On Thu, 15 Sep 2011 Pavel Farar submitted an update to the
dejavu
package.
Summary description: LaTeX support for the fonts DejaVu
License type: other-free
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package contains LaTeX support for the fonts DejaVu.
Changes:
- Added extra kerning pairs between the Greek accents and the
capital Greek letters for the serif and sans serif
families (the monospaced family left unchanged). The
kerning values are generated from the fonts (sfd files)
and the combination accent + letter should give the
same relative position of accent and letter as in the
precomposed accented capital Greek letters. Most kerning
values are big negative, but there are also several
small positive values.
- Small changes in the LGR encoding: uni1FBD replaced by uni1FBF
and grave replaced by uni1FEF. They have exactly the same
glyph, but are more consistent with the Greek alphabet.
These should be user invisible changes.

License type: lppl

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Release 0.44:
`niceverb.sty' v0.44 copes with design issue: on AddQuotes,
`...' indeed surrounds inline TeX code
with single quotation marks automatically
(besides meta-verbatim)
`fddial0g.sty' v0.2 all my ideas so far for dialogue programming
tools carried out (handling variables,
displaying their values on a screen,
Spaces{15} [e.g.] counts when expanding
w/o e-TeX); not super-comfortable, but fine
`fifinddo.sty' v0.43 new command useful in programming dialogues
dialogues/templates adjusted
`u8atablg.fdf' fifinddo rules for replacing UTF-8 chars
with TeX commands (and some extended ASCII)
(I use all of this for converting my Xpad/Tomboy notes into input
for my great Atari editor)
`mdoccheat.pdf' was missing in previous release, back again
