CTAN update: fig2vect-1.0.3
by CTAN Announcements 24 Jun '05

24 Jun '05

On Tue, 21 Jun 2005 Dirk Krause submitted an update to the fig2vect package. Location on CTAN: /support/fig2vect Summary description: Converter from *.fig to *.mp, *.eps, *.pdf, *.svg and *.tex License type: bsd Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bugfix: In former versions the PDF output driver silently aborted operation without error messages when problems with embedded PNG images occured. This is fixed, an error message was added. Modification: the scripts/comment.txt file was changed. Occurances of -- were replaced by - except in the comment delimiters. SVG versions of the Ghostscript fonts with the old version of comment.txt included were sometimes not processed by Squiggle on Windows, although I think the old version was syntactically correct too. The new version allows to create SVG fonts which avoid the problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the update. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf
