Re: Uploaded TeX reconsidered

I have been talking to Fasthosts Customer Support who tacitly confirm some
of Robin Fairbain's suspicions about the standard of the email-based
Technical Help Team. The server *does* apparently do PDFs from the home
page.

The Customer Support guy had the page up on his system. But for some reason
neither Internet Explorer (which gets Page Unavailable) nor Mozilla (which
displays a lot of code looking like it's the contents of a PDF that has had
its extension retyped to htm) display the PDF on my system. Can't work out
what that's all about.

But the font display problem persists; I'm told it means there's a font in
the text that can't be interpreted by Internet explorer, or Mozilla, in a
way that can be read by Acrobat; you'll remember that the problem occurs
where I have 8pt italics. My documentclass is currently Book (I was using it
to get the alternating left-right running headers - but that's not
critical); perhaps I will get a legible font with a different documentclass?
Any suggestions?

As just about everyone who has tried to help you has said, post the damn
examples (in a zip file). Why this is apparently not getting through is
obscure to me. I for one will stop reading this thread until I see a
message under your name, with FILES POSTED in the header, and, in the
body, instructions telling us where the files may be retrieved.
