- We are finished! After a lot of trouble
-
- UMRAND.STY
-
- and the fonts
-
- UMRANDA.MF + UMRANDB.MF
-
- version 1.2
-
- are ready for use! This is the first officially distributed version.
- With UMRAND.STY you can typeset fancy frames in TeX. This can by done
- with \fbox too? Well no one of this type:
-
- *+++*+++*+++*+++*+++*+++*+++*
- + +
- + TeX & METAFONT +
- * for *
- + President! +
- + +
- *+++*+++*+++*+++*+++*+++*+++*
-
- Instead of + and * there are line elements, meander, fishes, snakes,
- flowers, curls and many others in our fonts. The framesize is
- automatically computed in respect of the frame's contents. Many
- combinations of frame elements are possible.
-
- One restriction we had to made: The fonts only work on devices with
- equal x- and y-resolution. With 180x360dpi you will run into
- problems. A little comfort: You should try. You may be able to use
- some of the chars in our fonts. We don't know, whether that will
- change in the future.
-
- PS: Here you see, what we are doing at our ``table reserved for
- regular guests'' (Langenscheid dictionary, "`Stammtisch"' in
- German) in Wuppertal, Germany.
