Name of contribution: ionumbers
Author's name: Christian Schneider
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/ionumbers
Summary description: restyle numbers in math mode
License type: gpl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
`ionumbers' stands for `input/output numbers'.
This package restyles numbers in math mode. If a number in the input file
is written, e.g., as |$3,231.44$| as commonly used in English texts, this
package is able to restyle it to be output as `$3,231{,}44$' as commonly
used in German texts (and vice versa). This may be very useful, if you
have a large table and want to include it in texts with different output
conventions without the need of changing the table.
Furthermore this package can automatically group digits left to the
decimal separator (thousands) and right to the decimal separator
(thousandths) in triplets without the need of specifing commas
(English) or points (German) as separators. E.g., the input
|$1234.567890$| can be output as `$1,234.,567,890$'.
Finally, an |e| starts the exponent of the number. For example,
|$21e6$| may be output as `$26 imes10,^{6}$'.

(users should note that the book is only available in german.)
i have installed the files and updated the catalogue; thanks for the
update.
this replaces the earlier PSTricks4_de directory, though that remains
available on the archive (at least for the time being).

Name of contribution: cfr-lm
Author's name: Clea F. Rees
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/exptl/cfr-lm
Summary description: Enhanced support for GUST's Latin Modern fonts.
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package is experimental.
The package supports a number of features of the Latin Modern fonts
which are not easily accessible via the default (La)TeX support provided
in the official distribution. In particular, the package supports the use
of the various styles of digits available, small-caps and upright italic
shapes, and alternative weights and widths. It also supports variable
width typewriter and the quotation font.
By default, the package uses proportional oldstyle digits and variable
width typewriter but this can be changed by passing appropriate options
to the package. The package also supports using e.g. different styles of
digits within a document so it is possible to use proportional oldstyle
digits by default, say, but tabular lining digits within a particular
table. See the README for details.
The package requires the official Latin Modern distribution, including
ts (La)TeX support. The package relies on the availability of both the
fonts themselves and the official font support files.
Only the T1 and TS1 encodings are supported for text fonts. The set up
of fonts for mathematics is identical to that provided by Latin Modern.
