For a general introduction to LATEX, including the new features of
LATEX2e, you should read ,
Leslie Lamport, Addison Wesley, 2nd~ed, 1994.
A more detailed description of the LATEX<#35#><#35#> font selection scheme is to
be found in , Goossens, Mittelbach and Samarin, Addison
Wesley, 1994.
The LATEX<#37#><#37#> font selection scheme is based on TEX, which is described
by its developer in The TEXbook, Donald E.~Knuth, Addison
Wesley, 1986, revised in 1991 to include the features of TEX~3.
Sebastian Rahtz's |psnfss| software contains the software for using a
large number of Type~1 fonts (including the Adobe Laser Writer 35 and
the Monotype CD-ROM fonts) in LATEX. It should be available from the
same source as your copy of LATEX.
The |psnfss| software uses fonts generated by Alan Jeffrey's
|fontinst| software. This can convert fonts from Adobe Font Metric
format into a format readable by LATEX, including the generation of
the |.fd| files described in Section~#Sec:install#39>. The
|fontinst| software should be available from the same source as your
copy of LATEX.
Whenever practical, LATEX<#40#><#40#> uses the font naming scheme
described in Filenames for fonts, Karl Berry,
TUGboat 11(4), 1990.
The class-writer's guide describes
the new LATEX<#44#><#44#> features for writers of document classes and packages
and is kept in |clsguide.tex|.
We are gradually turning the source code for LATEX<#45#><#45#> into a LATEX<#46#><#46#>
document . This document includes an index of
LATEX<#48#><#48#> commands and can be typeset from |source2e.tex|.
