CTAN package update: recycle
by CTAN announcements (Jim Hefferon, tug.ctan.org) 26 Jun '09

26 Jun '09

The package below has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your local mirror. Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ....................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: recycle Author's name: Ian Green, Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: /fonts/recycle Summary description: A font providing the recyclable logo License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- As Ian Green's recycle.readme states, recycle.mf is awful code and doesn't even put the logo in a box (properly). In practical terms, this means that recycle.mf produces a number of Metafont Inconsistent equation errors, which break many of the scripts that process Metafont fonts. Fortunately, running Metafont manually and forcing it to ignore errors does seem to produce valid output. To ease the pain of using the recycling symbol in (La)TeX documents and to enable the recycling symbol to look good at arbitrary scale I hereby provide recycle.pfb, a PostScript Type 1 version of recycle.mf. recycle.pfb was produced by running recycle.mf through mf2pt1 and tweaking the resulting Type 1 font in FontForge to relocate a few control points to integral coordinates and to remove a self-intersecting path. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/recycle . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/recycle (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 .

CTAN Update: hyph-utf8
by CTAN Announcements 26 Jun '09

26 Jun '09

On Fri, 26 Jun 2009, Mojca Miklavec and Arthur Reutenauer submitted an update to the hyph-utf8 package. Modern native UTF-8 engines such as XeTeX and LuaTeX need hyphenation patterns in UTF-8 format, whereas older systems require hyphenation patterns in the 8-bit encoding of the font in use (such encodings are codified in the LaTeX scheme with names like OT1, T2A, TS1, OML, LY1, etc). The present package offers a collection of conversions of existing patterns to UTF-8 format, together with converters for use with 8-bit fonts in older systems. Since hyphenation patterns for TeX are only read at iniTeX time, it is hoped that the UTF-8 patterns, with their converters, will completely supplant the older patterns. Location on CTAN: /language/hyph-utf8/ Summary description: UTF-8 hyphenation patterns License type: other-free Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Synchronize changes from dehyph-exptl v0.20: - improvements in hyph-de-1901.tex, hyph-de-1996.tex - added Swiss-German patterns with traditional ortography ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/language/hyph-utf8/ .

CTAN Update: dehyph-exptl
by CTAN Announcements 26 Jun '09

26 Jun '09

On Wed, 24 Jun 2009, Stephan Hennig submitted an update to the dehyph-exptl package. Location on CTAN: /language/hyphenation/dehyph-exptl Summary description: experimental hyphenation patterns for the German language License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package provides experimental hyphenation patterns for the German language, covering traditional and reformed orthography for several varieties of Standard German. The patterns can be used with packages Babel and hyphsubst from the Oberdiek bundle. Dieses Paket enthaelt experimentelle Trennmuster fuer die deutsche Sprache. Die Trennmuster decken das in Deutschland, Oesterreich und der Schweiz gebraeuchliche Standarddeutsch in der traditionellen und reformierten Rechtschreibung ab und koennen mit den Paketen Babel und hyphsubst aus dem Oberdiek-Buendel verwendet werden. 2009-06-24: v0.20 ----------- Aenderungen: * allgemein: ** Die Trennung von Zahlwoertern wurde verbessert. ** Die roemischen Zahlen bis MMD (2500) werden nicht getrennt. ** Viele zusaetzliche irrefuehrende Trennungen werden vermieden. ** Viele Fehler in der Wortdatenbank wurden korrigiert. ** Die Dokumentation wurde erweitert. * dehypht-x (traditionelle Rechtschreibung, Deutschland, Oesterreich): Der Ersatz ss fuer ß wird beruecksichtigt und wie bei der Schreibung mit ß getrennt. Das Babelkuerzel S muss damit in Versalwoertern nur noch in Ausnahmefaellen verwendet werden (siehe auch Regel T2 in der Paketdokumentation). * dehyphts-x (traditionelle Rechtschreibung, Schweiz): Es werden neue Trennmuster fuer die traditionelle Rechtschreibung des Schweizer Standarddeutschs angeboten. Die Trennmuster unterscheiden sich von denen fuer die traditionelle Rechtschreibung des Standarddeutschs Deutschlands und Oesterreichs (dehypht-x) in der Trennung von ss als Ersatz fuer ß. Babelunterstuetzung fuer diese Trennmuster fehlt bisher jedoch.

stealth update of packages
by Robin Fairbairns 24 Jun '09

24 Jun '09

1. i recently realised that our mirror of macros/plain/base wasn't delivering the correct stuff (don's latest updates went into systems/knuth/dist/lib and not to the canonical place on ctan for the files). i've therefore corrected that; macros/plain/base now contains don's latest release. see http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/plain.html 2. version 3.0 of the amsfonts bundle has been released. this includes revised versions of the ams fonts, and an update of the long- established y&y and blue sky research versions of the computer modern fonts (for which the ams holds the copyright). note that rather little of the amsfonts documentation has been updated for the new version; the ams are working on that. see http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/amsfonts.html that's quite enough excitement for one day. now i'll get back to _real_ work.
