What is TFM? Why are you unsure?
The Fine Manual. It is a common TLA in many mailing lists.
OK, and what is a TLA?
I suppose that _that_ is the detail that was not clear to me. I did
not know that I need to have LaTeX packages installed in my LaTeX
distribution. I'm still not sure what that _means_, but I have enough
keywords to google on!
A LaTeX distribution is the same as a Linux distribution, but instead of programs like a Linux
distro it is a compound of packages.
Installing a LaTeX-package is easy when you use
the package manager of your LaTeX distribution. What distribution are your
using, MiKTeX under Windows or TeXLive under Linux?
As this is a Kubuntu system, should I assume that I am using TeXLive?
Yes. So just open TeXLive and go there to its package manager (and install svjour if it is available
there). How it works should be self-explanatory or have a look at its documentation. When svjour is
not offered by the package manager, then do what I wrote in my initial mail.
Thank you for your patience with this noob!
What is a noob, another TLA thing?
( ;-) you don't know LaTeX packages an I don't abbreviations.)
