Including, embarassingly, the magazine of SIGCSE (the ACM SIG for CS education). I was going to submit something a year or two ago, couldn't find the LaTeX stylesheet, and sent an email to the editor---who breezily responded that Word was required, and that their authors didn't really complain about this. Self-fulfilling: I decided it was more trouble than it was worth and published it elsewhere, so although I have complained, I'm not one of their authors!

It does explain why the typesetting is so bad, though. Figures are especially atrocious, and there are pixellation issues and routine font problems throughout.




I was shocked when IEEE Computer wanted a Word document. In their defense, I don't think they actually lay everything out in Word. I think they just decided that's the easiest way for their layout people to get text and figures for an article.
