CTAN update: cfr-lm
by CTAN Announcements 27 May '10

27 May '10

This should soon be at your local mirror. Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College ...................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: cfr-lm Version number: updated version for Latin Modern 2.004 Author's name: Clea F. Rees Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/exptl/cfr-lm Summary description: Enhanced support for the Latin Modern fonts. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package supports a number of features of the Latin Modern fonts which are not easily accessible via the default (La)TeX support provided in the official distribution. In particular, the package supports the use of the various styles of digits available, small-caps and upright italic shapes, and alternative weights and widths. It also supports variable width typewriter and the “quotation” font. By default, the package uses proportional oldstyle digits and variable width typewriter but this can be changed by passing appropriate options to the package. The package also supports using e.g. different styles of digits within a document so it is possible to use proportional oldstyle digits by default, say, but tabular lining digits within a particular table. See the README for details. The package requires the official Latin Modern distribution, lmodern, including its (La)TeX support. The package relies on the availability of both the fonts themselves and the official font support files. The package also makes use of the nfssext-cfr package. Only the T1 and TS1 encodings are supported for text fonts. The set up of fonts for mathematics is identical to that provided by Latin Modern. This version has been updated for version 2.004 of the Latin Modern fonts. cfr-lm.sty has been significantly revised to offer more flexible and robust options. The production of the virtual fonts has been tweaked to improve accent placement by adjusting for some peculiarities in the lmodern distribution. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/exptl/cfr-lm . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/cfr-lm (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

Re: cam.ctan.org upload: TeX-GPC 2nd edition, 1st fix
by CTAN Announcements 27 May '10

27 May '10

the daemon tells me an upload, that i suggested, has arrived: > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: TeX-GPC 2nd edition, 1st fix > Author's name: Wolfgang Helbig > Location on CTAN: systems/unix/tex-gpc/ > Summary description: booby-trap defused > License type: other-free > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > replaced tangle.p needed for bootstrapping > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thanks for the upload. i have installed the new version, and updated the catalogue repository. (users should note that booby trap was my characterisation of a problem with tangle.p in the distribution, of which others had complained. mr. helbig generously agreed to re-release to clear up this one confusion.) > Users may view the package catalogue entry at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/tex-gpc.html > or they may browse the package directory at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/systems/unix/tex-gpc/ and the catalogue entry will be updated, in a small way, overnight tonight.
