\chapter{Welcome to GNU TeXmacs}

Thank you for using this program. Since this seems to be the first
time that you are using it, you will find a few useful comments and
suggestions below. This text only appears at the first time when
you start {\TeXmacs}. If you want to read it again, you can find it
in the menu \subsubmenu{Help}{about}{first start}.

  \item[Support.]

    If you like the program, then you may subscribe yourself to
    one of the {\TeXmacs} mailing lists: see
\begin{verbatim}
    http://www.texmacs.org/Web/Support.html

    Also, you should not hesitate to directly contact the author
    at €vdhoeven@texmacs.org€ for questions, suggestions or bugs.

  \item[Fonts.]

    The {\TeXmacs} program uses professional {\TeX} fonts.
    When you launch the program for the first time,
    many of these fonts may have to be generated,
    which may significantly slow down the editor.
    Keep cool: each font needs only to be generated once.
    At
\begin{verbatim}
    ftp://ftp.texmacs.org/pub/TeXmacs/Fonts.html
\end{verbatim}
    you may also find some instructions about how to download
    some pregenerated fonts.
