🌸 NAME 🌸

pslatex — utility to typeset LaTeX files using PostScript fonts 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

pslatex [LATEXARGS] LATEXFILE[.tex]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea, bestie: pslatex lets you typeset a LaTeX source file using the basic Adobe Type 1 PostScript fonts — that's Times, Helvetica, and Courier, the holy trinity 💅 — and the way it does it is iconic: you don't have to edit your file to load the necessary packages. she just handles it. no cap. 🙈

also, she takes any arguments that latex(1) can take. any of them. she's flexible like that. 🫶

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • None. — literally none, bestie. zero flags. she simply is. 👑
