Re: Problem with ps2pdf

This is normally because your eps files aren't real EPS files. (They
are PS files which contain commands that aren't allowed in EPS files.)
Since this isn't a winedt mailing list, you should tell us what the
"dvi2pdf" action really does.

The shifted top margin is because Ghostscript (which is the enginge
behind) ps2pdf has a different default page size than you. Either give
the papersize as an option to ps2pdf (read about the Ghostscript
options) or if you always use the same papersize, change it in 
texmf\ghostscript\base\gs_init.ps Look for the line 
"% Optionally choose a default paper size other than U.S. letter."
and remove the percent sign in front of the following line if you want
a4.

PS! There is no dvi2ps, only dvips.

Miktex can't see localtexmf

Hi,

I am trying to install an new .sty file I just downloaded.  I followed the 
instruction I found on my websites by creating a new directory under my 
c:\localtexmf\tex\latex\<new dir> and placed my .sty file there.  Then I 
tried to refresh using the Miktex options gui.  However, it is not finding 
my new file.  Also I don't even see it looking the c:\locatexmf director as 
it is doing the search, eventhough it is listed in the list of directories 
to look for.  Does anyone know what could be going on or how I am screwing 
things up :).  (I'm new to Miktex so this is very likely).  Thank you in 
advance for any help.

Adrian

Re: Miktex can't see localtexmf

Adrian,

Indeed your problem sounds strange. Have you checked that MiKTeX knows
"C:\localtexmf" as a local TEXMF directory? You can check this under
the "Roots" tab in MiKTeX Options.

Hopefully some other people in the list would have better ideas to try
in order to find a solution.

Regards,

Yap2.4+WinXP=?

Hello,
I run  MikTex 2.4 and Yap2.4 under WinXP.
There is the problem with dvi-previewng some files with embeded 
pstrick-code (gradient lines, boxes, etc.)
For MikTeX 2.3 with corresponding Yap there was not any problem with 
such a files.
Yap2.4 uses gs-internal MikTeX interpreter but not gsview as in previous 
releases <2.4.
Could I point Yap2.4 to call directry gsview32.exe like in previous 
version to avoid the problem?
The line Options/ PS-interpreter is not editable in menu.
Under Win98 everything is OK.

Thanx for help in advance!

Thanx for the answer. I know that Yap does not show all ps information. 
But for MikTeX 2.3+Yap (corresponding version)
there is no any problem with the viewing dvi-file below (under WinXP). 
Moreover under Win98 there is no problem in viewing dvi also!
I think the problem in yap related dll with WinXP.
Yap2.4 uses gs-internal MikTeX interpreter but not gsview as in previous 
releases <2.4.

Re: MiKTeX-Users digest, Vol 1 #1088 - 2 msgs

Did "A (minimal) example" made any sense to you?

Sorry for being rude.. but there is no way anyone would like to try
and figure out the error from the code that you have just posted. Your
other message when you clearly explain the different output obtained
with diferent versions of Yap and Windows has more chances to actually
give you a solution.

In the meanwhile I would recomend you to preview in GsView, it is not
excessively slow and it reloads the file when when you click in the
window.

(I would also recomend to use TikZ instead of pstricks, but that is
just a personal opinion and a matter of taste.)

Trouble with Font (ACM, umlaute)

Hallo,

I need to formate my paper with the ACM "sig-alternate" style sheet. 
(http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2006/pages/SAC2006_Latex_Template.zip)

The first problem I ran into was that the right font could not be 
found. (I worked though at a collegue of mine unsing Linux.)

maketfm: No creation rule for font "ptmb".
! Font \secfnt=ptmb at 12.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found.

I remedied this by replacing "ptmb" with "ptmb8r" in the .cls file 
alike for all font definitions. The problem I now face is that any 
umlaute do not work any more. I included \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} 
which accepts "ö" as a character but prints "o". I tried a direct 
encoding with \''o, included %\usepackage[cp850]{inputenc} and 
\usepackage{german}, but neither of these work.

I would be very glad if any of you could help me. This is very urgent!

Thanks, Christine

I'm not able to reproduce this failure. Something in your MiKTeX setup
must be corrupted. If you turn on Trace in Yap, download Debugview[1] and
watch what is executed when you open the file we might get a clue...

(I'm running an up-to-date MiKTeX with the same version of
Ghostscript.)

Well, if it was that urgent why didn't you search a little your self?
There is <http://miktex.org/search.html>. (This is a FAQ.)
Follow the advice in
<http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=2994594>
and things might work better. However, someone has already done the
work - use this file instead
<http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~giac/sw/sig-alternate.cls>
But if you don't use T1 fontencodig, edit that file according to
