -0700
I managed to get get TeX4ht to work (sort of), but all the math that it
is supposed to render as pictures either doesn't get produced or at any
rate can't be found when the file is 'TeXed into dvi in TeXShop. I get
hundreds of errors like these in the log:
/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current/dvips: Could not find
figure file t4ht@+ ; continuing
and
/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current/dvips: Could not find
figure file t4ht; continuing
Otherwise the resulting html code using default tex4ht (i.e.,
usepackage[]{tex4ht}) is quite good.
Is it a path problem or what?

^^^^^^
this looks like your original file names/paths contained the ~ character,
which has been interpreted as a non-breaking space for HTML.
That's clearly not correct for this context.

Use of special characters in filenames will always cause problems
in TeX, especially when the filename is to be passed as an argument
to other macros -- i.e. pretty much always.
TeX needs to be told *before* reading the filename, to *not* treat
the special characters as it would do during normal text input.
The url package has a command \urldef which helps to do this.
Hope this helps,

Subject: BBEdit 7.0
From: "Michael Murray"
Date: Thu, 14 Nov 2002 10:42:13 +1030
There is a BBEdit update out. The BBEdit site is down. See
www.macintouch.com for pricing.
Two good things for TeX:
1. It now launches quickly. 6.5 was slowest thing I had on my computer.
2. The command line tool allows an `open a line command'. This makes it =
easy
to use BBEdit for editing tex. If you put setenv TEXEDIT "bbedit +%d %s"
in your .cshrc then doing `e' when you strike an error in command line
latex will automatically open the file in bbedit at the correct line.
These remarks relate to the commercial version of BBEdit of course.
