CTAN Update: adjustbox
by CTAN Announcements 13 Aug '11

13 Aug '11

On Sat, 13 Aug 2011 Martin Scharrer submitted an update to the adjustbox package. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This major update provides the following new features: * Additional provided box macros: lapbox, marginbox, minsizebox, maxsizebox and phantombox. * Additional key options for adjustbox which can be exported for includegraphics as well. * Now uses the authors other package 'collectbox' which is based on the original used code. * The trimming operation is now done using only TeX code. * The clipping operation is now implemented using native pdftex commands. Other output drivers will still use PGF as back-end. * Now uses e-TeX glueexpr by default to parse all length arguments, but can be configured to use the 'calc' package or the pgfsetlength macro of PGF. Older documents might require now the 'pgfmath' option to be used if they included pgfmath expressions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/adjustbox . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/adjustbox (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 .

New CTAN package: dejavu
by CTAN Announcements 12 Aug '11

12 Aug '11

On Tue, 9 Aug 2011 Pavel Farar submitted the dejavu package. Summary description: LaTeX support for the fonts DejaVu License type: other-free ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package contains LaTeX support for the fonts DejaVu. They are derived from the Vera fonts and contain more characters and styles. The fonts are included in the original TrueType format and converted Type 1 format. The (currently) supported encodings are: OT1, T1, IL2, TS1, T2* and X2. The package (currently) supports neither Greek nor math. More encodings and/or features will come later. The fonts are licensed under the Vera and Arev licenses, DejaVu changes are in the public domain. All the support files are released under the LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.3 of this license or (at your option) any later version. The files released under the LaTeX Project Public License are listed in manifest.txt. The main reason why I created this package is that I am not satisfied with the Arev and Bera packages for the Czech language, but some problems are not just Czech-related. Moreover, you get more characters and styles. Documentation: README, dejavu.pdf (package documentation), dejavu-sample.pdf (font samples) Related packages: arev, bera ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts/dejavu . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/dejavu (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 .
