CTAN submission -- MonTeXIVu, MonTeX.Type1, ui-24.def and ctib
by Reinhard Zierke 02 Jul '02

02 Jul '02

----- Forwarded message from Oliver Corff ----- Today, you'll find in the /incoming directory of ftp.dante.de the following files: 1. ctib.tar.gz The latest version of ctib, 0.6, has a greatly enhanced repertoire of glyphs and more than a dozen new ligatures (Tibetan stacks), and a lot of new punctuation symbols. More or less the whole Unicode range of symbols is covered, too. The work is based on Sam Sirlin's Tibetan fonts. Please note that upgrading to ctib 0.6 requires recompilation of old documents as the font layout has changed. ctib.tar.gz goes into CTAN:language/tibetan/ctib and replaces all previous files completely. 2. montexivu.tar.gz This latest version of MonTeX features many more Latin input encodings (all those a standard installation offers), an overhauled documentation, and, for the first time, experimental Unicode support for utf8-encoded Mongolian. Please note that upgrading to MonTeX IVu requires the presence of the utf8 input encoding system and there the file uni-24.def, containing the Mongolian plane (U+1800) of Unicode. montexivu.tar.gz goes into CTAN:language/mongolian/montex. 3. montex.type1 A collection of Type1 outline files for the Mongolian scripts of MonTeX. These allow the pleasant display of Mongolian and Manju in PostScript and PDF documents. These fonts were contributed by Apostolos Syropoulos. They should be placed into CTAN:language/mongolian/montex/contrib. A detailed README file with instructions will follow later. 4. uni-24.def The definition for plane U+1800 of Unicode, containing Traditional Mongolian. This file should go into the ../data directory of the ucs/utf8 input encoding package (I happen to ignore where this is located, unfortunately...) ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the uploads. I installed the new versions of ctib and montex in CTAN:/tex-archive/language/tibetan/ctib CTAN:/tex-archive/language/mongolian/montex as suggested. And I installed the Unicode definition file in CTAN:/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/unicode/data/uni-24.def (pending the inclusion of this file in Dominique Unruh's sources) Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

CTAN Submission -- geometry 3.0
by Reinhard Zierke 02 Jul '02

02 Jul '02

----- Forwarded message from Hideo Umeki ----- I am pleased to announce version 3.0 of geometry package. Package: Geometry v3.0 (2002/06/30) Author: Hideo UMEKI (hideo.umeki(a)toshiba.co.jp) Licence: Distributed under the terms of LPPL Abstract: The package provides a flexible and complete user interface to page dimensions. Geometry becomes even more flexible and powerful with the release of version 3.0. This new release contains major changes and enhancements in user interface, calculation schemes and the default settings of the page dimensions. o New default layout. The automatic centering is no longer default layout. Instead centering, the idea of margin ratio and common values for default settings are introduced. o Option 'twosideshift' is obsoleted. o A complete set of options 'ignore*' and 'include*' for head, foot and marginpar. And 'ignoreall' is now set by default. o New options: '{h,v}marginratio', 'ignore*', 'include*', 'lines', 'heightrounded', 'screen', 'asymmetric', 'showframe' and etc. See the manual for the detail. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the submission. I installed it replacing the old version in CTAN:/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/geometry/ Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

Sebastian Rahtz sent me an update for macros/xmltex (which i've installed), and asked me to delete macros/passivetex (which i've done). he writes: > This release of xmltex is to bring it into line > with the slightly enhanced version that has been > distributed with PassiveTeX for the last year.
