bulletin and other

Hi, I am trying to find how to make some classic bulletin . signs from here http://www.emerson.emory.edu/services/latex/latex_toc.html but I could't find any, additionally is there any integrated help online or within the help files of Tex ?

Sorry for the trivial question, but seems to be a chaos concerning all these documentation.

Thanks

Best

\K.

changing font color for \ commands in TexShop

I have just started using TexShop (v2.26 on OS 10.6.8), but I have a 
problem.  I am totally colorblind, and I find it almost impossible to read 
the commands in the console.  That is, in a line \usepackage{courier} I 
cannot easily read the \usepackage.  Is there a way to make 
\usepackage the same color as {courier}?

Thanks in advance.

seeing spurious Japanese TeXLive Utility 0.98.1 update message

When opening TeX Live Utility ver. 0.98, I'm getting a "new version of 
TeX Live Utility is available" pop-up for version 0.98.1 but with the 
buttons in Japanese -- despite the "Changes Since 0.98" and message 
"Fixed Sparkle nibs, so hopefully English users will not see the 
Japanese update message again".

Possible TeXShop bug in saving when file is already open

I like to use the default "Untitled-n" file name for quick tests of things like example code I receive, and
that I will probably delete soon after. 
Today I got one such example from the pstricks list, opened a new file - which TeXShop name Unititled-2 -
pasted the example code and tried to save.

I got the usual dialog indicating that such file already existed and hit "Replace". It turns out that
another Untitled-2 was still open from a previous example.
This caused TeXShop to give the spinning wheel and eventually I had to force-quit.

Wondering if it had been a one-off event, I deliberately caused the same situation, and again got the wheel.

I think the expected behavior is to warn that it cannot save - certainly it should not give me the spinning wheel...

What gives?

adding an url in references via BibDesk

Hi I try to put a webpage I have created in BibDesk but when I citrate on that in my .tex file I get as response this

Warning--entry type for "mapref:url" isn't style-file defined

--line 12 of file RefHT.bib

And no url appears in my references but a simple reference.

Marcelo M. Wanderley Andy Hunt. Interactive systems and interactive systems and instrument design in music - mapping references, April 2004.

How can I make this appear as a proper webpage reference ?

LaTexMk (was My files on DropBox)

There are a couple of things I do not understand about LaTeXMk

(1) Because I am pretty bad at LaTeX, I typeset very, very often, just  
so that, when I make a mistake, I don't have to undo a long way back  
to catch the mistake. But then of course LaTexMk doubles the  
compilation time and so I would like to be able to turn it on and off  
depending on what I am doing.

(2) When I activated LatexMk, it did indeed appear in the popup menu  
right of Typeset but it was unchecked. Yet, it seems to be doing its  
thing. But wouldn't that have to be the switch? When I checked/ 
unchecked LatexMk in the popup menu it did not seem to make a  
difference.

Regards
--schremmer

Indeed. I am amazed by your medium-like powers :-)

Initially, it was a problem I had in updating my GP version, a problem that involved both tex and non-tex files. I presented only the tex part of the problem here.
Now the GP problem is solved, and after some trial and error I finally could produce a seemingly normal pdf file.
So the bad news is that we'll never know exactly what went wrong with the tex compilation, and the good news is that the problem is solved.

Thanks for the feedback anyway.

undefined \scriptfont

Hello all,

I have trouble compiling a tex file I downloaded from the Internet. The error
message is the following :

! \scriptfont 7 is undefined (character B).
l.1111 $$

According to Adrian JohnStone's concise guide to TeX/LaTeX, this problem should be fixed
by inserting a command \load{size}{font} in the preamble of the document, where "size" is one of \tiny,\scriptsize, ... ,\huge, and font is one of \rm,\bf,... ,\sl,\tt.

The related passage in the document is :

line 1110 $$ |z| = \sum_{i = 0}^n z_i B^i,
line 1111 \quad\text{where}~z_n\ne 0~\text{and}~B = 2^{\kbd{BITS\_IN\_LONG}}.
line 1112 $$

I also noted that in the document, the \kbd command is defined as

\def\kbd#1{{\tt #1}}

So what should I "load" ?

Ewan

More on missing text with TeXShop 3.09

Hello,

Following up on my previous post about missing text, I should add that all the text (not just the arguments of
the LaTeX commands) does not display. But the text is there. The LaTeX commands, which have their own
colors, are the only text displayed.

The problem seems to be that the default font color is set to white, so the text does not display against a
white background. I tried to set the font color to black, but it did not work.

Suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Raul Martinez

TeXShop 3.09

Hello,

I installed the new TeXShop 3.09 and am getting some very odd behavior when I open an existing .tex file (a
file that I have been working on with previous versions of TeXShop).

Specifically, the problem is that the argument of all the LaTeX commands is missing. For example, the command

\documentclass[12pt]{article}

shows as

\documentclass     {          }.

The text document is fine when I display it in TextEdit or QuickLook. Even odder is that when I select
(highlight) the command, the missing characters appear but they are white and can be seen only when
contrasted with the highlight color. So the missing text is not missing; it just does not get displayed.

I have been using TeXShop for years and have never encountered anything like this.

Can anyone explain what is going on and how to fix it? 

Thanks in advance.

Raul Martinez
