CTAN submission -- NEdit LaTeX Extensions update
by Reinhard Zierke 21 Jun '04

21 Jun '04

----- Forwarded message from Joerg Fischer ----- I have uploaded an update for the NEdit LaTeX Extensions at ftp.dante.de to /support/NEdit-LaTeX-Extensions/. The new version is 0.8a. License is GPL. This version is triggered by a bug report. Using large bib files containing @String can lock NEdit (sorry for this). For all changes see the Changelog. Please remove all of the files in the NEdit LaTeX Extensions folder and add the submitted files to this folder. Text for announcement: The NEdit LaTeX-Mode is a package or set of macros, i.e. small programs, written in the NEdit macro or scripting language. It will turn NEdit, the Nirvana text editor, into an advanced LaTeX editor. Version 0.8a fixes some problems. If you have downloaded version 0.8, it will be enough to come to http://nedit.gmxhome.de/latexmode.html and download only the changed files (instead of the whole package). ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed it as suggested replacing the previous version in CTAN:support/NEdit-LaTeX-Extensions. However, I renamed the file Readme to README allowing it to be automagically displayed by some web browsers. Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

metatype1 on ctan
by Robin Fairbairns 12 Jun '04

12 Jun '04

metatype1 is the tool used to build the excellent lm fonts (there's a paper by boguslaw jackowski coming in the proceedings of the 1993 tug conference, which the tugboat team are currently working on). the authors of metatype1 have now agreed that it should appear on ctan, so i have mirrored its home site to fonts/utilities/metatype1. the directory also contains the source of an extended version of knuth's logo font, which serves as an example of the use of metatype1.
