\centerline{\bf Cahiers GUTenberg}
\centerline{\bf Summaries from Number 9, July 1991:}
\gut Polices, \TeX\ et Cie: Alain Cousquer \& \'Eric
Picheral: The purpose of this paper is to introduce the
principles of the handling of the fonts in \TeX\ together
with their usage, and the pattern of the fonts which is
more straightforward than in \PS. We also explain the
complex mechanisms of selection which do not usually
appear, and finally we present virtual fonts as well as
various files used with \TeX.*3--31.

\gut Lucida, une fonte compl\`ete pour \LaTeXsl, et son
installation: Philippe Louarn: This paper presents an
experimentation of using the font Lucida and its math
extension inside \LaTeX\ documents. We explain our
choice, and we show benefits, and also disadvanages, of
this choice. The last part of the paper is a brief
summary ofthe installation procedure.*32--40.

\gut The Economist polit ses polices: Olivier Nicole
(translator): In its issue dated May 25th, The Economist
devoted a full spread to the reasons behind its change of
type face. The British economic weekly magazine's effort
at giving full information on a `face lift' that may go
unnoticed by most readers illustrates a trend which is
about to revolutionize the publishing trades.*41--48.

\gut Grif et l'\'edition de documents structur\'es:
nouveaux d\'eveloppements: Vincent Quint, Ir\`ene
Vatton, Jacques Andr\'e \& H\'el\`ene Richy: Grif is an
interactive system for the production and  viewing of
structured documents. It allows manipulation of complex
documents containing mathematical formulas, tables,
schemas, etc., placing the stress on the logical
organisation of the documents. This article presents the
pricipal characteristics of the system in its present
state and highlights the line of its future
development.*49--65.

\gut Typographie du jeu d'\'echecs: Henry Thomas:
Presents different solutions for typesetting chess, in
\LaTeX, \PS, and Macintosh specific applications.*66--73.

\gut Star-\TeX: Andr\'e Heck: \TeX\ and \LaTeX\ have been
used from the beginning and are still extensively used by
astronomers and space scientists around the world for
their mail, for writing papers, for putting together
newsletters, proceedings, reports, books and so on. Some
publishers have also set up their own sets of macros for
journals and\slash or book series. It seems however that
there is a tendency to pull out of \TeX\ and go towards
more user friendly systems.*75--78.

\gut Quand \TeX\ rencontre Mozart\dots: Yannis
Haralambous: A report of the \Dante\ meeting held in
Vienna on 20th--22nd February 1991.*79--81.

\gut L'association\dots\ fait la force: Bernard Gaulle:
The recent events in the {\La}\TeX\ world like the work
on fonts with 256 characters or the first book published
by \GUTenberg\ or lastly the preparation of the 6th
European \TeX\ Conference, demonstrate the usefuleness
and the benefit of the association of people working in a
team. This article ends with a call for
volunteers.*83--85.

\medskip
\centerline{\bf Summaries from Number 10--11,} 
\centerline{\bf September 1991:} \smallskip
\gut Russian \TeX: Basil Malyshev, Alaxander Samarin \&
Dimitri Vulis: This article presents the \TeX\ extension
for processing the russian texts. Russian \TeX\ is based
on version 3.0 and virtual fonts. The different coding
schemes for russian characters are allowed.*1--6.
 

\gut \TeX niques in Siberia: Theo Jurriens: This article
summarizes the problems of giving a \LaTeX\ course in
Siberia. It concludes with an overview concerning the
future of \TeX\ inside the USSR.*7--13.


\gut \TeX\ and Africa: J\"org Knappen: At the present
time, \TeX\ is not usable for typesetting many african
languages. They use special letters which do not occur in
the standard fonts (and are not included in the
ec-scheme). The letters used in the major languages of
africa can be put into {\it one} font. A font encoding
scheme (fc) and some \MF\ code is prepared. There is some
work in progress on hausa \TeX.*15--24.


\gut Vers une version arabis\'ee de \TeX: Oussama
Boughaba, Seifeddine Boutalbi \& Michel Fanton: This
paper presents the state of development of an arabicized
version of \TeX.*25--44.

\gut \TeX\ integrated shell for IBM pc: Basil Malyshev \&
Alexander Samarin: This article presents the \TeX\
Integerated Shell (TIS) -- special environment for \TeX\
on IBM pc to conceal some problems from an ordinary user.
TIS contains the screen interface for different actions
during \TeX ing. It can be configured to satisfy the
user's requirements and hardwre and software conditions.
It downloads only the files to be used, in particular,
pixel font files are required for a given \dvi\
file.*45--55.

\gut Automatic generation of virtual fonts with accented
letters of \TeX: Ji\v r\'\i\ Zlatu\v ska: This paper
presents an approach towards deriving fonts with accented
letters for European languages using virtual fonts as an
alternative to the development of genuine new fonts in
the \MF. The {\tt accents} processor is presented as a
tool for mechanization of the process by enabling
automatic generation of accented font layout and the
virtual font definition from the \tfm\ file of the source
font in the \TeX\ text encoding, and from an auxiliary
input containing corrections of accent placement for
specific characters.*57--68.



\gut Scholar\TeX: Yannis Haralambous: Scholar\TeX\ is a software package
consisting of fonts, \TeX-executables, and a detailed
manual with examples and exercises. Scholar\TeX\ allows
easy and efficient use of \TeX\ for typesetting in
Arabic, Persian, Ottoman, Pashto, Urdu, Hebrew, Yiddish,
Estrangelo, Armenian, Greek, Latin, Fraktur, Schabacher,
Anglo-Saxon: others are planned.*69--70.



\gut Babel, a multilingual style-option system:  \hskip-4ptJohannes
Braams: The babel system of style options attempts to
adapt (\La)\TeX\ to a multi-lingual environment.*71--2.

\gut \TeX\char'72\ les limites du multingualisme: Michel Fanton:
This paper describes the specific features of arabic
typesetting and gives an account ofthe price to pay in
developing an arabicized version of \TeX.*73--79.

\gut An international version of makeindex: Joachim
Schrod: makeindex\ is a powerful and portable index
processor which may be used with several formatters. But
it is only usable for English texts; non-English texts,
especially with non-Latin alphabets, like Russian,
Arabic, or Chinese, may bot be easily worked on. The
tagging of index entries is often tedious and
error-prone. If a markup is used with the index key, an
explicit sort key must be given. A new version of
\makeindex\ is presented which allows the automatic
creation of sort keys from index keys by user specific
mappings. Furthermore it needs less main memory than the
former one, and may now be used for large indexes even on
small computers.*81--90.

\gut Conversion of Microsoft Word into \LaTeXsl: Paul
Bacsich, Ethel Hayes, Paul Lefrere \& Geoff Yarwood: We
describe a program which converts Microsoft Rich Text
Format files into standard \LaTeX. This program converts
glyphs, character attributes, style information, fonts,
lists and tables to their `equivalents' (if any) to
\LaTeX. The latest version of the program also converts
mathematical mark-up on Word Formula Mode to the \LaTeX\
equivalents.*91.

\gut AsTeX: an integerated and customizable multiwindow
environment for scientific research: Michael Lavaud:
As\TeX\ is a program that runs on a pc under the control
of Framework 3, and trabsforms it into an integrated and
customizable multiwindow environment for scientific
research, as comfortable to use as the one of a
workstation. It includes a hypertext-like file manager
which allows classificationa nd archiving of all teh
files related to the current document by means of a
hierarchy of explicit titles. It also has an interface
with a local or remote Fortran compiler, allowing
numerical computations from a \LaTeX\ document. Similarly
there is an interface to the computer algabra program
Maple.*93--116.

\gut Tailored database publishing with \TeX: Steen Larsen
\& Arne Flemming Jensen: \TeX\ is well suited to produce
inventories such as bibliographies or dictionaries. Such
publications are characterized by a large number of
entries, a high uniformity of structure, typographical
variation, and high demands on line and page breaking.
Sorting of entries and compiling of indices will often be
necessary. The paper presents an approach chosenwhen
establishing a tailored \TeX-based database publishing
system for the bibliography Nordic Archaeological
Abstracts. The solution was implemented by combining
theree different systems: an interface management system,
a database management system, and \TeX. The system is
described and compared to the previous editor-based
production, and future possibilities are briefly
sketched.*117--134.


\gut Drawing tree structures with GWEZ: Bernard Leguy:
GWEZ is a set of macros able to build tree structures and
to draw them; these macros are written with \TeX; they
use only plain \TeX\ commands and fonts and can be used
as well with \LaTeX.*135--146.

\gut Math into BLUes\char'72\ Sing your song: Kees van der Laan:
\TeX ing mathscripts is not simply typing. Math has to be
translated into \TeX\ commands. First the motivation for
this work is given. Next traditional math page make-up is
summarized along with the macroscopic math \TeX\
commands. After answering `Why is \TeX ing mathscripts 
difficult?' an anthology of \TeX\ falls and their
antidotes is discussed. At the end suggestions are given
in order to lessen the difficulties.*147--170.

\gut  Organizing a large collection of stylefiles:
Angelika Binding:  Springer Verlag has to maintain a large collection of
macro packages for different layouts, for which there are versions both
for plain \TeX\ and \LaTeX\ and for different sets of fonts. We
therefore designed a concept of modularising these packages and have
implemented mechanisms to creat format files loading our individual set
of fonts without changing the syandard format files |plain| and
|lplain|.*171--184.


\gut Typesetting SGML documents using \TeX: Andrew E Dobrowolski:
Since its publication as an international standard in 1986, the Standard
Generlaized Markup Language (\sgml) has become the preferred document
markup standard within many industries. The users have devekloped their
own document type definitions (DTDs) which define the elements (tag
sets) for their documents. However, if \sgml\ is to become a universally
accepted standard of document interchange then a standard way to specify
formatted output and a means of producing that output will be needed.
\TeX\ can be used as the formatting engine to implement FOSI-based
(Formatted Output Specification Instance) formatting, as required by the
CALS (Computer-aided Acquisition and Logistic Support) initiative which
selected \sgml\ as the text interchange standard, and FOSI as the means
of formatted output specification exchange. Without extending
\TeX\ not every FOSI formatting request can be fulfilled.
Converesely, certain \TeX\ capabilities cannot be formulated in terms of
FOSI characteristics. However, a FOSI/\TeX\ based formatting system
would be a major advance towards fulfilling the document interchange
needs of a growing community of \sgml\ users.*185--196.

\gut Vers la construction de macros de mise en coleur
pour \TeX: Christophe C\'erin: Presents a step-by-step approach to
putting colour in \TeX\ documents.*197--206.

\gut Wysiwyg-\TeX-editors on the basis of object-oriented
system technology: Bernd Schmid: Describes the motivation behind the
development of a \wysiwyg-editor which is based on an object-oriented
programming methodology and \TeX.*208.


\gut Lucida, une fonte compl\`ete pour \LaTeXsl\ et son
installation: Philippe Louarn: Presents an experiment in using the
Lucida fonts including the maths and extension fonts, in \LaTeX\
documents. We explain the benefits and disadvantages of this choice. We
also include a short summary of installation procedures.*208.

\gut Composition des formules chimiques en \TeX: Maurice
Laugier: Formatting chemical formulae with \TeX\ needs some special
macros to describe links and ramifications. Here are presented some
macros to format equations.*209--221.
