- Well, as Lord Melbourne (?) said,
- "I wish I were as certain about anything
- as you are about everything."
-
- My impression is that Macky people prefer TeXtures,
- while Unix people are happier with OzTeX,
- where they feel they have more control.
-
- Incidentally, have you used both?
- Very few people have, in my experience.
- (I used TeXtures 3 or 4 years ago,
- and was impressed,
- but also annoyed that I could not use fonts
- from elsewhere.
- Has that changed?)
