CTAN Upload: Font Installation Guide 2.0
by Reinhard Zierke 23 Apr '04

23 Apr '04

----- Forwarded message from Philipp Lehman <plehman(a)gmx.net> ----- I've uploaded the file 'fontinstallationguide.tar.gz' to the incoming directory on ftp.dante.de. This tarball includes an update to a file currently installed as: info/Type1fonts/fontinstallationguide.pdf plus some new files which were not included in any of the previous releases. As of this release, the guide will be accompanied by additional resources. Therefore I would like to request a minor path change. If possible, please add the directory: info/Type1fonts/fontinstallationguide/ and extract the tarball to the newly created directory. (...) ABOUT ----- The Font installation guide discusses the most common scenarios you are likely to encounter when installing Type 1 Postscript fonts. While the individual tools employed in the installation process are documented well, the actual difficulty most users are facing when trying to install new fonts is understanding how to put all the pieces together. This is what this guide is about. CHANGES ------- * Complete revision of the guide for fontinst 1.9 * All examples discussed in the guide now included as separate files * Monolithic Latex source now included as well * Added README file ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload. I installed it as suggested in the directory CTAN:info/Type1fonts/fontinstallationguide/ Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

A new one has been installed to tug.ctan.org. It should appear at your favorite mirror very soon, if indeed it is not already there. Thanks, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: a2ping Author's name: Szabó Péter Location on CTAN: graphics/a2ping Summary description: advanced PS, PDF, EPS converter License type: gpl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- a2ping is a UNIX command line utility written in Perl that converts many raster image and vector graphics formats to EPS or PDF and other page description formats. Accepted input file formats are: PS (PostScript), EPS, PDF, PNG, JPEG, TIFF, PNM, BMP, GIF, LBM, XPM, PCX, TGA. Accepted output formats are: EPS, PCL5, PDF, PDF1, PBM, PGM, PPM, PS, markedEPS, markedPS, PNG, XWD, BMP, TIFF, JPEG, GIF, XPM. a2ping delegates the low-level work to Ghostscript (GS), pdftops and sam2p. a2ping fixes many glitches during the EPS to EPS conversion, so its output is often more compatible and better embeddable than its input. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/a2ping although you may get a better network connection by visiting a mirror of CTAN that is near to you; see http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/README.mirrors

CTAN submission -- Version 2.20 of beamer
by Reinhard Zierke 20 Apr '04

20 Apr '04

----- Forwarded message from Till Tantau ----- Dear CTAN Team, I have put version 2.20 of beamer on fpt://ftp.dante.de/incoming/latex-beamer-2.20.tar.gz. Change log: Version 2.20 Added: - Added style Separator in LyX. - Added multimedia.sty for movie and sound inclusion. - Added evil allowframebreaks option to frames for automatic frame breaking. - Added evil shrink option for automatic frame text shrinking. - Added squeeze option to frames for squeezing more on a frame. - Added framesubtitle command. - Added subtitle command. - Added subject command. - Added option usepdftitle=false to suppress automatic generation of author and title entries in pdf document info. - Added framezoom command. - Added new version of beamer.el, due to Thomas Baumann. Changes: - FoilTeX emulation will now do automatic page breaking. - Empty lines in Standard lyx style will no longer be kept, use an empty Separator line instead. - Changed the qed symbol to an open rectangle. - The way frame titles are typeset is completely different now, internally. Under normal circumstance you should not notice any differences, but if you do wicked things with the frame titles, problems might arise. Bugfixes: - Fixed definition of overlayarea to give better spacing. - Fixed problem with persisting background color and dvips. - Fixed zillions of typos in the user's guide spotted by Xavier Noria and Uwe Stoer. - Fixed unrobust definition of \. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. As usual, I have replaced the previos version in CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/beamer with the new one. Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

----- Forwarded message from ctan-upload ----- Name of contribution: AuriocusKallgraphicus (aurical) Name and email: Christian Gollwitzer Suggested location on CTAN: fonts/aurical Summary description: Calligraphic font for LaTeX in T1-encoding License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Aurical is the short name for the font AuriocusKalligraphicus. It implements a calligraphic font resembling my handwriting in Type1-Format, T1/Cork encoding for use with LaTeX. Some glyphs are still missing, and there is not yet exhaustive kerning information. Apart from that, the font may be useful for invitations or informal texts, as it looks calligraphic, nevertheless is quite readable. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

New software for mailing list ctan-ann
by Rainer Schöpf 18 Apr '04

18 Apr '04

Dear CTAN-ANN list member, during the next week the ctan-ann mailing list will be changed to use a new mailing list software, namely GNU Mailman. Today you will receive an automatically generated message explaining how to confirm your subscription to this new incarnation of the ctan-ann mailing list. Until next weekend, messages will still be sent via the old (majordomo) software. Afterwards, they will be sent using the new software. This means: if you do not confirm your subscription until next weekend, you will not see new messages after that time. However, these messages will be archived can be accessed using the web interface. Thank you for your cooperation Rainer Schöpf
