Josef Kleber submitted an update to the installfont package. Version number: v1.7 License type: lppl Summary description: A bash script for installing a LaTeX font family Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- With this script (installfont for MiKTeX; installfont-tl for TeXLive), you can install a LaTeX font family (Postscript Type1, Truetype, Opentype).

The script will rename the fonts automatically (optional) or will otherwise expect *.afm files and the font files (in Postscript Type1 format!) named in the Karl Berry scheme (e.g. 5nar8a.pfb). After running the script, you should have a working font installation in your local TeX tree. For this month's (07/2013) free font on www.freefont.de, simply run installfont-tl -t otf -f 6sf -n 'Softmaker Stafford Serial' -c Staffort -P SMFF@Ssf -p stafford -m stafford -O -d 2013/07/15 -v v1.0 -s softmakerfreefont/Stafford to create and install support files for the usage of Softmaker Stafford Serial from light to ultra bold font series.

CTAN Update: stackengine
by CTAN Announcements 12 Jul '13

12 Jul '13

Steve B. Segletes submitted an update to the stackengine package. Version number: 2.0 License type: lppl Summary description: Highly customized stacking of objects, insets, baseline changes, etc. Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- While several improvements have been added to stackengine V2.0, the most important of them requires a small syntax change that will affect prior code, when specifying the default stackgaps. This change was required to correct the deficiency that scalable stackgaps did not scale when the fontsize was changed. V2.0 provides an [oldsyntax] package option to maintain backward compatibility, if desired. See documentation for details. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/stackengine .
