Subject: New PostScript manuals generated

Message-ID: <m2pvtydleq.fsf@proletcult.slip.ifi.uio.no> (raw)
I changed the font size to 11pt -- 10pt seemed too small for Bembo and
12pt too big. I use Futura 10pt (which is the same size as Bembo
11pt, for some reason) for variable names (etc.) and Adobe Courier
11pt for the code examples (etc.). I was recommended IBM's Courier,
but we didn't have that one.
I've also added Luis' hand-drawn gnu herds for the chapter pages. I
blurred them some, since they weren't scanned in that high a
resolution. For the back cover I used something I generated
accidentally -- a washed-out section of the herd pictured with an
obscenely high smooth factor. A nice accident, I think.
So the manual now kinda looks like I want it to look, I think. Unless
I change my mind, of course. It's 250 pages, 1Mb compressed (20Mb
uncompressed -- those gnu herd pictures compress very nicely). Get it
from <URL:http://www.ifi.uio.no/~larsi/gnus.org.www/documents/>.
It'll spread over to <URL:http://gnus.org.www/documents/> later
tonight.
