Subject: footnote with asterisk
From: "Kentaro Nakatani"

Dear All:
I'm sorry that this topic is not necessarily related to Mac OS X,
but I have a question for which I can't find an answer.
In a paper, it is common to have the first footnote containing
acknowledgments marked with an asterisk...but how can
I do it in LaTeX? Lamport book says in using \footnote[num]{text},
num should be a positive integer, 'even when footnotes are
"numbered" with letters or other symbols'. But I don't see
how to number the footnotes with letters or symbols.
My best guess is, this could be achieved by "\fnsymbol{footnote}"
command...but it seems this command only produces symbols,
rather than replacing the footnote counters.
So when I tried a command like this:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
\LARGE
\textbf{Title of the Paper \fnsymbol{footnote}\footnote{
\fnsymbol{footnote}
I'm indebted to blah blah blah.}}
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
there were regular footnote counters AND asterisks at the same time.
If I use \footnotetext instead of \footnote, there will still be an
unwanted
numerical counter remaining.
Could anybody help me with this problem?
Thank you.
-Ken N.

Howdy,
Use: \renewcommand\thefootnote{\fnsymbol{footnote}} before the \maketitle,
or whatever you use to make the title.
Then, use the same substituting \roman for \fnsymbol and also
\addtocounter{footnote}{-1} after the \maketitle to go back to roman
numerals and restart with footnote number 1.
Hopefully I've got this correct.
Good Luck,
Herb Schulz

Dear Herb,
Oh, I should've redefined \thefootnote command...silly me!
It worked perfectly well (except that I would re-redefine
\thefootnote back into \arabic rathar than into \roman :-).
I thank you very much, Herb, for your amazingly quick
and useful reply.

Subject: Full Screen PDF presentation?
From: "Tom Kornack"
Date: Sun, 24 Nov 2002 22:04:22 -0500
Hi folks:
I write all my presentations using pdftex in TeXShop. I currently use
Acrobat reader to display the pdfs in a presentation mode - filling the
screen and navigating with the arrow keys. Whereas Acrobat Reader
renders text using antialiasing, it does not render embedded vector
artwork using the same beautiful antialiasing. I notice, however, that
Apple's pdf rendering engine provides much better output and does
antialias my included pdf graphs, etc. Does anyone know of a simple
presentation program that would display my pdfs full screen using
Apple's pdf rendering? Could this be a feature of TeXShop?
A sample presentation is here:

I just downloaded the pdf and viewed it full-screen in Acrobat 5.0.5
(not reader). All of the vector artwork looks pretty darn good here.
Might it have something to do with whether or not your machine supports
Quartz Extreme (I know that mine does)? In fact it looks good in both
Acrobat and Preview.

In Acrobat 5.0.5 Reader, go to Preferences, select the Display item on
the left, and click the "Smooth Line Art" checkbox. Works like a
charm, but it doesn't seem to be enabled by default (at least not on my
installation).
If I can change the topic slightly, I have to present a paper (not my
own) shortly, and was going to take the same approach you describe. (I
can't *stand* PowerPoint. Possibly the worst font rendering I've ever
seen in a modern app.) Could you list what packages you're using to
produce your presentation? It has a nice, clean look to it: just what
I'm going for.
Many thanks,
-Patrick

Once I did that I couldn't see a difference.
I also see no difference between my PB G4 400
without Quartz Extreme and my Dual 1 gig desktop which is running
Quartz Extreme.

There's a great page that covers more than anyone wants. I currently
use foiltex, simple, but simple. Gets the job done. I've used pdfscreen
once, but never got to even give the presentation ("must be in

Howdy,
I actually thought of that but was under the impressions that it would =
still
use the numbered footnote (a la the example in "A Guide to LaTeX"). I =
should
have checked it out before answering the way I did. Using \thanks{} in the
\author{} command seems to work great; I'll remember that, thanks.
The original example would have used the method I suggested.
Good Luck,

Oh, that command slipped out of my mind.
But I am not using \title{} in this specific paper I'm working on
(because this paper is supposed be Camera-ready
and I don't feel like customizing \title{}, which seems to be a more
laborious task than directly inserting the title and the author name
in the body), so \thanks{} doesn't work anyway.
But thanks for reminding me.

The problem with lettrine.sty is that, if you want to use a Haralambous=20=
Initial, then you must use dvips -->ghostscript -->distiller rather=20
than pdftex, because lettrine will only allow you to 'drop' a graphic=20
file if it is in EPS format. So even if you have them in pdf format=20
lettrine will not let you use them. This is a pity. (If anyone knows=20
the creator Daniel Flipo, perhaps a word could be put in his shell-like=20=
ear that an adaptation for pdftex would be a boon for mankind.)

Subject: Drop Caps using lettrine.sty
From: "Bob Kerstetter"

Downloaded the lettrine stuff from CTAN.
Then as the lettrine docs say, in part:
Ran latex on lettrine.dtx to get the documentation (lettrine.dvi),
Ran latex on lettrine.ins to strip the comments and create lettrine.sty.
Then as GW's online doc says:
Created /Library/texmf/tex/latex/misc and stuck lettrine.sty into it.
Put \usepackage{lettrine} at the top of the doc.
Put \lettrine{B}{lah foo blah blah. . . . for about four lines.} in
the document body.
Result: Dropcap looked fine. The first line had the correct indention.
But it never wrapped. It took off to the right and kept on going.
Go this messages from the console, which appears to be the important
message in this case:
Overfull \hbox (2216.00104pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 47--48
Any suggestions?
