MathGreek Font for !Formulate

Hello friendly people. I’m trying to use !Formulate on my Raspberry Pi RISCOS Direct 5.28 installation (with 4G ram, 16GB boot microSD card and a 2TB USB hard drive and Ethernet to wifi bridge). Unfortunately, the manual is written in Impression Style (1996 Edition), which works well under emulation. However, it keeps asking for a MathGreek font which I do not have installed. Does anyone know where this font may be found or, if not, have a picture of the font map which I can recreate from existing Abode Type 1 fonts and convert it via !T1toFont. Any help would be appreciated…

…and while I’m here, has anyone managed to get Tex to work on a 32 bit installation. I have Armtex, but it dosen’t work or I can’t get it to. Perhaps the online Latex editor Overleaf will work with newer browsers.

Thanks

It is supplied with Impression Publisher but not with Style.

One solution is to buy the printed manual for Impression from me, price £25 plus P&P, and you get the Impression Publisher Plus 5.13 software free with it (including MathGreek).

Thanks Chris.
I will keep that in mind, but I’m in Australia and the price of the manual + postage will probably be quite high. Do you have an electronic alternative?
After all, I’m currently running Linux Mint 21, GhostBSD 22.06.18 and RISCOS 5.28. The latter is more of a nostaglic hobby as I also have a RiscStation 7500, probably one of a few in the country.

Manual £25, postage £16.80 to AU. Pay by Paypal but let me have your address by e-mail as I can’t see it via Paypal. You get a download link for the full version of Impression Publisher Plus 5.13 which includes an electronic PDF version of the manual.

Ok, that sounds like a plan. Send me your details, where and how to sallyanne AT writeme DOT com.
Is version 5.13 32 bit?

Version 5.13 is 1996 vintage and requires Aemulor.

@Sallyanne
For information I use !TeX and !DVIview with my ARMX6 5.29. (I’m doing math revision,by logging into a website whose content is mostly in LaTeX).

I don’t know !Formulate, maybe !Formulix?
I use TechWriter for my documents.

FWIW my biassed view is that if you want to write documents that include maths ‘equations’ etc then one of the best arguments for using RO is to use 8-]

That said, the snag for webpage creation is that equations end up as bitmaps. (Atmittedly anti-aliased.)

When I try to download the ZIPs on this page, I get a “404 Not Found”. Has anyone found a way to download them?

I just tried variations on the addresses the page shows and none I tried worked.

Sorry, I hadn’t tested it, the only links that no longer work on this site are those relating to TeX etc…

@John I have the archive files, just in case…

@Jim, for TechWriter, the best would have been an SVG export…

Is this Github link of any use to people? https://github.com/llewelld/armTeX

SVG isn’t available as such so far as I can see. But presumably can be obtained via saving as a DrawFile and then using a utility to convert that to SVG?

That said, I don’t normally use the equations much these days. But useful to know!

@John I have the archive files, just in case…

I was only looking out of casual interest, Jean-Michel, but thanks for the offer.

Is this Github link of any use to people?

Unfortunately not, Steve. I’m not a programmer and wouldn’t know where to begin with the source files.

All links on https://www.flypig.co.uk/armtex appear to be working at present.

Edit
Unfortunately the ArmTex link actually downloads something that isn’t the zip, but Chris seems to have found a valid route to the file.

ARMtex binary (https://www.flypig.co.uk/dnload/dnload/armtex/armtex.zip):

Case-sensitive resource ???

Just reading the original question again, the Impression document may not have even used the MathGreek font, it just had a habit of asking for all the fonts which were present when it was saved. This is why I only ever had the default fonts installed at start up and added extra when needed.

no problems with DViView anf BuTex
Thank you for the correction.
