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.
Please consider joining TUG to support use and development of TeX and friends. Subscribe to our monthly newsletter (tex-announce) if you like (sent to all members).
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 q&a site (tex.stackexchange.com), forum (latex.org), reddit, public mailing list (texhax), and in other ways.

- TUGboat 41:1, a regular issue, has been mailed to current TUG members. (Mail delivery will be delayed, possibly significantly, due to the global health situation, but the printed copies are in the pipeline. USPS list of affected countries.) The issue is also available online and from the TUG store. In addition, prior TUGboat issue 40:3, another regular issue, is now publicly available. Submissions for the upcoming issues this year are most welcome: deadline for 41:2 is August 3, and for 41:3 is October 15. Articles, tutorials, announcements, and any other items would be greatly appreciated, since we will be lacking a proceedings issue.
- TeX Live 2020 and MacTeX 2020 and proTeXt for 2020 have been released. They are primarily distributed online through CTAN (TL, MacTeX, proTeXt). The TeX Collection 2020 DVD will be sent to TUG and other user group members; it can also be ordered through the TUG store.
