22 Dec '07

The material below has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your local mirror. Have a nice holidays, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ...................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List Author's name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: /info/symbols/comprehensive Summary description: Tables of symbols that are accessible from LaTeX License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List is an organized list of almost 5000 symbols that are available to LaTeX users. Some of these symbols are guaranteed to be available in every TeX distribution. Others require font files that come with some, but not all, TeX distributions. The rest require font files that must be downloaded explicitly from CTAN (http://www.ctan.org) and installed. The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbols List currently showcases symbols from 111 separate typefaces. Weighing in at 4948 symbols, this version of the symbol list documents over 1600 more symbols than the previous (September 2005) version. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/symbols/comprehensive .
