- Indeed it is :-}

- Tom Rokicki, the author of NeXT-TeX, has told me that NeXT-TeX 3.0 is
- fully NFSS "compliant" which means that if you want to add NFSS there
- should be nothing in NeXT-TeX 3.0 to break it and all shoudl run well.
- However: he does not "support" NFSS in the sense that it does not come
- with NT3.0. His reason for this is that since NFSS is still changing
- all the time he did not feel it made sense to ship with a version that might
- soon be out of date (and given what I've seen about the changes in NFSS
- on comp.text.tex I think this is a very reasonable approach).
-
- If you want to add NFSS to your NEXT-TeX see the TeX FAQ for information.
- If you run into trouble then post here and somebody should be able to help
- (Erik Sowa comes to mind --- sorry Erik :-)
-
- Hope this is Helpful --- tom
