Hi, Unfortunately, I don't have access to the original; it is a conference paper. Preview says the file was created using Distiller 7.0 from a word document. It also mentions something called PScript.dll which I'm guessing an adobe postscript library? However, I have many file that work...

Hello, When I print certain PDF to paper I result in a page with no text! The only think the that is printed is symbols and figures (even the text on the figures doesn't print!). I have tried re-saving the PDF, and also saving as postscript then re-printing, all doesn't work. The only success...

You can also look at the example projects in your Developer folder, /Developer/OpenGL/GULT/ to find a working project.

It wouldn't take too long to knock up an application like this using CoreData from all the examples I have seen. Of course if you go that route it will only run on a Mac (10.4 and higher). Concierge seems to be intergrated into the apple website too, I don't know how this functionality it to be...

Hi, You will need to edit the .plist file originally posted by Viro so that it links to where fink stores the binary files. If I remember correctly fink would put it in /sw/bin so try this: Make sure this text is saved as a .txt and not an .rtf, name/save it here: ~/.MacOS/environment.plist

Hi, It is fairly easy to read and write data from/to files with cocoa (we are talking a few lines of code). If you think this will be useful let me know and I'll show you. Dan

Hi, You could try repairing permission using Disk Utility? What are the permission of the folder set to (like the revel triangle under the permissions header in the the information window)? Dan

Hi folks, I have happily been using Preview for the last few years on my system; it's having a non-bloatware pdf reader. However, recently (the last few days) Preview has been displaying junk text where is use to display actual document! The problem is very strange and seems to come and...

Hi, I use LaTeX to produced paper and reports. Would just like a little more control over the look. How can I tell what fonts I have installed on my teTeX distribution? I installed the with the 'Full' option in i-installer. So I should have them all available, I guess. What do you use on you...

Hi everybody, Does anybody have experience on how to install additional fonts in LaTeX? I found a few pages on the internet but found them too complicated to follow. Has anybody done this successfully? Is this possible with the teTex manager installer 'i-installer'. I used LaTeX with my...

Hi, You should get in touch with David Rosen at http://www.wolfire.com/. He has been developing games since your age and might have some advice for you. Good luck!

Hi, I didn't know it could do that! Ever since I got a Mac I haven't used Acrobat Reader; on PC is was a bloated, slow waste of time! Don't think I can use it again :0) I'll have a download and see... Cheers, Dan.

Hello folks, I have been printing out a lot of pdfs and annotating them recently. This made me wonder if it was possible to annotate directly onto the electronic copy using a tablet like input device such as the Wacom Graphire? Can I get my handwriting, underling and drawing of arrows to...

Install darwin ports and then install xemacs or emacs (or just build from source). I have also noticed that the default version of emacs with OSX doesn't launch the GUI - does anybody know why this is? It is as if it is automatically loading with --no-window option. Dan PS - you can also use...

Great! Happy plotting :0) Dan.
