Hi, all,
I'm using TeXShop on Mac OS X on 10.3.9, and having a problem with
the 'floatflt' environment: following the 'floatingtable' instance,
all paragraphs (started with hard newline) have their first two lines
indented to align with the text flowing around (to the right of) the
table.
In trying to resolve this (which hasn't happened yet), it was
suggested (on the texhax list) to try 'wrapfig'.
That didn't work either. The problem with wrapfig is that I can't
get the table to appear where I want it. The author has looked at
'wrapfig', and has found a bug. However, his fix doesn't work with
TeXShop.
I noticed that TeXShop is set up to use pdflatex, so I tried this by
hand and got the same result. However, I got correct results when I
run 'latex' by hand.
Anyone got a clue here? I'm kind of stumped.
This is on 10.3.9 with a kind-of-old install from Gerben. I've got a
more recent install from Gerben on a 10.4.1 system, and the problems
there are even skankier (so I won't go into them here).
Regards,
Justin

Subject: \textcolor and newpage problem
From: "Robert Sekuler"

I use TexShop on Tiger, and I've encountered into a problem using
\textcolor. When I use \textcolor to alter the color of some text,
that alteration works but
seems to be reset, and the text reverts to black, if the text spills
over onto a new page.
Was wondering if people on the list have seen this, and if there is a
fix (other than the ugly fix of inserting a \textcolor command at
each new page break).

In TeXShop, it does indeed shows in the Services meny =85 but dimmed. As=20
it is in =85 Safari.
But the application I downloaded is called Aiksaurus Cocoa and what=20
shows dimmed is English Aik(The)saurus.
Both the homepage and the Source Forge are pretty terse.
I just thought that, once "hooked", some command in TeXShop would write=20
a word selected in TeXShop source into the Aiksaurus window rather me=20
writing it. So it is nothing crucial. Far from it.

I've posted a version of TCOBrowser that ought to run on Panther
systems once again, and has some other improvements as well. Thanks
to Jeff Johnson for all the suggestions and bug reports, and thanks
to Pete Dyballa for checking my Panther bugfix (they're not
responsible for any remaining bugs, though!).
regards,
Adam
Here are the full release notes:
Version 0.83
- Fixed dates in the TeX catalogue
- Sort order in tableview is now case-insensitive
- Image cell headers (e.g. Local-Doc) are centered
- Search now gets updated properly after the search type changes
- MikTeX cabinet handling code redone (fixed leaks, interface cleanup)
- Removed a stale binding that caused a crash on Panther
- Fixed bugs in table selection behavior
- Optimized text layout in the abstract pane when selecting all in
the table
- Web drawer now always opens on the side with the most room
- Web drawer toolbar icon changes state as you move/resize the window
- Characters {("\ are now ignored when sorting by caption
- NSArrayController subclass now handles searching
- Local documentation is now updated when a path is enabled/changed

Thanks to Donald Arseneau, author of wrapfig, I can now use that
package with TeXShop, latex, and pdflatex. The problem, as he
analyzes it is as follows:

This works for all the above. In addition, he notes:

and it works for me as well.
Thanks to Donald for his rapid responses.
This one:

remains a problem with 'latex'; I will poke around in the ashes and
see if I can make sense of what I see.

This is a known problem, see 'texdoc grfguide' for details (page 6,
the absence of a colour stack, for that statement, see 'texdoc pdftex-
a', page 30). The latter also mentions a possible solution in the
form of the pdfcolmk package.

Subject: Re: [OS X TeX] font install July 6
From: "Bruno Voisin"
Date: Sat, 9 Jul 2005 15:04:36 +0200
Hello,
I hadn't followed this thread closely. After asking for the font
files off-list last night to Charles Pugh (the original poster), and
a bit of experimentation, here's a solution, not that far actually
from the one suggested by Peter Dyballa.
The large picture: you can't avoid reading the docs. Font
installation is an intricate aspect of TeX, and there is no
straightforward solution working for any font (apart from XeTeX --
see below). The important documents here are:
- Philip Lehman's Font Installation Guide at /Library/teTeX/share/
texmf.tetex/doc/fontinst/fontinstallationguide.pdf
- The talk "Surviving the TEX font encoding mess" at /Library/teTeX/
share/texmf.tetex/doc/fontinst/talks/et99-font-tutorial.pdf
- The fontinst manual at /Library/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/doc/
fontinst/manual/fontinst.pdf
- The LaTeX Font Guide at /Library/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/doc/latex/
base/fntguide.dvi
- The dvips manual at /Library/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/doc/programs/
dvips.pdf
Regarding "my" tutorial, I am very well aware it is outdated (it was
written before Panther came out), contains misprints and could be
made better (more pedagogical). But I'm not willing to update it.
When writing it in a couple of sleepless nights two years ago, I made
it clear I couldn't maintain it afterwards, due to lack of time/
competence. My aim then was to provide a starting point, for a
community effort run by this list; unfortunately it didn't catch up.
If people are willing to correct/modify/add information, please
contact Bob Kerstetter, the current maintainer. Wiki might also be a
solution, but again the tutorial is no longer "mine" and such things
are not up to me to decide. There's also a danger of eventually
replicating the Font Installation Guide, making it simply Mac-specific.
Back on topic, here's a list of possible steps.
Step 1: Inspecting the font
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D
The font comes out as a Classic LWFN printer font file Csc and an AFM
file Csc.afm. Put these, say, on the Desktop in a folder FontInstall.
Then open Terminal, move to this folder:
cd Desktop/FontInstall
convert the LWFN file to PFB format:
t1unmac -r Csc/rsrc Csc.pfb
and open the PFB file in FontForge, by first launching FontForge:
open-x11 FontForge
then selecting the PFB file. You'll get a table displaying all the
glyphs in the font.
The font Csc turns out to be a symbol font, containing cursive
letters and numerals with a glyph coverage similar to the Euler
Fraktur font (see p. 31 of /Library/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/doc/fonts/
amsfonts/amsfndoc.dvi). Hence the procedure is different from the one
in the tutorial: it's actually simpler, there's no need to reencode
the font; in TeX jargon, we'll use Csc as a raw font. This situation
is described in section IV.4, "Installing symbol fonts", of the Font
Installation Guide and we'll follow the procedure there closely.
Because of Csc being a symbol font, we'll choose the name zcscr (this
renaming is absolutely unnecessary for the font to be used with TeX,
it's just used here to make things as "clean" as possible). "z"
because the font is bizarre, "csc" because that's its original name,
and "r" because that's its regular shape (actually the only one
available). See for example slides 15--16 of the Survival Guide above.
Step 2: Preparing the font
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D
Rename the font files accordingly:
cp Csc.pfb zcscr.pfb
cp Csc.afm zcscr.afm
Two routes are now possible for the next step, depending of whether
you're more comfortable with the syntax of fontinst, or with the
syntax of LaTeX's font definition .fd files and dvips map .map files.
Step 3 (the fontinst route): Creating the font support files
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
This route makes use of the intricate fontinst syntax. You can either
take it simply as an adaptation of the example in section IV.4 of the
Font Installation Guide, and use it without wondering exactly what it
does; or look at section II, "Installing TeX fonts with fontinst", of
the Survival Guide, especially slides 32--35.
First, write a driver file, zcsc-drv1.tex say, containing:
\input fontinst.sty
\recordtransforms{zcsc-rec.tex}
\installfonts
\installfamily{U}{zcsc}{}
\installrawfont{zcscr}{zcscr}{txtfdmns,zcscr mtxasetx}{U}{zcsc}
{m}{n}{}
\endinstallfonts
\endrecordtransforms
\bye
and process it with plain TeX. This will create a number of files:
- A fontinst metrics file zcscr.mtx, that won't be used.
- A property list file zcscr.pl, to be processed at once by pltotf to
create a TeX font metrics file zcscr.tfm, by typing in Terminal:
pltotf zcscr.pl
- A LaTeX font definition file uzcsc.fd, ready for use.
- A records files zcsc-rec.tex, to be used for producing a dvips map
file.
Secondly, write another driver file, zcsc-drv2.tex say, containing:
\input finstmsc.sty
\resetstr{PSfontsuffix}{.pfb}
\adddriver{dvips}{zcsc.map}
\input zcsc-rec.tex
\donedrivers
\bye
and process it with plain TeX. This will use the records file to
produce the map file zcsc.map.
At the end of this process you've got the three required types of
information: TeX font metrics .tfm file, dvips .map file, LaTeX font
definition .fd file.
Step 3 (the afm2tfm route): Creating the font support files
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
This route uses the afm2tfm syntax, described in section 6.3,
"Invoking Afm2tfm", of the dvips manual; the dvips map file syntax,
described in section 6.4, "`psfonts.map': PostScript font catalog",
of the same manual; and the LaTeX font definition file syntax,
described in section 4, "Font installation", of the LaTeX Font Guide.
Use afm2tfm to produce the metrics file zcscr.tfm:
afm2tfm zcscr.afm
Then write yourself the font definition file uzcsc.fd, containing:
\ProvidesFile{uzcsc.fd}[2005/07/09 Font definitions for the Csc
PostScript font]
\DeclareFontFamily{U}{zcsc}{}
\DeclareFontShape{U}{zcsc}{m}{n}{<-> zcscr}{}
\endinput
and the dvips map file zcsc.map containing:
zcscr Csc ):
zcscr
\table
\end
Same with /Library/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/latex/base/
nfssfont.tex, to be processed with LaTeX: type at the prompt:
zcscr
\table
\stop
If everything's correct, you should obtain the same type of font
table as in FontForge. Then there's only one thing left: write a
LaTeX package, defining commands for selecting the font.
Step 5: Creating a LaTeX package for the font
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Based on the info in sections 2, "Text fonts", and 3, "Math fonts",
of the LaTeX Font Guide, write a file csc.sty containing:
\ProvidesPackage{csc}[2005/07/09 LaTeX support for the Csc
PostScript font]
\DeclareRobustCommand{\csc}
{\normalfont\fontencoding{U}\fontfamily{zcsc}\selectfont}
\DeclareTextFontCommand{\textcsc}{\csc}
\DeclareMathAlphabet{\mathcsc}{U}{zcsc}{m}{n}
\endinput
This defines three commands for using the font in any LaTeX document:
- A declaration \csc, to be used in text mode in the form : {\csc blah}.
- A text font command \textcsc, to be used in text mode in the form
\textcsc{blah}.
- A math font command \mathcsc, to be used in math mode in the form
\mathcsc{blah}.
Next move csc.sty to ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex/csc/ (or to /Library/
teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/latex/csc/, but then run "sudo texhash"
afterwards). You're done!
You can test everything works by creating and typesetting a LaTeX
file such as:
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{csc}
\begin{document}
AAA {\csc AAA}
BBB \textcsc{BBB}
CCC $\mathcsc{CCC}$
\end{document}
Now, all the above is based on "traditional" LaTeX mechanisms. On the
Mac we've also got XeTeX, which allows direct use of OS X fonts in
TeX. Meaning that, of all the above, only the steps corresponding to
the creation of the LaTeX .fd and .sty files are necessary: the
creation of the .pfb, .tfm and .map files is unnecessary. For
example, with the font itself (font suitcase and printer file)
installed in your Classic font folder, and with XeTeX installed, you
simply need, for using the font Csc, to write in the preamble of a
LaTeX document:
\DeclareFontFamily{U}{Csc}{}
\DeclareFontShape{U}{Csc}{m}{n}{<-> Csc}{}
\DeclareRobustCommand{\csc}
{\normalfont\fontencoding{U}\fontfamily{Csc}\selectfont}
and then in the document itself:
{\csc AAA}
With the fontspec package installed this is even simpler, in that you
only need to put in the preamble:
\usepackage{fontspec}
and in the document itself:
{\fontspec{Csc} AAA}
That said, this comes at a price, and XeTeX isn't supported by a
number of LaTeX packages which only know dvips and pdfTeX. XeTeX
lives at and has a dedicated mailing
list .
Hope this helps,
Bruno Voisin

Yes, this is a stupid bug I introduced while fixing the local doc
searching for Panther . I'll post when a new version is out
(soon), and then no more releases for a while.

Is the Internet a great place, or what? Thanks for picking up my slack.
Peter: I had looked at the logs, but since I'm not familiar enough =20

Donald did, though, and the logs were what put him on the track.

Dear Adam,
I don't want to be intrusive or rude (although I usually are) but there
seems to be something, that manifests itself in the Console as:
2005-07-09 22:09:00.524 TCOBrowser[20138] Binding selectedObject cannot
be bound to [applies immediately:
YES]
Then I browsed through the entries and found "fonteinf" which looked
promising. And it provided a PDF I wanted to read (or browse at least).
So I clicked on it in the drawer and that's what the Console tried to
tell me:
2005-07-09 22:38:10.019 TCOBrowser[20138] CFLog (21): Error loading

A form came up showing the contents of /Applications, from which I
first tried to select TeXShop (there is no better PDF viewer around),
but it was grey. Acrobat Reader 5.1 was unusable grey too, Adobe Reader
6.0.2 seemed to vanish when I opened it's directory, only Adobe Reader
7 was -- and this one produced the messages. TCOBrowser 0.84 survived
all this, while the drawer was blank. With the blue arrow I could
return to entry's contents ... I could not read the PDF file with the
help of TCOBrowser.
My system (Darwin localhost 7.9.0 Darwin Kernel Version 7.9.0: Wed Mar
30 20:11:17 PST 2005; root:xnu/xnu-517.12.7.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC Power
Macintosh powerpc) has two MSL.frameworks:
/Applications/Adobe Reader 7.0/Adobe Reader
7.0.app/Contents/Frameworks/MSL.framework
/Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Frameworks/MSL.framework (symlink to
the above)
So I created a directory
/Applications/TCOBrowser.app/Contents/Frameworks and a symlink to
MSL.Framework. Next time the procedure produced this message in Console
(again two pairs, first instantly trying to execute some default
application, second pair when I've chosen Adobe Reader 7):

(No such file or directory, errno =3D 2)
)
Again symlink and new try, now gives:

Results in:

Now I just copy all the messages, I think you understand how I stepped
forward.

Adobe Reader came up here and swallowed all CPU power, but was not
shown in the Dock, nor could ps show such a process. I had to Opt-kill
TCOBrowser ...
