corrected version of type1cm.sty
by Robin Fairbairns 05 Sep '02

05 Sep '02

i have contacted david carlisle, the author of type1cm.sty, and with his permission i have corrected the errors in the package that i know about. i have installed the new version of the package source on ctan - macros/latex/contrib/supported/type1cm/type1cm.fdd there were two errors i knew of (in the coding of the use of cmbx and cmti fonts), and bob tennent pointed out a third, in the use of euex10. if anyone should spot any further problem with this new version of the package, they should report it to me and i'll put it right on the archive. there shouldn't be any, since i've scanned the file for other errors ... but i missed euex :-( Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team

what i did on my holidays (uk tex faq)
by Robin Fairbairns 04 Sep '02

04 Sep '02

i have just installed, on ctan and on the web, a new release of the uk tex faq. changes: 1. this is the first time for ages that i've looked at the faq with an editorial eye: this occupied some of the time on my holiday... 2. yet more rearrangement of the section structure of the faq; in particular introducing new fonts and graphics sections. the fonts section hasn't had much technical work (though there is one new contributed answer in there), but the first three answers in graphics are completely new, and replace the old using postscript graphics. 3. several corrections and enhancements to existing answers, from contributors. 4. a select few additions from my (huge) backlog of questions to be answered. [distribution builders will find a new copy of detached html files in the usual place.] Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team
