New on CTAN: baskervaldadf

i'm finally close to catching up with the daemon. this time he's written: > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: baskervaldadf > Author's name: Clea F. Rees > Location on CTAN: fonts/baskervaldadf/ > Summary description: Baskervald ADF fonts collection in ps type 1 > format with TeX/LaTeX support. > License type: other-free > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Baskervald ADF is a serif family with lining figures designed as a > substitute for Baskerville. The family currently includes upright and > italic or oblique shapes in each of regular, bold and heavy > weights. All fonts include the slashed zero and additional > non-standard ligatures. The support package renames them according to > the Karl Berry fontname scheme and defines two families. One of these > primarily provides access to the standard or default characters > while the other supports additional ligatures. The included package > files provide access to these features in LaTeX as explained in the > baskervaldadf.pdf. thanks for the upload: i have installed the new files, and created an entry in the catalogue repository for the package. > Users may view the package catalogue entry at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/baskervaldadf.html > or they may browse the package directory at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/fonts/baskervaldadf/ the catalogue entry won't appear on the web until some time tonight.

CTAN update: cfr-lm
by CTAN Announcements 14 Jul '10

14 Jul '10

oh dear, that poor old daemon: > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: cfr-lm > Author's name: Clea F. Rees > Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/cfr-lm > Summary description: Enhanced support for the Latin Modern fonts. > License type: lppl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > This is a very minor update to ensure that encoding files are > unique. The map file and manifest.txt are changed accordingly. > > 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. Version 2.004 of the Latin Modern fonts is supported. > > 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, 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. thanks for the upload; i have installed the files (and done a bit of touching-up work on the catalogue repository entry ... which wasn't strictly necessary). > Users may view the package catalogue entry at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/cfr-lm.html > or they may browse the package directory at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/cfr-lm/ the catalogue entry on the web will change overnight. nothing significant, just editorial work on my previous workding.
