We are finished! After a lot of trouble UMRAND.STY and the fonts UMRANDA.MF + UMRANDB.MF version 1.2 are ready for use! This is the first officially distributed version. With UMRAND.STY you can typeset fancy frames in TeX. This can by done with \fbox too? Well no one of this type: *+++*+++*+++*+++*+++*+++*+++* + + + TeX & METAFONT + * for * + President! + + + *+++*+++*+++*+++*+++*+++*+++* Instead of + and * there are line elements, meander, fishes, snakes, flowers, curls and many others in our fonts. The framesize is automatically computed in respect of the frame's contents. Many combinations of frame elements are possible. One restriction we had to made: The fonts only work on devices with equal x- and y-resolution. With 180x360dpi you will run into problems. A little comfort: You should try. You may be able to use some of the chars in our fonts. We don't know, whether that will change in the future. PS: Here you see, what we are doing at our ``table reserved for regular guests'' (Langenscheid dictionary, "`Stammtisch"' in German) in Wuppertal, Germany.
