- Problems
- ========
-
- Ñ OzTeX can only print on a PostScript-compatible printer.
-
- Ñ Some operations are frustratingly slow, especially on a Mac Plus.
- Be prepared for a lengthy wait when typesetting a large document.
- Interpretation of DVI pages during printing/viewing can also be slow.
-
- Ñ Because there is no integrated editor, you must remember to save a
- document before typesetting it with OzTeX.
-
- Ñ TeX doesn't like spaces in file names, so avoid them. If you forget
- this and try to run TeX on a file called "my story.tex" then TeX will
- complain that it can't find "my.tex".
-
- Ñ Most of the TFMs for PostScript fonts have a couple of non-standard ligatures.
- Typing "!!" produces "┴" and typing "??" produces "└". If you find this
- annoying then you could replace the TFMs with equivalents from another source
- or use the programs TFtoPL and PLtoTF to change the ligatures back to the
- standard pairings ("!`" and "?`" respectively). Or you can type "!{}!".
-
- Ñ When previewing a \special picture you might sometimes notice missing
- black pixels at the bottom of the bitmap, particularly at full view.
- This is due to the scaling algorithm used by the Mac's CopyBits routine.
- The same effect can also occur when viewing scaled characters from a PK font.
- The "missing" pixels will appear at some stage as you zoom in.
