And Knuth further recommends that the name be typeset as a logo with one letter off the base line. Damned if an awful lot of people, especially LaTeX users, don't follow his advice. I've known and admired Knuth for over 50 years, but part ways with him on this. If you use the ready-made LaTeX logo in running text, so should you also use flourished cursive for Coca-Cola and Ford; and back in the day, discordantly slanted letters for Holiday Inn. It's mad and it's a pox on the page. Doug
