Please send your interesting articles to the editor, and delight fellow \TeX\ users. \emph{Please note the following schedule of copy deadlines}: \def\Thead#1{\makebox[1.7cm][c]{\rotatebox{45}{{\raggedright \parbox{2.4cm}{#1}}}}} \begin{quote} \begin{tabular}{llll} \em \rotatebox{45}{Issue}& \em \Thead{Submit material for publication}& \em \Thead{Submit last-minute notices}& \em \Thead{PostScript file sent to production team}\\ 4.3&May 23&May 30&Jun 6\\ 4.4&Aug 15&Aug 22&Aug 29\\ 4.5&Oct 17&Oct 24&Oct 31\\ \end{tabular} \end{quote} Each issue of \BV\ will have a special theme, although articles on any \TeX-related subject are always welcome. Contributions on the themes for the remainder of 1994 are eagerly solicited: \begin{Pilist}{pzd}{43} \item \BV\ 4.3 will concentrate on graphics; \item \BV\ 4.4 will be a back to basics special issue on mathematical and tabular typesetting; \item \BV\ 4.5 will try and go beyond \TeX, to see what is on the horizon. \end{Pilist} \section{Apology!} Alan Jeffrey\rq{}s article in \BV\ 4.1 was the victim of the very font-encoding problems which his \emph{fontinst} software is designed to solve. Between the proof copies created on a machine in Geneva, and the final copy created at Aston, one of the font tables turned to garbage. It came about because the two \TeX\ setups used the same \emph{virtual} fonts, but differently-encoded \emph{raw} fonts, so the virtual Times assumed that glyphs were at positions where in fact something very different lived. For the record, the \emph{correct} table showing Times in \TeX\ layout is as follows (answers on a postcard, please, explaining why the lslash and Lslash glyphs are also here): \begin{center} \epsfig{figure=ptmr.eps} \end{center} Readers who are fascinated by the whole subject of fonts and encodings will be delighted to find \emph{another} practical article on the subject in this \BV; we hope that other people will grow to appreciate \BV\rq{}s continuing definitive saga on the subject that won\rq{}t go away. \subsection{Colophon} This issue of \BV\ was to have dealt entirely with practicalities of \LaTeXe, to go with the group\rq{}s March meeting on this major new release of the package; we do include a detailed overview of 2$\varepsilon$, but some articles will not be ready until future issues, and in the meanwhile we find plenty to occupy the modern \TeX ie. This issue of the journal was created entirely with the test distribution of \LaTeXe, using Y\&Y\rq{}s implementation of \TeX, and printed on a Hewlett Packard LaserJet 4. Encoding-hounds will appreciate knowing that this \BV\ was processed using a slightly extended Windows ANSI encoding; this was achieved by using Y\&Y\rq{}s comprehensive font tools to reencode the fonts. This allowed direct preview using \emph{dviwindo} and Adobe Type Manager. Having the base fonts in Windows ANSI then allowed me to build a full set of EC-encoded virtual fonts (using Jeffrey\rq{}s \emph{fontinst}) for when I want a portable source or access to the full range of EC characters. Sometimes you \emph{can} have the best of all possible worlds\ldots \BV\ is set in ITC New Baskerville Roman and Gill Sans, with Computer Modern Typewriter for literal text. Production and distribution was undertaken in Cambridge by Robin Fairbairns and Jonathan Fine. \end{article} \end{multicols} \begin{multicols}{2} \input letters \end{multicols} \input goossens \input sieben \input fine1 \input abbott2 \input clark \input fine2 \end{document}
