Abstracts to contrast against non-mathematical typefaces set with TEX; and Cambria Math, designed in concert with a new text face to take advantage of new Microsoft solutions for screen display and maths composition. In all three cases, the typefaces were created to show the capabilities of new technological solutions for setting maths. The technical advances inherent in each font are shown to be as central to its function as its visual characteristics. By looking at each typeface and technology in turn, and then comparing and contrasting the issues that are addressed in each case, it becomes apparent that even though certain challenges are overcome with technical advances, the need to consider the specific behaviours of type in a maths setting remains constant. See http://www.ultrasparky.org/school for the complete paper and other typographical items. Medical pedigrees with TEX and PSTricks: New advances and challenges Boris Veytsman, Leila Akhmadeeva A medical pedigree is an important tool for researchers, clinicians, students and patients. It helps to diagnose many hereditary diseases, estimate risks for family members, etc. Recently we reported a comprehensive package for automatic pedigree drawing. Since then we have TUG Institutional Members Aalborg University, Department of Mathematical Sciences, Aalborg, Denmark American Mathematical Society, Providence, Rhode Island Aware Software, Inc., Midland Park, New Jersey Banca d’Italia, Roma, Italy Center for Computing Sciences, Bowie, Maryland Certicom Corp., Mississauga, Ontario, Canada CSTUG, Praha, Czech Republic Florida State University, School of Computational Science and Information Technology, Tallahassee, Florida IBM Corporation, T J Watson Research Center, Yorktown, New York Institute for Defense Analyses, Center for Communications Research, Princeton, New Jersey MacKichan Software, Washington/New Mexico, USA Marquette University, Department of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science, Milwaukee, Wisconsin Masaryk University, Faculty of Informatics, Brno, Czech Republic Moravian College, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania MOSEK ApS, Copenhagen, Denmark New York University, Academic Computing Facility, New York, New York Princeton University, Department of Mathematics, Princeton, New Jersey extended the algorithm for a number of complex cases, including correct drawing of consanguinic relationships, twins and many others. In this talk we review the facilities of the current version of the program and the new challenges in computeraided drawing of medical pedigrees. We try to make the talk interesting to TEXnicians by discussing the experience of design a TEX-based application working in a “real world”. Observations of a TEXnician for hire Boris Veytsman Several years ago the author was tempted by extremely cheap rates for TUGboat advertisements, and declared urbi et orbi he was a TEX consultant. This audacious step led to many interesting experiences. Some results of this work were published on CTAN and listed at http:// borisv.lk.net/latex.html (the list includes both commissioned packages and the ones I wrote for my own purposes). In this talk I report on my past projects, big and small, and discuss the lessons learned from my journeys in the fascinating world of publishers, editors and authors. I describe writing book and journal styles, communication with customers and other issues relevant for TEX consulting.
