On Mon, 15 Feb 2010 Josef Kleber submitted an update to the
installfont
package.
Location on CTAN: /support/installfont
Summary description: A bash script for installing a Postscript Type1 font family.
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
With this script you can install a Postscript Type1 font family (at least the four
basic cuts + (faked) small caps + faked slanted, but no expert fonts) for using
it with LaTeX (MiKTeX). The script will rename the fonts automatically (optinal)
or will otherwise expect the *.pfb and *.afm files named in the Karl Berry scheme
(e.g. 5bbr8a.pfb). Just adapt the script variables to your fonts and directories.
After running it, you should have a working font installation in your local TeX tree.
License: LPPL
New in v1.2:
- added the options scaled and leading to the created style file to scale the font
for better matching with other fonts and to increase the leading between lines

On Mon, 15 Feb 2010 Dominik Wassenhoven submitted an update to the
biblatex-dw
package, a small collection of styles for the biblatex package. It was designed
for citations in the humanities and offers some features that are not provided
by the standard biblatex styles. Biblatex-dw is dependent on biblatex (at least
version 0.8) and cannot be used without it.
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw/
Summary description: Humanities styles for biblatex
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.2o
======================================================
Note that this version is NOT COMPATIBLE WITH BIBLATEX 0.9!
======================================================
- BUGFIX: When using the options 'xref=true' and
'useeditor=false', the editor was not printed in the
bibliography. This is now fixed. Also, some bugs
regarding the xref functionality in citations could be
fixed.
- BUGFIX: The editors in @incollection, @inproceedings and
@inreference entries were printed using the name format
'sortname' ('Lastname, Firstname') where it should have
been the name format 'byeditor' ('Firstname Lastname').
This is now fixed.
- New option 'omiteditor': If one uses 'useeditor=false'
and 'omiteditor=true', the editor in citations will be
omitted. The same applies to the xref functionality in
the bibliography. With 'useeditor=true', this option has
no effect. The standard for this option is 'false'.
- The limitation regarding the combination of 'xref=true',
'edbyidem=true' and 'useeditor=false' is no longer valid.
That means, it is not necessary to have the editor in the
child entry as well in order to get an 'idem' string.
- Extended the documentation.
