After running the script, you should have a working font installation in your local TeX tree.

Clemens Niederberger submitted an update to the chemmacros package.

This is handled internally by the new package in the family: `chemgreek'. This package is not really a package for usage at a user-level but could in principle be used to extend the `greek' option. - language support is now done with the help of the `translations' package from the `exsheets' bundle. This means that with v4.0 the document language is recognized automatically. - the status of the commands Lfi and Dfi has been changed from /deprecated/ to /dropped/. - various other changes like bug fixes and improvements on the typographical appearance of `chemformula's inline formulae with ch{}. - every package in the bundle got its own documentation file but the German and Italian version of the manuals are no longer provided ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/chemmacros/ .

CTAN Update: selnolig
by CTAN Announcements 30 May '13

30 May '13

Mico Loretan submitted an update to the selnolig package. Summary description: Selective suppression of typographic ligatures for English and German texts License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The selnolig package suppresses typographic ligatures selectively, i.e., based on predefined search patterns. The search patterns focus on ligatures deemed inappropriate because they span morpheme boundaries. For example, the word opt{shelfful}, which is mentioned in the TeXbook as a word for which the ff ligature might be inappropriate, is automatically typeset as shelf/ful rather than as shel{ff}ul. For English and German language documents, the selnolig package provides extensive rules for the selective suppression of so-called common ligatures. These comprise the ff, fi, fl, ffi, and~ffl ligatures as well as the ft and~fft ligatures. Other f-ligatures, such as fb, fh, fj and fk, are suppressed globally, while making exceptions for names and words of non-English/German origin, such as Kafka and fjord. For English language documents, the package further provides ligature suppression macros for a number of so-called discretionary or rare ligatures such as ct, st, and sp. The selnolig package requires use of the LuaLaTeX format provided by a recent TeX distribution such as TeXLive2012 or 2013 and MiKTeX2.9. The latest update, to version 0.218, entails mainly improvements to the package's user guide. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/luatex/latex/selnolig .
