Summary description: Aurical calligraphic fonts v1.5 License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is version 1.5 of aurical. This is a bugfix release. Some glyph names were not compliant to the Adobe Glyph Naming convention.

The fonts are: * Auriocus Kalligraphicus * Lukas Svatba * Jana Skrivana Each font features oldstyle digits and (machine-generated) boldface and slanted versions. Lukas Svatba is provided in a variant with a long s with the same input convention as in fraktur.sty by Matthias Mühlich. This material is subject to the LaTeX Project Public License.

With this in mind, > AroundTheBend.tex and AroundTheBend.pdf are under the LPPL. i have installed your rather nice looking bundle in the CTAN directory info/challenges/AroBend (and in parallel moved Mike's original stuff to info/challenges/aro-bend, though the old directory name for aro-bend remains available for the time being). i've also catalogued the new package. thanks for the upload. users may view the (meagre) catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/around-the-bend.html or browse the package directory at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/info/challenges/AroBend/ Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team
