I'm not sure if this will help, but did you=20

I don't think this is the problem. Just in case, I did "texhash" 
followed by "sudo updmap" in terminal. There were 9 output files, 
containing something related to yhmath as follows:

Howdy,

I believe that tells pdftex what to do but you still have to do is  
tell LaTeX what to do with

\setlength\paperheight{240mm}
\setlength\paperwidth{170mm}

which might do the job; I'm not sure. Actually, I'd look into the  
geometry package which allows for logical page setup and takes care  
of telling pdftex special things.

Good Luck,

The page dimensions have to be defined in  the class file, in the  
preamble of the document they are ignored. Hence, I recommend to  
choose a suitable class file - I don't like the standard book.cls -  
and put a modified copy of it in your personal texmf folder, so that  
latex finds.

If you are writing a math or physiscs book, then I would recommend  
the amsbook.cls, otherwise ask your publisher or google a bit.

Hi Bruno (and others),

occasionally in french books I saw additional white space
before/after french quotes
before colon, semicolon, questionmarks and =93!" (don't know name).

Are there more typographic specials like this in French?
And what is this called? French typography?

Depends on the timeframe. Normally these days there's no additional=20
space after sentence-ending punctuation, hence the ``\frenchspacing''=20
command from Plain TeX.

If your French is better than mine, this might be of use:

I second that. I use it frequently for 6x9in books (written by other  
people, I'm just putting them together...), and the preamble looks  
simple like this:

\documentclass[twoside]{book}

...

\usepackage[pdftex]{geometry}
\geometry{

Stefen,

In French typography, you must let a white space after all =20
ponctuations like in English but also a space before the ponctuation =20
if it is a "double" one for instance : colon, semicolon, =20
questionmarks and exclamation marks. In fact, the space before must =20
be a little smaller than the space after. We call it "espace fine =20
ins=E9cable".
There are more things involved in the French typography like space =20
before and after parenthesis, numbers=85
If you are interested, I recommend you this book : http://=20

Yes, that's what I think too now. I installed the package and get with 
your example something like "~AB" (the tilde is higher, like a macron).

Could be we're not using pdflamstex? Or we need to tell pdfTeX the 
actual encoding of the PostScript font.

This to find out will take some time since the glyph names in the font 
file do *not* correspond to the glyphs visible!


What about Fourier? Isn't that package good enough for you?

With Adobe Reader you may see something like a dot, plus info on what 
happened to the font.

I don't know much (errr... anything) of that. My impression is that 
since it works with TeX + Ghostscript, the problem is with pdflatex.

> What about Fourier? Isn't that package good enough for you?

All I need is to put an arc on two or three capital letters. My 
reference is "The Comprehensive LATEX Symbol List" by Scott Pakin 
(September 2003). I'll take a look into Fourier.

Howdy,

A while back I put together a simple prepackaged version of the  
SkakNew type1 Chess Fonts and a version of the skak package for  
typesetting Chess Games that used the SkakNew Fonts rather than the  
original bit mapped fonts supplied with the skak package (a simple  
change - but I renamed the adapted version skaknew).

Recently a bug was found in skak with the designation of legal Knight  
moves from a particular square which, of course, was carried over to  
skaknew. This has now been corrected and the latest version can be  
found as ``MacSkakNew.zip'' on my download site, .

In practice this really isn't a problem. When the shell launches it
hashes the contents of the path, and, if a directory occurs multiple
times, the shell rereads and rehashes the contents. Yes, this can slow
down the time it takes to launch the shell, but that time will be
essentially imperceptible unless you add a *very* large directory to
the path many times over (by having a chain of subshells spawning
subshells, but then that's most likely to be a problem in and of
itself). Nevertheless, I agree that, from an aesthetic point of view,
adding a directory to the path repeatedly, is undesirable (though this
hasn't always stopped me). In that case, you can go through some minor
contortions and do what is done in fink and create an alias (or
function for [ba]sh) which only adds the directory to the path if it's
not there already. Here's how fink does it for csh: (mind possible

It's not only pdfTeX, could be it's PDF that says, a PS or TTF font

Subject: Typesetting plain TeX documents with /magnification gives odd results
From: "Benjamin Lotto" 
Date: Tue, 31 May 2005 13:54:39 -0400

Using TeXShop 2.02 under OS X 10.4.1 (Tiger) with TeX installed via i- 
Installer.

Typsetting plain TeX documents using \magnification=3D1200 (or anything  
else other than 1000) produces odd results regarding the placement of  
text on the page.  For example, the simple document

\magnification=3D1200
This is a test.
\bye

prints for me with the text line right up against the top of the page  
and the page number about 1.7 inches from the bottom of the page and  
shifted left.  It's almost as though the whole page has been shifted  
up and to the left.

If I go to the command line and do tex followed by dvips, everything  
works OK, so this looks like a pdftex problem.  The same issue crops  
up on other machines with similar setups.

Might I have something installed wrong, or be doing something else bad?

Thanks!

-Ben

The problem is that after magnifying you have to reset the pdf page =20
dimensions. Let me quote Bruno Voisin on the subject:

*That's* the problem: you can't use the *raw* encoded font but have to 
use the finally encoded font instead when you don't know the encoding 
vector. The correct map file entry is:

	yhcmex10 Yhcmex  DVI -> PS ->

I feel compelled to point out that this is not a safe and stable  
solution but it ssems to spread anyway because of incomplete GUI  
applications. The environment.plist file is a leftover from NEXTSTEP  
and because it influences all apps it may have unwanted and  
unexpected effects (in fact it can break i-Installer if the contents  
are broken)

The correct way is to have the GUI *application* (and not a global  
setting for all GUI applications) set the right PATH before executing  
commands.

Can you be a bit more specific on this? Which settings have this=20
impact? PATH only?

You mean that at login-time the correct values for PATH or path should=20=

be set? And this should work because any process created by a GUI app=20
should have then too the right settings?

PATH is an important one for any tool that uses subprocesses. Muck 
around with it and suddenly apps may get different versions or none at 
all. I have had my share of help requests for i-installer doing funny 
things as a result of this.

No, what I mean is that if a GUI app requires non-default setting for 
its working (and that generally means running subprocesses) it should 
keep its own PATH setting. TeXShop does this in its Preferences (in the 
Engine tab).

The Apple Frameworks for running subprocesses have the possibility to 
pass environment variables to that subprocess. Hence, TeXShop passes an 
updated environment to the subprocess including a PATH containing  and 
/usr/local/bin and /usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current 
(or whatever you set in preferences)

It is OK to have some sort of a default. It is not OK that 
i-Installer's PATH changes because some other Foo.app needs a different 
path.

I am probably giving up on this. If I produce a next version of 
i-Installer it will completely set its own environmen, just to be 
protected against stuff coming from environmen.plist
