I would like to add that using same set of fonts for screen and for printer is not a curse but a blessing. Did you ever have a problem that a file can be previewed but can not be printed or a file can not be previewed but can be printed? With emTeX, you will never have such problems. I don't have the epertise/access in setting up a mailing list for emTeX. I can, if needed, provide help in such an effort. The author of emTeX told me that there is a mailing list in German. -- xiaofei@acsu.buffalo.edu / rutgers!ub!xiaofei / v118raqa@ubvms.bitnet
