Toolbars, Icons - new face of BaKoMa TeX.
Toolbars in TeXWord, Centaur, and DVIEW are redesigned.
- All icons are redesigned for 24x24 size,
which is more suitable than 16x16 icons for modern displays.
- Icon design is based on 256 colors XP style,
which provides nice looking icons.
- Toolbars are automatically sized and wrapped into required number of rows.
This feature may be disabled in toolbar customization dialog.
- [?] button in Text/Math Tool Bar open proper section of documentation.
- Improved default scaling of Symbol Panels (TeXWord) nad
Symbol Bars (Centaur).
Totally, more then 300 icons (math symbols of symbol panels are not counted),
has been designed to introduce this new look of the system.
We hope users will be happy to see this new face of the software.
Screenshots of new face are available at:
http://www.bakoma-tex.com/menu/screenshots.php
Common Settings - new program manages common configuration.
BaKoMa TeX Common Settings
-- new program available from Start/Programs system menu.
or via 'Options/Common Settings' menu command of
every program (TeXWord, Centaur, DVIEW).
This program joins common settings, whose was available
in different locations.
It includes several panels:
- Appearance -- options whose was available under:
- Options/Appearance/Dialogs & Bars (Centaur)
- Options/Appearance/Menu (Centaur)
- Options/Reset TeXOpen Options (Centaur, TeXWord)
- Directories -- search path configuration tool which was available under:
- Options/Directories (Centaur, TeXWord)
- Find Files -- test tool which was available under:
- File/Find Files in TDS (Centaur)
This tool has been noticeably redesigned to show
deep/long search pathes and provide more clear information.
- Font Cache -- options whose was available under:
- Options/Font Convertor Cache (Centaur)
- Install Fonts -- commands whose was available under:
- Options/Install DVIPS Font MAP file. (Centaur)
- Options/Install OpenType, TrueType, and PostScript Fonts for (La)TeX. (Centaur)
- Font Utilities -- test tools whose was available under:
- File/List of Available TeX Fonts (Centaur).
- Insert/List of LaTeX Font Families (Centaur).
Options/Appearance' dialog (Centaur) was completly decomposed:
'Color' tab -- moved into 'Options/Highlighting Colors' dialog (Centaur);
'Docking' tab -- renamed into 'Options/Docks Geometry' dialog.
VAR directory is moved to 'Local Settings'
VAR Directory
(used for font cache, image cache, TeX formarts, TCX files, etc.)
has been moved into 'Local Settings' directory.
In most computers it may be found at:
'C:\Documents and Settings\<User Name>\Local Settings\Application Data\BaKoMa TeX'
Fixed Problems
- Fixed crash after PgDn inside Outline under some Windows XP.
(some versions of common controls eventually send WM_NOTIFY
message of incorrect format. Just avoid to use passed data.)
- avoid 'dictfull' for local dictionaries (incl. save level == 0),
it has effect on DVIPS prolog files in common directories
(work around too small dictionary in 'solides.pro' and other buggy prologs).
- automatical closing (adding 'end') dictionaries loading
prologs with unclosed dictionaries (work around bug in 'solides.pro').
Updated Modules
- quicksetup.exe or
bkmtex.exe + texword.bkz
Support Patches
Version 8.17 (25-Dec-2007)
- MetaPost is updated to version 1.002.
Solved problems:
(a) Fixed Image Cache for importing MP figures;
(b) Fixed preparing fonts for MP graphics (use TeX font names);
(c) Space in directory name ('Program Files').
- Animate package compatibility.
We consider only WYSIWYG editing documents powered by Animate package.
To generate PDF output with animation DVIPS + Distiller should be used.
- MetaFont is updated to version 2.7182.
- Fixed bug in PKDecode filter
- displaying some PK fonts in DVIEW and TeXWord.
- www.BaKoMa-TeX.com
design is updated to provide more robust communication methods.
Version 8.15 (7-Nov-2007)
- Compatibility with AcroTeX eDucation Bundle:
We consider only WYSIWYG editing documents powered by AcroTeX.
To convert these documents into PDF you should use DVIPS + Distiller way.
Improvements include:
- Smooth work around of unsupported 'pdfmark' features.
- Improved configuration of HyperRef package.
- Defined paper sizes used by AcroTeX.
It was tested only with 'AcroTeX eDucation Bundle' available on CTAN.
AcroTeX Presentation Bundle is not tested.
- User macros support cross reference labels [TeXWord]
User macros have additional place holder ('??')
which will be replaced by cross reference label.
At executing macro with such place holder(s)
desired label is asked in special dialog.
Then all appearances of '??' are replaced by selected label.
This approach may be useful to define frequently used reference templates
such as:
'see section \ref{??} on page \pageref{??}'.
- Text/LaTeX Toolbars in TeXWord and Centaur have been redesigned as following:
- changed order of buttons to match order
of most popular word processign appications.
I.e. style, font family, font size, Bold, Italic, underline, etc.
- Font families (roman, sans serif, typewriter) are joined into
single submenu.
- Only italic font shape is present by button,
other font shapes are available via additional submenu.
- Ctrl+O, Ctrl+F, Ctrl+S - more standard key binding in TeXWord and Centaur:
We have made more standard key binding asked by many users:
- Ctrl+O - bind to 'File/Open';
- Ctrl+F - bind to 'Search/Find' (unbind from textsf/frac).
- Ctrl+S - bind to 'File/Save' (unbind from textsl/sqrt);
Alternative shortcuts for useful commands:
- Shift+Ctrl+F -> bind to frac (was Ctrl+F) [TeXWord];
- Shift+Ctrl+S -> bind to sqrt (math) (was Ctrl+S) [TeXWord];
- Shift+Alt+F -> Font Family [TeXWord and Centaur]
So, use [Shift+Alt+F S] key for \textsf and
[Shift+Alt+F T] key for \texttt;
- Shift+Alt+S -> More Font Shapes [TeXWord and Centaur]
So, use [Shift+Alt+S S] key for \textsl and
[Shift+Alt+S C] key for \textsc;
- Shift+Alt+P -> Font Size [TeXWord and Centaur]
- Ctrl+T - unbind from \texttt (not needed after toolbar redesign)
You can use [Shift+Alt+F T] key.
- CMYK Output in PDF Generation has been improved.
New approach avoids converting colors defined in CMYK,
so that PDF output includes preciselly the same CMYK colors
as defined in specials.
- Recovered Gather command in Centaur (CustomToAnsi).
- \usepackage[pdfcretor=...]{hyperref} is now work.
Version 8.12 (7-Oct-2007)
- Enabled binding User Macros to user toolbar in TeXWord.
- Fixed error in placing complex formulas by using PSFrag package (DVIEW/TeXWord).
- Fixed openning of BIB file with full-path specification (BiBEdit).
- Fixed chdir after rebuilding ls-R - violates multi file support ...
- Fixed 'Options/Install DVIPS font MAP file ...' to handle
'<['-form of record.
Version 8.11 (25-Aug-2007)
- Added handling JPEG2000 in imported PDF files
(JPXDecode is expanded by PDF2EPS at generating PostScript).
- Automatical disabling caching images imported by PSfrag package.
- Enabled caching of graphics included via absolute path,
such as '\includegraphics{c:/graphics/foo.eps}'.
- Valid key binding of Alt Gr key for german keyboard.
AltGr+7 ... AltGr+0 inserts proper keys without a warning.
- TeXWord/Proof Window: Enter key has more smart approach for
creating new paragraphs.
Version 8.10 (7-Aug-2007)
General improvement in BaKoMa TeX 8.10 is support of Image Cache
for imported graphics and slide background (PowerDot package).
This feature is supported in TeXWord and DVI Viewer.
In TeXWord this feature provides comfortable editing of documents with
any imported graphics. Caching imported graphics and slide background
may be enabled/disabled independently by new options of View menu:
- 'Use Imported Graphics Cache' - new option.
This feature enables caching graphics imported by \includegraphics LaTeX command.
It improves editing/viewing documents with complex EPS and PDF graphics.
It is nice choose instead of disabling imported images at editing time.
- 'Use Slide Background Cache (PowerDot)' - new option.
This feature enables caching slide background drawn by presentation packages.
Currently, this feature has effect only for PowerDot package.
However, it may be extended for another packages.
For example see 'BaKoMa/tex/latex/powerdot-cls.fix'.
- 'Imported Graphics Appearance' - renamed option (was 'Figures/Bounding Boxes').
It was renamed to be more consistent with new options.
Disabling imported images by using this option is obsolete recommendation now,
because using image cache provide almost the same editing speed.

Version 8.04 (14-Jul-2007)
- Fixed incompatility of texsys.cfg with ReVTeX 4.
Version 8.03 (10-Jul-2007)
- TeXWord/DView: Improved Page cache approach:
LRU, automatical discarting cached pages, saves video memory.
It improves browsing with very small and very large pages.
- TeXWord/Dview: Fixed jumping to hyper label 'page.*' when several pages
with required number exist.
- DView: Fixed jumping of page when scroll page by mouse hand tool in 'Continuous - facing' page layout.
Version 8.02 (3-Jul-2007)
- Fixed displaying symbol panels in dual monitor system [07/07/01].
- Keep focus in source window after displaying dialog in free docking mode [07/07/02].
Version 8.01 (21-Jun-2007)
- Shift+BkSp works in the same way as BkSp
- 'Internal TeX Encoding':
(a) automatical detection based on default font encoding,
(b) obfuscative '(Unknown)' option is removed.
- PDF import improvements:
(a) handling 'Rotate' feature is compatible with pdflatex.
(b) handling embedded unnamed Type3 fonts.
- Fixed collision between UTF8 tracking and multi-file support.
Version 8.0 (15-Jun-2007)
UNICODE Support - UTF8.
Central improvement in BaKoMa TeX 8.0 is
support of UTF8 encoding in TeXWord and Centaur Text Editor.
To edit UTF8 encoded documents you can choose 'UTF8'
option among other encodings of
the parameter 'Document Input Encoding'
available in the tab 'Script/Font'
of dialog opened by 'Options/Editing Settings' menu command.
In BaKoMa TeX 8.0, UTF8 is supported via complete Unicode
(there is no restrictions related with current code page).
Also, many features in BaKoMa TeX 8.0 internally works via Unicode.
It includes spell checker, search, keyboard input, displaying, etc.
You can easily switch between encodings (UTF8/ANSI)
on the fly without reloading file. This feature permits
editing documents mixed from different encodings.
Centaur spell checker converts 7bit TeX encoded words
(such as 'Stra\ss e' or even 'Stra"se') into unicode internally,
so that it can check such words correctly.
There is no restriction related with current code page, so
that you can simultaneously spell words from such languages as
german, polish, vietnamese (whose are not fitted into single code page).
Under TeXWord spell checker is restricted by current font encoding.
So, using T1 encodings permits simultaneous spell checking
such languages as german, polish, czech, french, etc.
Read also Update notes to learn more features
related with unicode support.
TeXWord Improvements.
- Handling TeX Errors - new feature.
Now you can browse through TeX error messages in console window,
by using buttons with red arrows at right bottom corner of
TeXWord main window. These buttons are shown only when error messages
are in console window. So, that appearing of these buttons signals
that some errors exist. At browsing through errors caret
is automatically moved to error source with accuracy of a single character.
- User/Manage User Macros -- new menu.
This dialog lets you to add own commands to 'User' menu.
Commands are defined to insert text fragments with optional
placeholder marks. First placeholder is replaced (at insertion)
by selected text or just selected for immediate replacement.
To jump to next placeholders Shift+Tab key in source window
may be used.
- Search in Text Source Window.
It is available via context menu (when no selection)
or via shortcut keys: F3, Alt+F3, Shift+F3.
Search in Preview window is redesigned for more consistency.
- Input focus in source window is now stable.
Focus is returned to source window after all operations
(invoking menu, opening dialogs, clicking toolbar and panel buttons, etc.)
and even after switching to another application.
This feature enables using all TeXWord input tools
at editing in source window.
Also, at editing in source window you can make selection by mouse
in preview window without changing focus to preview window
by keeping SHIFT key pressed.
- Insert/Document Properties/Language - improved approach.
Now this dialog touch 'fontenc' package when needed and
other options related with multilingual typesetting.
In short, if you have choose, for example,
german language, it prepares editor to typeset german document
in 8bit CP1252 encoding.
- Speller Dialog is redesigned and have two
additional commands to install more dictionaries:
- Install from Internet - click it and choose desired language from list.
- Install from Local Disk - helps to install dictionaries already preloaded on disk.
- TeXOpen - new tex file opening gate.
This tool is associated with *.TEX files.
It checks TeX-source and choose what to launch TeXWord or Centaur.
- Mouse wheel scrolls window under mouse cursor instead of window
with keyboard focus. It works across all BaKoMa TeX programs.
For example, you can scroll DVIEW window without switching focus to it.
- Menu and dialog accelerators work with any keyboard.
This feature is useful for writing non-latin languages
such as greek and cyrillic.
Update notes
Speller Dictionaries
BaKoMa TeX has important changes related to speller dictionaries.
- LOCAL/DICT directory with speller dictionaries is rearranged.
Dictionaries should be placed into subdirectories according to language.
I.e. move english dictionaries to LOCAL/DICT/English directory,
german dictionaries into LOCAL/DICT/German directory, etc.
- Codepage of speller dictionaries must be defined correctly.
This information is required because speller internally works in unicode.
To check code pages of all dictionaries open dialog
'Options/Speller Configuration', follow to
'Common Dictionaries' tab.
Then select sequentially every dictionary in list
and check that 'Code Page' value is set properly.
If no, just choose valid value.
- User Dictionary is now keeps words in UTF8 encoding.
To use already existing 'User Dictionary'
you must convert it from ANSI to UTF8.
To convert user dictionary load it into Centaur Text editor,
open dialog 'Edit/Convert Between Encodings',
choose input encoding of your dictionary, output encoding - UTF8,
and click [Convert] button. Finally, save the dictionary.
User Menu in TeXWord
Some user extensions may use the same name for custom menu.
You should change your extensions in one of two ways:
- Just choose another menu name for your macros.
- Remove creating 'User' menu [(&User@5) (Alt+U) /nop menukeydef]
In this case custom definitions will coexists with definitions
whose user can define online.
Updating Additional Modules
Several modules are adapted for BaKoMa TeX 8.0.
Such modules must be updated.
So, update is required for following modules:
- czech.bkz - fixed definition of IL2 encoding.
- polish.bkz - fixed definition of QX encoding.
- Russian.bkz - spell dictionary has been moved into 'Russian' subdirectory.
- vnTeX.bkz - Added definitions of VISCII, TCVN, and T5 encodings.
Support Patches
Version 7.92b (8-May-2007)
- Improved PDF generation to avoid bug in Acrobat 7.0 and 8.0,
whose are meet when PSfrag package is used.
- Fixed work of obfuscative construction such as '1 3 roll'.
