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.
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.
