The TeX Users Group (TUG) was founded in 1980 to provide an organization for people who are interested in typography and font design, and/or are users of the TeX typesetting system invented by Donald Knuth.
If you're new to TeX and are looking for a system to install, or have questions to ask, click here to get started.
If you're looking for help, you can get community support via a public mailing list (texhax), forum (latex-community.org), q&a site (tex.stackexchange.com), or in other ways.
