- Larger BibTeX:If your BibTeX is running out of space and talking about wizards, see Vince Darley's web page here for a new preferences file to increase memory.
1/9/02
- Textures 2.1.4 and missing LaTeX fonts: The extended AMS VF (Virtual Font) metrics are included on the Textures 2.1.4 CD, but not automatically installed. To install them, copy the metric suitcase AMSPS VF metrics into the TeX Fonts folder. (You'll find it way down in the CD Extras folder.)

- OS X and copy/paste: A problem with copy/paste between native applications and Textures, introduced in OS X 10.1, is fixed in the 10.1.2 release of OS X.

- Textures under Mac OS X: Textures 2.1 runs under the Classic environment, although it's necessary to have a quite recent version of ATM, 4.6.2 or later.

- The font metrics and input files necessary to typeset Mathematica notebooks outputted via Mathematica's TeXSave option have been brought together for convenient download and installation.
- An updated version of Edmetrics is available. An incorrect error message regarding FOND resources has been fixed.

- Textures under Mac OS X: Most of our customers report that Textures runs well in the Classic environment, with the very notable exception that they are unable to print. We find that an effective workaround is to print in the foreground. In other words, spooled print jobs do not print, but jobs printed directly work as expected. You can turn off background printing in the Chooser.
- OS9 requires ATM 4.5.2 or newer. When installing Textures under OS9, the Textures installer doesn't install ATM for you. Run the ATM 4.5.2 installer that is on the 2.1.1 CD in the Adobe Acrobat Reader/for OS9 folder.
3/28/00
- The scattered parts needed to implement the Lucida and Math Time font packages have been brought together into a single convenient package. Place the contents of each folder in the location indicated by the folder name (i.e., place the contents of the folder labeled "System/Fonts" in the System Folder's Fonts folder.) Note: This package does not include the post script fonts, which must be purchased separately.
