Its actually quite pretty: it dates from the middle of the 18th century, and has some unusual ligatures such as 'ct' and 'Qu', and some equally unusual italic forms of 'v' and 'w' . Apart from these, its similar in style to Times Roman. It seems unlikely, but does it or something like it happen to exist as MetaFont source? Failing this, I guess I'll either have to learn MetaFont or persuade the college to employ a MetaFont consultant, both of which are probably long-term projects :-) Yours, Nigel Arnot ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 06 Jul 92 12:29:17 +0000 From: Philip Taylor (RHBNC) Subject: RE: Caslon old face >>> Our college has just decided on a "new visual identity" which revolves >>> around a logo made from characters in a font called "Caslon Old Face".

Within the figure environment you can put .. put a picture in here . numerous figures in arbitrary places. I have .. . not been able to find a way of putting a .. . single small figure into a document so that .. . it only takes up part of the width, and have .............................. the text alongside it, unless you know exactly what text is going to be there. This can be awkward if the document keeps getting reformmated and the position on the page keeps changing. The figure environment floats around to an appropriate place on the page. Is there a way to obtain the above effect automatically in LaTeX, and if so, how. I am aware of a couple of examples in the TeXbook, but they both have fixed text alongside the indentation. Too bad if that text spans a page...

Mike Piff ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 06 Jul 92 17:30:15 +0700 From: Allan Reese Subject: Re: Importing PS graphics (Digest 24) I've had a similar problem this week, importing a graphic leterhead created using FREEHAND. I've tried using \epsffile as described for dvips and BoxedEPSF with \SetRokickiSpecialEPSF. In both cases (em)TeX seems to set aside a sufficient box but no graphic appears. It is not quite clear (to me) whether in \epsffile the current TeX point becomes 0 0 in PS coordinates or the lower left point of the PS box. I tried editing the bounding box comment so that the lower left was fixed as 0 0. This produced part of the graphic, but at the top of the page and clipped, so my guess is that the current point becomes PS 0 0 but the graphic is drawn relative to this so is off the page. Maybe what is wanted is to edit in a PS command to shift the object down and left according to the boundingbox comment. But this is not mentioned in either documentation. When I looked in the dvi file, there was a hook PSFile 'filename' and the PS output then contained a comment saying "beginning of" this file, followed immediately by "end of" same file. So either the hook is not correct for dvips (5.482) or the picture is being clipped at this stage. I enclose for info the start of the EPS file and my test file to use it in TeX. %!PS-Adobe-2.0 EPSF-1.2 %%Creator: FreeHand 3.0 %%Title: Hull/Hullmark diff sizes %%CreationDate: 10/12/91 9:35 am %%BoundingBox: 103.1653 577.9842 491.1371 752.9853 %%DocumentProcSets: FreeHand_header 3 0 %%DocumentSuppliedProcSets: FreeHand_header 3 0 %%ColorUsage: Color %%DocumentCustomColors: (PANTONE 268 CV) %%CMYKCustomColor: 0.91 0.94 0 0.235 (PANTONE 268 CV) %%DocumentFonts: Symbol %%+Sabon-Roman %%DocumentNeededFonts: Symbol %%+Sabon-Roman %%FHPathName: Hard Disc:LN/HULL:SD/HUL/Logos:Hull/Hullmark diff sizes %%EndComments %%BeginProcSet: FreeHand_header 3 0/FHIODict ... %******** \input hullfont %Reads definitions for Sabon font \input epsf \llap{(1)}\hrule \noindent This is some text.

So if your PS file displays as separate lines with LIST but as a continuous stream with other programs - i.e., you try to edit it and it fills the screen with characters with ^M's inter- spersed, you have the same problem. The effect is then that TeX can find the boundingbox (which it thinks is on line 1) but dvips then cannot read the file and make sense of it. Solution: LIST has an option to dump the file. I started LIST and marked the start and end of the file then dumped a new version. This version then LISTs but also reads as separate lines into my editors. However, I didn't have to change anything else and it now imports using \epsffile and prints as expected. The dvips documentation therefore means exactly what it implies; that the current position in the TeX page becomes the lower left corner of the boundingbox for the PS graphic. (R.)

These are 5.6875 inches by 0.75 inches in area. I'd like to be able to get everything that is on the tape on the label, but I don't want to have to bother fidding about specifying the columns myself. I'd like to limit the size of box horizontally *and* vertically. I'd like stuff to be formatted in a vertical list down to the bottom of the label and then to begin a new column to the right of the previous column, and so on until either input was finished or there was no room left, when TeX would have to choke and complain. This sounds to me like a pagination with multicolumns problem, only that the page is the size of a VHS label. (And I'd like to pack as many labels on a physical paper page as possible.) To make the label at least 0.75in high I nicked an idea from album.sty (makes music cassette labels) which is to put a tall skinny rule of the correct height into a hbox, followed by the contents. If the content is less than 0.75 inches tall then the rule will keep the box that big: %******** % Latex file quick hack to produce 1 vid label \documentstyle{article} \begin{document} \fbox{ % MAKE A VISIBLE BOX \hskip-5mm\rule{0.4mm}{0.65in} %0.65in as system will add 0.05 either side %To make fbox up to 0.75 \begin{minipage}[b]{5.6875in} \begin{enumerate} \tiny \setlength{\itemsep}{1pt} \item Jabberwocky (SP) \item The Young Ones - Sick (LP) \item Whose Line is it anyway? (LP) \item Police Squad \begin{itemize} \item [4] Revenge and Remorse (LP) \item [5] The Butler Did It (SP) \item [6] Testimony of Evil (LP) \end{itemize} \end{enumerate} \end{minipage} } %framebox \end{document} %******** Unfortunately if the content of the label is higher than the rule then the label will grow to > 0.75 inches in height. The idea with album.sty is to iteratively go back to your input and change it such that it probably will fit. I don't want to have to do this, as life is too short. Please, someone, how can I get vertical wrapping columns of height 0.75 inches? It may be best to make 2 or 3 columns of equal width.
