License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A new raw macro file `twocolpg.sty' provides macros for the web page style with a navigation column at the left of a main content column with spanning header and footer - towards a content management system for TeX addicts? Templates (`demo') are provided, see Section `Examples' in `blog.pdf'. `blog.sty' v0.5 has many more macros than v0.41, mainly for symbols. Accented letters are near to complete, Greek letters are complete. Documentation has been improved at some places. I realized that ` ' allows line breaks and therefore redefined hinspace and ,, but this may be difficult with certain browsers. `texlinks.sty' v0.4 adds HTTPS, references to CTAN announcements, and references to the LaTeX Wikibook. Wikipedia macros and parts of documentation have been reworked. For details, always see the end of the .sty files. Throughout, the acro macro (known from TUGboat macros) has been applied to the documentations. Moreover, the sample file `atari.fdf' for a little encoding conversion has moved to the nicetext bundle, and the macro it defines now is TextCodes instead of AtariCodes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/morehype .

On Sun, 28 Aug 2011 Boris Veytsman submitted the rviewport package. Summary description: Relative Viewport for Graphics Inclusion License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Package graphicx provides a useful keyword viewport which allows to show just a part of an image.

For example, one may want to print a large image on a spread, putting a half on a verso page, and another half on the next recto page. For this one would need a viewport occupying exactly one half of the file's bounding box, whatever the actual width of the image may be. This package adds a new keyword rviewport to the graphicx package specifiying Relative Viewport for graphics inclusion: a window defined by the given fractions of the natural width and height of the image. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/rviewport .

On Mon, 15 Aug 2011 Mojca Miklavec submitted an update to the marvosym package. Summary description: Martin Vogel's Symbols (marvosym) font License type: other-free Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Martin Vogel's Symbol (marvosym) font contains the Euro currency symbol as defined by the European commission, and also in shapes to blend with typefaces Times, Helvetica and Courier; symbols for structural engineering; symbols for steel cross-sections; astronomy signs (sun, moon, planets); the 12 signs of the zodiac; scissor symbols; CE sign and others. The package contains both original TrueType font as well as derived Type 1 and support files for TeX (LaTeX). Changes in this version: - Fixed licence of TeX support files. Original font is licenced under OFL, which prohibits GPL licence. Reorganized documentation, added OFL licence texts and this FONTLOG.txt which is sadly missing in original font. Thanks to Karl Berry for many useful suggestions and impromevents. - Added original TTF font. - Updated to font version 3.10 (2008-09-01). - Recreated Type 1 font files with some incompatible changes in font metrics, some glyphs removed and some newly introduced ones. Created TDS directory structure and made LaTeX macros 100 % compatible with original names. Old LaTeX names were kept as synonyms. - AFM file now contains proper glyph names instead of names of ASCII characters on those slots. - Characters `A' and `p' (positions 0xF0 and 0xF1) are no longer present, as they are not in the original font. - Some high school logos were removed or replaced. Changes on CTAN: - moved from fonts/psfonts/marvosym to fonts/marvosym - OzTeX and VTeX support files removed ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts/marvosym . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/marvosym (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

On Tue, 9 Aug 2011 Pavel Farar submitted the dejavu package. Summary description: LaTeX support for the fonts DejaVu License type: other-free ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package contains LaTeX support for the fonts DejaVu. They are derived from the Vera fonts and contain more characters and styles. The fonts are included in the original TrueType format and converted Type 1 format. The (currently) supported encodings are: OT1, T1, IL2, TS1, T2* and X2. The package (currently) supports neither Greek nor math. More encodings and/or features will come later. The fonts are licensed under the Vera and Arev licenses, DejaVu changes are in the public domain. All the support files are released under the LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.3 of this license or (at your option) any later version. The files released under the LaTeX Project Public License are listed in manifest.txt. The main reason why I created this package is that I am not satisfied with the Arev and Bera packages for the Czech language, but some problems are not just Czech-related. Moreover, you get more characters and styles. Documentation: README, dejavu.pdf (package documentation), dejavu-sample.pdf (font samples) Related packages: arev, bera ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts/dejavu .

German CTAN Server down until 10 August, 07:00 UTC
by CTAN Announcements 09 Aug '11

09 Aug '11

Hello, In the next few hours, our hosting provider does maintenance work on infrastructure. During that time, power will be turned off. For that reason, I will shut down comedy.dante.de, a.k.a. dante.ctan.org, the German CTAN server in short time. Controlled shut down is much better than simply plugging the cord... ;-) The server will be back up in roughly 9 hours, at 07:00 UTC. (That's 9am Central European Summer Time, in case you're wondering. :-) During that time, CTAN mailing lists will not be reachable, mirrors can't rsync, no downloads or uploads can happen. I hope that this doesn't cause any inconvenience.
