The TeX Users Group (TUG) was founded in 1980 for educational and scientific purposes, to provide an organization for those who have an interest in typography and font design, and are users of the TeX typesetting system invented by Donald Knuth.

TUG is run by and for its members and represents the interests of TeX users worldwide. If you use any of TeX system programs (TeX, LaTeX, Metafont, MetaPOST, Texinfo, et al.), please consider joining TUG (see TUG membership benefits, which include the journal TUGboat as well as the TeX Live and Dante CTAN CD's), or another TeX user group.

The Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN) is the primary repository for TeX-related software on the Internet. CTAN has thousands of items, including macro packages, fonts, whole systems, and much more. (The TeX Catalogue may help you find what you need.)
