Problems
========
Ñ OzTeX can only print on a PostScript-compatible printer.
Ñ Some operations are frustratingly slow, especially on a Mac Plus.
Be prepared for a lengthy wait when typesetting a large document.
Interpretation of DVI pages during printing/viewing can also be slow.
Ñ It would be nice if OzTeX had an integrated editor so that after getting
a TeX error you could type "e" and OzTeX would automatically open the current
input file and select the offending line. ╖Edit is satisfactory but lacks a
number of useful features, especially support for multiple-window editing.
Ñ Because there is no integrated editor, you must remember to Save a ╖Edit
document before typesetting it with OzTeX. The same warning applies when
using MultiFinder to switch from a text editor to OzTeX.
Ñ OzTeX's \special handling does not include support for PICT files.
An EPS file can be used in a \special but OzTeX's previewing code makes no
attempt to use the bounding box information, nor any PICT resource.
Ñ TeX doesn't like spaces in file names, so avoid them. If you forget
this and try to run TeX on a file called "my story.tex" then TeX will
complain that it can't find "my.tex".
Ñ Most of the TFMs for PostScript fonts have a couple of non-standard ligatures.
Typing "!!" produces "┴" and typing "??" produces "└". If you find this
annoying then you could replace the TFMs with equivalents from another source
or use the programs TFtoPL and PLtoTF to change the ligatures back to the
standard pairings ("!`" and "?`" respectively). Or you can type "!{}!".
