- Textures too is standard TeX. Bitmap fonts can be imported using
- a program available for free from Blue Sky (why it's just not
- included, I don't know--actually, it may be there on newer
- releases on the last disk... perhaps someone from Portland can
- shed some light on that). Importing/exporting DVI files is very
- simple.
-
- Not sure what you mean about being able to configure OzTeX more
- extensively thhan Textures... there's not much that I know of
- that you can't configure with Textures (although default-setting
- is a recent option added about a year ago or so... Create a file
- Defaults in your TeX Formats folder to set defaults.)
