New CTAN package: esstix
by CTAN Announcements 06 May '11

06 May '11

On Thu, 5 May 2011 Michael Sharpe submitted the estix package. A submission was uploaded to /home/ftp/incoming/upload-20110504-234125.001/ on dante.ctan.org. Summary description: PostScript versions of the ESSTIX fonts, with virtual fonts a LaTeX support files for use as math alphabets. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- These are the original ESSTIX fonts in PostScript format. They seem to have been a precursor to the STIX project and were donated by Elsevier to that project. The accompanying virtual fonts with customized metrics and LaTeX support files allow their use as calligraphic, fraktur and double-struck (blackboard bold) in math mode. The support files are all LPPL but the fonts themselves are copyrighted by Elsevier, though donated to the STIX project. It is unclear to me if this means they should now be considered as covered by the same SIL Font license under which the STIX fonts were released. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts/esstix .

On Thu, 5 May 2011 Philipp Stephani submitted the lualatex-math package. Summary description: Fixes for a few mathematics-related LuaLaTeX issues License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package patches a few commands of the LaTeX 2ε kernel and the amsmath and mathtools packages to be more compatible with the LuaTeX engine. It is only meaningful for LuaLaTeX documents containing mathematical formulas, and does not exhibit any new functionality. The fixes are mostly moved from the unicode-math package to this package since they are not directly related to Unicode mathematics typesetting. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/luatex/latex/lualatex-math . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/lualatex-math (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 .
