The LATEX document you are reading contains last-minute information
regarding the TRUETEX release you have installed.
This information supercedes any statements in the TRUETEX User's Guide.
The TRUETEX ``Read Me First'' icon
views this document using the TRUETEX previewer.
If you are unfamiliar with the previewer and haven't yet read about it
in the TRUETEX User's Guide, you should
find the basics of using the previewer very easy:
just use the scroll bars to move about
the page, drag the mouse to zoom in, press Space to zoom out,
and use PgDn and PgUp to move to the next or previous page.
You can print this document by selecting File Print in the previewer.
Previewing this document
also serves as a basic test of whether the TRUETEX installation succeeded.
For example, if any of the fonts on this page appear in blue on your
color display (indicating a font substitution), then there was a problem with
the installation of the TrueType fonts included with TRUETEX, and you should
consult the TRUETEX User's Guide for information on font troubleshooting.
You can get later editions of this document over the Internet to keep
up-to-date on the status of TRUETEX upgrades:
