maybe a OSX problem, because it happens to me sometimes when I use Word
X. You could make coffee in between typing and it appearing on screen.
But it is intermittent. Have you tried shutting down other apps?

I'm glad to see that fink is following Gerben's release, even if it is a
little later. I hope that as things stabilize more, Fink can get more
up-to-date, because it is extremely useful to be able to install software
using fink when administrating many MacOS X machines.
I know that everyone has their own wish list, but I'd just like to echo
the sentiment that tetex is a very important release to have available for
MacOS X (either from Gerben or Fink). The lab where I work (MIT AI lab)
has settled on tetex as a standard latex distribution for the lab's
heterogenous network, and I imagine that many other sites are the same.

Wish lists are all the rage at the moment, so here is another one.
A font installer with a simple Mac-like user interface, preferably drag
and drop.
The installer would allow one to take a Mac (or PC) font folder and
convert the contents to something that Gerben's teTex installation can
find, creating the necessary files and putting them in the right places.
So that all the user has to do is put /usepackage{blah} and it works.
This is something I would pay for, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. At
the moment fonts in TeX seem nightmarishly hard to change---unless it is
something really simple (and ugly IMHO) like Times.
(Some adobe font stuff does get installed already, but apparently it's
too difficult to say just what it is.)

This is definitely a problem with iTeXMac ... I don't see this behaviour

My guess is that it has to do with syntax coloring and matching
delimiters (mainly the last). Try turning those off.

I hope Jerome Laurens is reading this.
I have another guess. iTexMac has a bug that is connected to the
display of the toolbar - open the console and you see'll hundreds of
error messages zooming through. It could be that these messages
interfere with the typing speed.
I have a fix for this, but haven't had time to test whether this
improves things.

Hi Ulli,

to ask whether you would be willing to tell me what your fix for the
problem is. Since I have some spare time right now, would it be possible
for me to test it?

You can get it from Fink as a package. Fink has a link to
http://saftsack.fs.uni-bayreuth.de/~latex2ht/
Ross Moore - who reads this list - is one of the
primary authors of latex2html. He has the manual on
his web site.
http://www-texdev.mpce.mq.edu.au/l2h/docs/manual/
Many moons ago I got it running on a UNIX machine and I had
to install lots of extra stuff. I am not sure
how much of that is part of Mac OS X now.

Hi Dave
How does the package tetex-base fit into the scheme of things ?

It is on CTAN in fonts/ps-type1/cm-super.
The only difficulty is to get all the map files updated (this can be done
by adapting the updmap script.
The combination with dvipdfm needs some special attention; I am currently
investigating it. The reason is that the dvipdfm configuration is not
updated by updmap. I think it would be useful if updmap also does update
the dvipdfm configuration if it is present. I am now trying to find out
what should go in it as it should contain all the Type1 fonts that are
installed in teTeX.
I noticed while doing this, trhat if you run updmap as it is default, it
generates slightly different map files than the ones that are installed. I
am surprised by this as the map files (e.g. pdftex.map psfonts.map) start
with a comment that says they were generated by updmap.
Is there a reason they disagree?

Something I would like to see implemented in TeXShop is the ability
to minimize (and maximize) connected sets of windows.
At present you can minimize windows one by one, or all of them (by
option clicking). What would be really nice is the ability to
minimize one source window and its related windows (typeset, log) in
one click.
There is room for that: command-option click does the same as
option-click, and command-click functions as click. Of course I have
no idea whteher it would be difficult to implement it, but I think it
would be a welcome additional feature of an already great application.
By the way, does anybody know why option-click minimizes all windows
but maximes only one at a time?

I don't really see the need for yet another tool here---in the past on
NeXTstep, font installation was quite adequately handled by bundling up
the fonts and necessary files in a .pkg and using Installer.app to
manage them (see the Computer Modern and AMS Type 1 .font bundles on
ftp.peak.org).
(I'll pass on the rant 'bout Installer.app in Mac OS X being broken
'cause Apple used pax instead of gnutar)
So, all one need do here is provide a ``support'' .pkg which goes with
(an already installed for those not freely distributable) font and
provides the .tfm and .vf files and additions to the various .maps
I'll close by merely noting that if a Mac OS X TeX were set up to be
like to TeX/GX, and able to directly use the native (ATSUI) font formats
this'd then become a moot point (for those would could content
themselves with using HoeflerText, AppleChancery, Skia and Zapfino ;)
Actually, one could then argue that the proper way to install a font for
Mac OS X TeX would then be to open it up with the tools available from
fonts.apple.com and add the necessary support tables for ATSUI
compliance.

I suppose you mean a Aqua version of Emacs21.1, not the terminal version.
The Aqua version doesn't get started from a shell and therefore doesn't
have the proper PATH variable. You can set the PATH (and any other
environment variable) for programs that are started from the Desktop bij
editing an property list in ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist
(you will probably have to create this file and the directory, as they are
not present by default.
Use the variable name as key, and the corresponding value as string. For
example I have:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist SYSTEM "file://localhost/System/Library/DTDs/PropertyList.dtd">
<plist version="0.9">
<dict>
<key>HOME</key>
<string>/Users/piet</string>
<key>PATH</key>
<string>/Users/piet/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin:/Users/piet/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current:/sw/bin</string>
</dict>
</plist>

I sometimes have the same with Emacs. Mostly when Classic is active.

Subject: TeXShop gets prominent notice
From: "John Vokey" <vokey at uleth.ca>
Date: Wed, 13 Feb 2002 15:06:55 -0700
All,
In Apple's most recent "Mac OS X News" of 13-02-02, the
following appeared (it is in html, so adjust your mail reader
appropriately):
In other news of interest to the technical community,
WaveMetrics released a Carbon version of IGOR Pro (an
extensible, graphing, data analysis, and programming tool);
QuantumSoft released pro Fit 5.6 for Mac OS X (for data/function
analysis, plotting, and curve fitting); and Richard Koch and his
colleagues released TeXShop 1.15, a TeX previewer which is
written in Cocoa and takes advantage of PDF being a native file
format on Mac OS X. (TeX, which produces publication-quality
documents containing text and mathematics, has an illustrious
history and a passionate following, a hint of each of which is
nicely captured in the “What is TeX? What is Metafont? A bit of
history” page linked to from the TeX Users Group Home Page.)
Way to go, Richard!

Subject: TeXShop and pTeX
From: "Dr. Paul Fons" <paul-fons at aist.go.jp>

I noticed that in the latest incarnation of TeXShop that there is now
support for MacRoman, ISO Latin, and MacJapanese character sets. This
would seem to imply that TeXShop can be used for Japanese as well. It
would be nice to be able to use Japanese in addition to English
editing. Does anyone out there know how to implement this (e.g. where
to get and how to install pTeX and get it to interface to TeXShop?). I
am also curious to know if interfacing to pTeX would break the
connection to teTeX (this would be bad). Thanks for any help.

Subject: How to get teTeX pdf mathematics read by Illustrator X
From: "Dr. Paul Fons" <paul-fons at aist.go.jp>
Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2002 09:45:03 +0900
I would like to make some slides in Illustrator using mathematics
typeset using pdftex (TeXShop). The pdf file looks great in preview as
well as with Acrobat, but Illustrator, while able to open the file, does
not display some characters (noninclusively specifically greek and minus
signs). The type 1 fonts exist in the system Library folder and Acrobat
indicates that they are imbedded as well (CMSY10 and CMMI10). What is
the score here -- how can I get Illustrator to read in the typeset
mathematics correctly. It should be added here that Illustrator 9 does
apparently read in the file correctly (according to a colleague), but
has trouble with printing.
