[TriLUG] More on Plain TeX

Hi everyone,

I just answered one more question about Plain TeX. It's possible to
nest styles like I documented in this article:

http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/lyx/lyx_latex_tex.htm#_Styles_Macros_Groups_and_Environments

Inability to do this would have stopped me cold.

The other obvious potential stumbling block is fonts. I need to be able
to use Century Schoolbook and Liberation Sans and the like, not just
stuff like cmbx14. Once I can use real fonts in Plain TeX, I'll be
ready to do a proof of concept TeX book.

Thanks,

SteveT
