Thanks for pointer to turn on smoothing in Reader; it works well.
Okay, I'm usually one to pick nits, but I would love to claim the extra
pixels around my presentation that Reader currently wastes. When I'm
presenting data, every pixel counts. How hard could it possibly be to
write a full screen PDF viewer in cocoa? Anyone have experience here?
To those who asked: I'm using seminar. I've posted some sample code
below.
Warren: Yes, Mike tolerates my use of the mac - he's actually happy
with what I can do using Octave, although he often mentions that
Genplot on Windows could do all that and cook eggs, too.

Hello Tom. Sorry for taking the liberty to write to you like this
but I couldn't keep my hands off the sample code you provided to that
amazingly beautiful thesis presentation you told us about. I was very
eager to copy it and compile it to see what it achieves but turned into
dismay when the console told me there was an error:
! Illegal parameter number in definition of \fmpage.
l.37 ...x[1.2\width]{\usebox{\fmbox}}\end{center}}
You think you could please help me fix it so that I can study your
code and output in order to learn from it?
Thank you very much in advance for the time. Regards,...
Juan.

Subject: PDFslide transitions -- do they work?

After seeing the discussion here on pdfTeX based presentations, I
thought I would review what was out there and took a look at pdfslide.
Using my handy TeXshop plus Gerben's TeX distribution, I was quickly
able to reTeX the manual for pdfSlide and it looked nice. As my
subject line says, however, the manual supposedly includes page
transitions, but, there were no transitions I could see in Acrobat 5.05
(mac) or for that matter there weren't any when I copied the example
file to a pc. Is the page transition feature broken (I can live with
out it)? I also installed ppower4 on my mac for the demo and it works
alright as well, but I am curious if it is possible to use more
flexible tools like Adobe Illustrator to generate graphic overlays
rather than the Xfig (I think) based example which seem to require
inputting lots of coordinates.
Any cache of examples out there (source and pdf)? Ross Moore seemed
to have a nice CalTeX talk I accessed via google, but the links don't
work in it.
thanks

teTeX and OS X have their own font management but it is possible to
convert some OS X font into something that can be used within teTeX.
However, there might be some legal issues in doing such a thing.
Can someone tell me the limitations there?
Also, can you point me to infos about available fonts for TeX, some
kind of html survey page.

My periodic plug:
Download the ttf2tex package from CTAN, and read the PDF manual. You=20
then need to download the font tool Fondu from sourceforge to convert=20
to the proper format. Now, rename those files based on the=20
instructions in the ttf2tex manual, run the script on the files, and=20
you have your newly-installed fonts. To show how cool this is, try the=20=
-x option on Hoefler Text, which (if things haven't changed) gets you=20
real small caps and old-style figures.
Note: I learned not long ago that Apple is no longer shipping the GX=20
fonts like Hoefler Text with OS X. Bad decision, but it might be a=20
good idea to make sure you have a copy of these fonts safe somewhere! =20=
Hoefler, in particular, is a really nice font for an OS X TeX=20

What does this question mean? Do you mean: which font types can be

fonts are fully compiled, complete with the pfb's, ready to be used

The talk by Ross Moore should work.
In the 4talk.pdf file the "local" links will not work but
the absolute links (orange text) should.
The links for texpower have now been fixed to the new sourceforge.net site

Talking about PDF documents on web sites: a free PDF browser plugin is=20=

This build fixes a bug where Emacs needed a special build for each

I'm always tempted by these, but never really use them because I can't
figure out how to use real Mac OS X fonts. Let's say I want to use
Monaco-13, complete with Quartz anti-aliasing. Is it even possible?
If so, how do I do it? The usual font specifiers seems really geared
toward X (the window system), and I haven't found any documentation
that I can make work with Mac fonts.
If anybody can help me out here, I'll be a convert!
Many thanks,
