Glisterings: LaTeX and Other Oddments

This collection of Glisterings columns primarily covers LaTeX
topics, with excursions into fonts, graphics, bookbinding, and
more. The focus is on practical answers to specific questions posed by users. Generally, several answers are presented with accompanying discussion.

The Glisterings column was a popular feature in TUGboat, the
journal of the TeX Users Group, from 2001 to 2017. The present volume collects all published columns, and adds a comprehensive bibliography and index, along with a few updates to the text, as needed.

TeX is a sophisticated typesetting system that has been in widespread use since approximately 1980. TeX’s originator, Donald Knuth, structured the system so users could add functionality. It remains the state of the art.

The TeX Users Group (TUG) is a membership-based non-profit organization founded in 1980, for those who have an interest in typesetting, typography and font design and/or are users of the TeX typesetting system. New members, volunteers, and donations are always welcome; please visit www.tug.org.
