My manuscript is in LaTeX both on Unix and on a Mac under Textures. Does anybody know of a way to export the text to wysiwyg programs? It wouldn't be a problem if the formatting information got lost as long as the text came across. (Excalibur has a parser that throws out the LaTeX/TeX commands...) The opposite way apparently works, but I haven't seen TeX --> wysiwyg, yet. Well, if not, the Academic Press folks may have to digest the LaTeX files or retype it (in which case I get to find all the typos...) I sure wish they could handle something more professional than "Word"...

Has anyone had success in running METAFONT on a Macintosh? I have a Macintosh PowerBook 5300c, system 7.5. I am using the public domain METAFONT version 0.66 from the Bluesky ftp site, and it is not fully operational. Is there a better METAFONT for Macintosh available? Once the MF file is written, how does one install a font on the Macintosh so that Bluesky's Textures can display the font on the screen and print? Has anyone had success getting "penlabels" to work? Does anyone know how to produce output with grid lines and penlabels like those in Donald Knuth's "Computer Modern Typefaces, Computers & Typesetting volume E"? For some reason, I have not received a TeXhax digest in a while even though I am still on the list, so please reply directly to me in addition to posting to the list.
