CTAN update: xkeyval v2.5c
by CTAN Announcements 30 Jun '05

30 Jun '05

On Thu, 30 Jun 2005, Hendri Adriaens submitted an update to the xkeyval package. This package is an extension of the keyval package and offers additional macros for setting keys and declaring and setting class or package options. The package allows the programmer to specify a prefix to the name of the macros it defines for keys, and to define families of key definitions; these all help use in documents where several packages define their own sets of keys. ------------------------------------------------ xkeyval v2.5c ------------------------------------------------ Bug solution: avoid initializing control sequences used in define@cmdkey(s) to elax ------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the update.

CTAN has a new package: LFB
by Jim Hefferon 30 Jun '05

30 Jun '05

The package described below has been installed on tug.ctan.org and through the magic of Rainer's mirroring process, will soon propagate to your favorite mirror. Thanks for the contribution, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: LFB Author's name: Laurie Field Location on CTAN: /fonts/greek/lfb Summary description: Greek font, written in METAFONT, with normal and bold variants. License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a Greek font I wrote in METAFONT several years ago after being inspired by the Bodoni typefaces I had seen in the old books in my school library. It is stylistically a little more exotic than the standard textbook greek fonts, particularly in glyphs like the lowercase rho and kappa. It aims for a rather calligraphic feel, but I also think it blends well with Computer Modern. I included a ligature scheme which automatically inserts the breathings required for ancient texts, making the input text more readable than in some schemes. Since it is now de rigueur to use outline fonts, I have largely abandoned this project, but I hope someone finds it useful. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/greek/lfb/ although you may get a better network connection by visiting a mirror of CTAN that is near to you; see http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/README.mirrors .

A corrected announcement is below. Sorry, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: sudoku Author's name: Paul Abraham Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/sudoku Summary description: Sudoku environment for creating sudoku grids License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sudoku is an environment for typesetting sudoku grids.

The rules are simple: every column can only contain the digits 1 to 9, every row can only contain the digits 1 to 9 and every 3x3 box can only contain the digits 1 to 9. More information, including help and example puzzles, can be found at http://www.sudoku.org.uk.

On Tue, 21 Jun 2005 Dirk Krause submitted an update to the fig2vect package. Location on CTAN: /support/fig2vect Summary description: Converter from *.fig to *.mp, *.eps, *.pdf, *.svg and *.tex License type: bsd Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bugfix: In former versions the PDF output driver silently aborted operation without error messages when problems with embedded PNG images occured. This is fixed, an error message was added. Modification: the scripts/comment.txt file was changed. Occurances of -- were replaced by - except in the comment delimiters. SVG versions of the Ghostscript fonts with the old version of comment.txt included were sometimes not processed by Squiggle on Windows, although I think the old version was syntactically correct too. The new version allows to create SVG fonts which avoid the problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the update. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf
