CTAN Update: pkfix-helper
by CTAN Announcements 13 Jun '11

13 Jun '11

On Sun, 12 Jun 2011 Scott Pakin submitted an update to the pkfix-helper package. Summary description: Make older PostScript files accessible to pkfix. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- pkfix is a useful utility for replacing resolution-dependent bitmapped fonts in a dvips-produced PostScript file with the corresponding resolution-independent vector fonts. Unfortunately, pkfix needs to parse certain PostScript comments that appear only in files produced by dvips versions later than 5.58 (ca. 1996); it fails to work on PostScript files produced by older versions of dvips. pkfix-helper is a program that attempts to insert newer-dvips comments into an older-dvips PostScript file, thereby making the file suitable for processing by pkfix. pkfix-helper can sometimes process documents fully autonomously but does require the user to verify and, if needed, correct its decisions. Thanks to M. S. Dousti's help testing pkfix-helper, version 1.4 of pkfix-helper accepts a much wider set of PostScript files than its predecessors. If a previous version of pkfix-helper failed to convert some PostScript file you fed it, please try again with this new version of pkfix-helper. In addition to increased robustness, pkfix-helper extends its --force option to allow wildcards for both the font name and font scale. For example, if you know that bitmapped font Fj corresponds to cmsy but you don't know the font size or scale, you can specify --force=Fj=cmsy*@* to let pkfix-helper determine likely values. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/pkfix-helper . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/pkfix-helper (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 .

CTAN Update: skb

05 Jun '11

On Fri, 3 Jun 2011 Sven van der Meer submitted an update to the skb package. Summary description: Create and maintain a repository for long-living documents License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package provides macros that help to build a document repository for long living documents. It focuses on structure and re-use of text, code, figures etc. The basic concept is to first separate structure from content (i.e. text about a topic from the structure it is presented by) and then separating the content from the actual published document, thus enabling easy re-use of text blocks in different publications (i.e. text about a protocol in a short article about this protocol as well as in a book about many protocols); all without constantly copying or changing text. As a side effect, using the document classes provided, it hides a lot of LaTeX from someone who just wants to write articles and books. Updates in v0.52: added moderncv to the supported classes, changed package structure to be compliant with CTAN requirements and added information in the README file. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/skb/ .

CTAn Update: pdfcomment
by CTAN Announcements 24 May '11

24 May '11

On Mon, 23 May 2011 Josef Kleber submitted an update to the pdfcomment package. Summary description: A user-friendly interface to PDF annotations License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For a long time pdflatex has offered the command pdfannot for inserting arbitrary PDF annotations. However, the command is presented in a form where additional knowledge of the definition of the PDF format is indispensable. This package is an answer to the – occasional – questions in newsgroups, about how one could use the comment function of Adobe Reader. At least for the writer of LaTeX code, the package offers a convenient and user-friendly means of using pdfannot to provide comments in PDF files. Since version v1.1, pdfcomment.sty also supports: LaTeX -> dvips -> ps2pdf, LaTeX -> dvipdfmx and XeLaTeX. Unfortunately, support of PDF annotations by PDF viewers is sparse to nonexistent. The reference viewer for the development of this package is Adobe Reader. License: LPPL Changes in v2.2: - added pdftooltip which allows annotating objects with tooltips - allow setting of disable globally pdfcommentsetup{disable} + pdfcomment[disable=false]{comment} => will enable this single PDF annotation feature request by: Zvi Gilboa - added option printSOfinal printSOfinal=false will not typeset the markup text in a StrikeOut annotation if the option final or disable is used! feature request by: Marcel Dausend - revised documentation added information about escape commands in pdfstringdef used for conversion of comments to PDFDocEncoding/PDFUnicode feature request by: Max Funk ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment .

Summary description: replacing @ifnextchar so `\ [' prints `[' in new line etc. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- `ifnextok' deals with the behavior of LaTeX's internal `@ifnextchar' to skip blank spaces.

On Tue, 10 May 2011 Pavel Farar submitted the paratype package, which replaces the packages ptsans and ptserif License type: other-free Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package contains LaTeX support for the fonts PT Sans and PT Serif developed by ParaType for the project Public Types of Russian Federation, and released under an open user license. The fonts are included in the original TrueType format and converted Type 1 format (as kindly allowed by ParaType). The fonts provide encodings OT1, T1, IL2, TS1, T2* and X2. The version of PT Sans is 2.003, the version of PT Serif is 1.000. They are different and therefore I used the date of the creation of the package as the version for the package paratype. This package was created by merging packages ptsans and ptserif. It was suggested by Karl Berry, because I was usually updating both packages at the same time and there were similar changes. The fonts are designed to be used together and the maintenance of one package will be easier. LaTeX sources that worked with package ptsans or ptserif should also work with package paratype without any changes. Encoding files, map files, LaTeX files and documentation is now in the directories paratype instead of ptsans or ptserif. Other font support files are in the same directories paratype/ptsans or paratype/ptserif as they were in the packages ptsans and ptserif. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts/paratype . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/paratype (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 Thu, 5 May 2011 Michael Sharpe submitted the estix package. A submission was uploaded to /home/ftp/incoming/upload-20110504-234125.001/ on dante.ctan.org. Summary description: PostScript versions of the ESSTIX fonts, with virtual fonts a LaTeX support files for use as math alphabets. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- These are the original ESSTIX fonts in PostScript format. They seem to have been a precursor to the STIX project and were donated by Elsevier to that project. The accompanying virtual fonts with customized metrics and LaTeX support files allow their use as calligraphic, fraktur and double-struck (blackboard bold) in math mode. The support files are all LPPL but the fonts themselves are copyrighted by Elsevier, though donated to the STIX project. It is unclear to me if this means they should now be considered as covered by the same SIL Font license under which the STIX fonts were released. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts/esstix .
