Josef Kleber submitted an update to the installfont package. Version number: v1.7 License type: lppl Summary description: A bash script for installing a LaTeX font family Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- With this script (installfont for MiKTeX; installfont-tl for TeXLive), you can install a LaTeX font family (Postscript Type1, Truetype, Opentype). It supports font series from light to ultra bold + (faked) small caps + faked slanted, but no expert fonts. The script will rename the fonts automatically (optional) or will otherwise expect *.afm files and the font files (in Postscript Type1 format!) named in the Karl Berry scheme (e.g. 5nar8a.pfb). After running the script, you should have a working font installation in your local TeX tree. For this month's (07/2013) free font on www.freefont.de, simply run installfont-tl -t otf -f 6sf -n 'Softmaker Stafford Serial' -c Staffort -P SMFF@Ssf -p stafford -m stafford -O -d 2013/07/15 -v v1.0 -s softmakerfreefont/Stafford to create and install support files for the usage of Softmaker Stafford Serial from light to ultra bold font series.

Steve B. Segletes submitted an update to the stackengine package. Version number: 2.0 License type: lppl Summary description: Highly customized stacking of objects, insets, baseline changes, etc. Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- While several improvements have been added to stackengine V2.0, the most important of them requires a small syntax change that will affect prior code, when specifying the default stackgaps. This change was required to correct the deficiency that scalable stackgaps did not scale when the fontsize was changed. V2.0 provides an [oldsyntax] package option to maintain backward compatibility, if desired. See documentation for details. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/stackengine .

Clemens Niederberger submitted an update to the chemmacros package. Version number: 4.0 License type: lppl Summary description: macros and commands for chemists Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- changes with v4.0: - the packages `chemformula' and `ghsystem' do not load `chemmacros' any more which means they can be used independently. - the option `bpchem' has been dropped. - the commands mch and pch now match `chemformula's charges. - the option `method' has been dropped. - the option `append' has deprecated. - the option `greek' has been extended to support other uppercase greek letters, for example those provided by `kpfonts'. 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 .
