Please email answers to avoid cluttering up the net with trivia like this. 1. How can I use the postscript printer's native fonts (e.g., Palatino, New Century Schoolbook, ...)? It isn't that I don't like the CM fonts, but I would like to have the option to print something in a different font. 1a. What's a good dvi2ps program, and how can you tell one from another? All the ones I've seen are called dvips or dvi2ps. 2. In the letter.sty, is there a way to get pagerefs and labels to work? What I'm doing appears to work for the article.sty, but it won't work for letters. It appears the letter.sty doesn't cause that information to be written (to the .aux? file) and never reads it in during a second pass either. Is there a *simple* hack to fix this? 3. Does anyone publish "The TeXbook" in a hardbound edition? I've had my spiral-notebook-bound copy only a short time and it's already falling apart. If I buy the other books in "Comp.Modrn.Typesetting" or whatever it's called, will they all be in this cruddy format? Thanks in advance, Luke -- S. Luke Jones | slj@mtung.att.com | "System Test?
