CTAN package upgrade: dvipng
by CTAN Announcements 03 Apr '06

03 Apr '06

A package has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon make its way to your favorite mirror. Thanks Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: dvipng Author's name: Jan-Åke Larsson Location on CTAN: /dviware/dvipng Summary description: A fast DVI to PNG/GIF converter. License type: gpl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This program makes PNG graphics from DVI files as obtained from TeX and its relatives. The 1.8 release adds the possibility to include bitmapped images (PNG, JPEG, and GIF), and changes PostScript inclusion so that the image is not cropped to the boundingbox (unless requested) and has a transparent background. From now on, for performance reasons, the output image will be truecolor if an image is included. The output quality is substantially improved when using the Freetype font library. Freetype hinting has previously been disabled in dvipng (because of substandard output from the Computer Modern font), but from the 1.8 release onwards, hinting will be enabled in a mode that prefers shape over contrast (which works well with the Computer Modern font). In short, the output quality is visibly better when Freetype is available than when it isn't. The release also fixes a few bugs and enhances the internal color cache for better performance. Report any bugs you find, see README for instructions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/dviware/dvipng .
