In the past, I have used lslide.sty in Latex209. Now, with TexShop &
pdflatex, I am looking for something that allows me a little more
freedom than the "slide" document style. For example, things like
adding page headers/footers, etc. I don't necessarily need fancy
transition effects and would really like to avoid complicated
packages...
Can anybody recommend a clean and simple slides package?
Thanks,
Keith

Hi Keith
There is a comprehensive list of stuff here:

Subject: A question of resolution
From: "Patrick Coskren"
Date: Fri, 6 Dec 2002 00:48:48 -0500
Hi, all.
I generally pdftex my documents in Palatino with TeXShop, so
resolution isn't an issue. But my equations are still good
old-fashioned Computer Modern. I'd like to up the resolution from the
default (300, I think) to 600, but can't figure out how to do so. On
the other hand, I know it's possible, 'cause I used to be able to do it
with OzTeX! Does anybody have pointers on which file or environment
variable I should twiddle?
Many thanks,
-Patrick

the computer modern fonts are also postscript so resolution should not
be a problem. (Unless I don't understand your question? Are you
producing dvi's perhaps?)

Nope, I'm producing PDFs.
Hang on.... ...
D'oh. Sure enough, you're right. I'm looking at an 11-pt epsilon
blown up to fill my monitor, and it looks great. I used to have to
worry about this when I used OzTeX a few years ago; it never occurred
to me that the problem would simply go away when my TeX hiatus ended
and I started up again with TeXShop and teTeX.
My apologies for wasting your time. Thanks for pointing this out.
Best regards,
-Patrick

you can easily use what you have written for other documents.

Subject: bibtex failing to find bib file...
From: "Joseph C. Slater"
Date: Fri, 6 Dec 2002 10:12:09 -0500
When I run bibtex on a file, it's not finding the .bib file as it
should. I get the following:
This is BibTeX, Version 0.99c (Web2C 7.3.8)
The top-level auxiliary file: VibrationTesting.aux
A level-1 auxiliary file: Complex_Solution.aux
A level-1 auxiliary file: SignalProcessing.aux
A level-1 auxiliary file: TestEquipment.aux
I couldn't open database file bibs.bib
---line 20 of file VibrationTesting.aux
: \bibdata{bibs
: }
I'm absolutely sure that it's in the same directory as the document.
Any thoughts on this? I just reinstalled via I-installer to no avail.
Thanks,

Howdy,
I have a few question before I buy the Lucida Fonts from Y&Y. Some of them =
can
be answered by them (and I will certainly ask Y&Y!), but I'd like to hear =
your
experiences too.
1) Can the Lucida fonts be used with other applications (such as Igor Pro,
drawing programs, ...)
2) Which version should I get? In view of the question above, my guess is =
the
(traditional) Macintosh format, and extract the .pfb locally. Does that
remove any information (kerning?), or should I ask for a special =
quotation on
getting the pfb version as well as the LWFN version. (I was offered =
such a
solution in the beginning days of Mac OS X, but I didn't pull through =
then).
3) Something they have to answer: Last time I asked, they only shipped on
floppy. I have an iBook and an iMac, but no floppy-drive...
Kind regards,

I bought both versions several years ago.

As I recall, yes. You may not want this though, IIRC, they will show up =
as lots
of different fonts, one for each style, making for a long font menu. In =

I prefer to keep to keep my TeX fonts from appearing in other programs. I =

It's been a couple of years since I checked, but last time I talked to =
them, this
was true, which I found hard to believe, even then.

On my Lucida floppies, purchased from Blue Sky Research around 1995,=20
there is one version of the fonts in LWFN format (used for PostScript=20
printing) and two versions in font suitcase fomat (used for screen=20
display and QuickDraw printing). One version of the font suitcase is=20
designed to work well with TeX, and the other is for use with non-TeX=20
applications; alas, you cannot install the two simultaneously. I think=20=
I tried once the non-TeX version, did not manage to get it to work with=20=
Claris Draw and KaleidaGraph, gave up, and then installed the TeX=20
version that I have been using ever since. But I just tried once, so=20
it's very likely I did something wrong and things can work well if you=20=
try harder.
That was all in Mac OS <=3D 9. In OS X, the conversion of the LWFN fonts=20=
to PFB format so that they can be used with teTeX is something which=20
has been discussed already on the list (I think Gary Gray prepared=20
summary instructions on this). That doesn't tell whether the font=20
suitcases can be used directly in OS X in non-TeX applications. For=20
sure that would be nice. Some conversion to OS X font format (I think=20
that is DFONT?) is probably necessary. I don't know how. Apple recently=20=
added font tools to their developer tools offering, but I have the=20
impression it's more a font editor than anything else. Maybe Freetype=20
and pfaEdit could be helpful, Gerben Wierda's wonderful i-Installer has=20=
packages for them. See also:
http://pfaedit.sourceforge.net/macformats.html
Or maybe Y&Y would be interested by the challenge?
Good luck,
Bruno Voisin=

Wait: Apple says that fonts installed in the Classic way (put in /Mac=20

Somehow I nave now gotten the error to be:

---line 20 of file VibrationTesting.aux

I can open it just fine, so I don't understand why it can't.
This is also happening in my other documents.
The same documents, copied wholesale to other machines, work perfectly
fine.
I found a whole bunch of directory damage, but fixed it with fsck, then
Norton utilities. I'm going to reinstall from I-installer and hope for
the best. Should I do some sort of uninstall first?

I don't know why this just recently started to cause problems. It may
have happened a while ago. The problem was that I had
%setenv BIBINPUTS /Users/jslater/Library/texmf/bibtex
defined in my .cshrc file. I don't even recall why. I think it was
formerly necessary for Gerben's dist, but I could be way off. All I
know is that it has been there a long time, but I just tried to
eliminate the line and see what happened. Sorry for the wasted
bandwidth.

If you get them in Mac format, then they can, but it wouldn't be much
fun (there are more than 40 separate fonts that make up the set). Plus,
I suspect the odd font locations would make it hard to type anything at
other than a glacial pace.

Get the Mac version and then convert them. I have included the
instructions below.

Ask them to email them to you. Even PC manufacturers are getting rid of
floppy drives.
--Gary
Here are the instructions I posted a while back:
Here are some details on the installation of the Lucida Bright family (I
assume that is what you are referring to -- if not, I apologize):
[1] Take your existing Lucida fonts and convert them to .pfb files
using Tom
Kiffe's conversion utility. You can find it at:
You will want to open his "essential" AppleScript "lwfn2pfb script txt"
in
the Script Editor and save it as an application so that you can drag and
drop your fonts on it for conversion. This AppleScript will call the
CMacTeX
binary "t1utils", so be sure you have that too. After creating the
AppleScript, drag and drop all 41 of your Lucida fonts onto the
AppleScript
and after a few seconds, 41 .pfb files will appear (you will have 41 if
you
have the entire Lucida set from Y&Y).
[2] You will now need to rename those new .pfb files (it's tedious but
goes quickly). Here is a list of the
the new names and the corresponding old names:
New Old
=3D=3D=3D =3D=3D=3D
lbc LucidCalIta
lbd LucidBriDem
lbdsc LucidBriSmaDem
lbdi LucidBriDemIta
lbh LucidHanIta
lbi LucidBriIta
lbki LucidCasIta
lbkr LucidCas
lbl LucidBla
lbma LucidNewMatArr
lbme LucidNewMatExt
lbmi LucidNewMatIta
lbmo LucidNewMatAltIta
lbms LucidNewMatSym
lbmsd LucidNewMatSymDem
lbr LucidBri
lbrsc LucidBriSma
lbsl LucidBriObl
lbtb LucidTypBol
lbtbo LucidTypBolObl
lbto LucidTypObl
lbtr LucidTyp
lfd LucidFaxDem
lfdi LucidFaxDemIta
lfi LucidFaxIta
lfr LucidFax
lsb LucidSanBol
lsbi LucidSanBolIta
lsd LucidSanDem
lsdi LucidSanDemIta
lsi LucidSanIta
lsr LucidSan

lsto LucidSanTypObl
lstr LucidSanTyp
lbmad LucidNewMatArrDem
lbmd LucidNewMatDem
lbmdi LucidNewMatDemIta
lbmdo LucidNewMatAltDemIta
lbmr LucidNewMatRom
Be sure and leave the .pfb extensions on the renamed files.
[3] Once you have renamed the files, then you simply need to put them
in the
right place. Put the .pfb files in the following places:
In: ~/Library/texmf/fonts/type1/yandy/lubright
Put:
=3D=3D=3D=3D
lbd.pfb
lbdi.pfb
lbdsc.pfb
lbi.pfb
lbr.pfb
lbrsc.pfb
lbsl.pfb
In: ~/Library/texmf/fonts/type1/yandy/lucida
Put:
=3D=3D=3D=3D
lbc.pfb
lbh.pfb
lbki.pfb
lbkr.pfb
lbl.pfb
lbtb.pfb
lbtbo.pfb
lbto.pfb
lbtr.pfb
In: ~/Library/texmf/fonts/type1/yandy/lucidfax
Put:
=3D=3D=3D=3D
lfd.pfb
lfdi.pfb
lfi.pfb
lfr.pfb
In: ~/Library/texmf/fonts/type1/yandy/lucsans
Put:
=3D=3D=3D=3D
lsb.pfb
lsbi.pfb
lsd.pfb
lsdi.pfb
lsi.pfb
lsr.pfb
lstb.pfb
lstbo.pfb
lsto.pfb
lstr.pfb
In: ~/Library/texmf/fonts/type1/yandy/lumath
Put:
=3D=3D=3D=3D
lbma.pfb
lbmad.pfb
lbmd.pfb
lbmdi.pfb
lbmdo.pfb
lbme.pfb
lbmi.pfb
lbmo.pfb
lbmr.pfb
lbms.pfb
lbmsd.pfb
[4] Now it should work. Simply create a new LaTeX document and include
something like:
\usepackage[expert]{lucidabr}
and you it should use the Lucida fonts. I know people don't like
attachments, so here is a nice summary of the options available:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Options for the lucidabr package (paraphrased from lucidabr.txt):
-----------------------------------------------------------------
See lucidabr.txt for details on the package options.
To get the documentation for the lucidabr package, run TeX
(or LaTeX) on the file lucidabr.dtx and print the result.
The lucidabr package contains the code to support the Lucida Bright
and Lucida New Math fonts. You invoke it using
\usepackage[...]{lucidabr}
where the ... indicated optional arguments. This package supports
several options. The default options are:
[noexpert,lucidascale,mathitalic1,slantedgreek,errorshow]
(*) [noexpert] Lucida Bright Expert fonts *not* available
(*) [expert] Lucida Bright Expert fonts available (needed for bold math)
Special scaling has been set up for Lucida Bright fonts to control
the relative sizes of text and math fonts.
The default is to scale, but two options allow you to
revert to `normal' behaviour, or get even smaller.
(*) [lucidascale]
(*) [nolucidascale]
(*) [lucidasmallscale]
Choose style of letters in math. Italic3 is not really italic at all,
more a roman font with math spacing. Italic2 is not really
slanted but a different style of italic.
(*) [mathitalic1] % `alternate' math italic (lbmo) default
(*) [mathitalic2] % original math italic (lbmi)
(*) [mathitalic3] % upright `math italic' (lbmr)
Choose between slanted and upright lowercase Greek.
Uppercase Greek is always upright.
(*) [slantedgreek]
(*) [uprightgreek]
Define extra command names to access:
uppercase slanted Greek (\varGamma...)
lowercase upright Greek (\upalpha...)
Irrespective of whether \alpha is accessing upright or
slanted Greek alphabet.
(*) [vargreek]
Do not define individual command names to all the AMS
math symbols (and a few extra Lucida math symbols).
This makes this package emulate the amsfonts package rather
than the amssymbl package. It saves a lot of space for smaller
TeX systems. You can then just define commands for the symbols
you are going to use.
(*) [noamssymbols]
Font encoding for the operators font.
Normally this options does not need to be explicitly
given as the default is to use the current default text
encoding, so if \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} is used before
loading this package, T1 encoding will be used.
These options are similar to the ones provided by the
mathtime package. Note that when cm fonts are being used
the OT1 encoding is always used for the operators font
as it is required to access Greek in that case. However
Lucida Bright provides upper and lowercase Greek in the math fonts.
(*) [OT1] % TeX text
(*) [LY1] % TeX 'n ANSI
(*) [T1] % Cork
(*) [seriftt] % use Lucida Typewriter instead of Lucida Sans
Typewriter
(*) [fax] % use Lucida Fax instead of Lucida Bright
(*) [casual] % Use Lucida Casual instead of Lucida Bright
(*) [calligraphic] % Use Lucida Calligraphic for italic text
(*) [handwriting] % Use Lucida Handwriting Italic for italic text
This package makes a lot of font re-assignments. Normally these
generate warning messages on the terminal, however getting so many
messages would be distracting, so a further three options control the
font tracing. Even more control may be obtained by loading the
tracefnt package.
(*) [errorshow] Only show font *errors* on the terminal.
Warnings are just sent to the log file. This is the default
for this package.
(*) [warningshow] Show font warnings on the terminal. This
corresponds to the usual LaTeX 2e behaviour.
(*) [nofontinfo] Suppress all font warnings, even from the log file.

I did not know that one. It looks great indeed. BTW my impression is=20

I agree. If you want to make transparencies, I would go with foiltex.=20
I've used it with great success many times.
