Author's name: Boris Veytsman
Location on CTAN: /fonts/pcarl
Summary description: LaTeX Support for Adobe Caslon Open Face
License type: other-free
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Caslon Open Face font was desgined by Barnhart Brothers and
Spindler
in 1915. It was initially colled College Oldstyle and based
on Le
Moreau de Jeune from G. Peignot foundry. Its realtion to the
classical Caslon font family is rather distant.
Nevertheless it is a
nice titling and display font.
Adobe sells OTF version of this font, but other versions,
including
Type 1 are still available from other vendors, including
http://www.fonts.com. Note that there are many ``free''
variants of
this font available for downloading on various sites; I
chose not to
use them because of unclear license status.
While modern engines like XeTeX and LuaTeX can use system fonts
directly, the installation base of the other systems is
huge, so it
might be worthwile to release support files.
The name pcarl follows the standard Fontname scheme for
Adobe Caslon
Open Face.

Announcement text:

This update adds a couple of ifcurrfile... macros to
compare file names in a catcode insensitive way. It also
sanitizes now all file name macros, i.e. sets the catcodes
to other. Therefore included underscores will not be taken
as math subscripts anymore. However it might not be
displayed correctly in all fonts without special care (use
tfamily or the url package with urlstyle).

Version number: 1.0
Author's name: Boris Veytsman
Location on CTAN: /fonts/pcarl
Summary description: LaTeX Support for Adobe Caslon Open Face
License type: other-free
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Caslon Open Face font was desgined by Barnhart Brothers and
Spindler
in 1915. It was initially colled College Oldstyle and based
on Le
Moreau de Jeune from G. Peignot foundry. Its realtion to the
classical Caslon font family is rather distant.
Nevertheless it is a
nice titling and display font.
Adobe sells OTF version of this font, but other versions,
including
Type 1 are still available from other vendors, including
http://www.fonts.com. Note that there are many ``free''
variants of
this font available for downloading on various sites; I
chose not to
use them because of unclear license status.
While modern engines like XeTeX and LuaTeX can use system fonts
directly, the installation base of the other systems is
huge, so it
might be worthwile to release support files.
The name pcarl follows the standart Fontname scheme for
Adobe Caslon
Open Face.

Name of contribution: cprotect.zip
Version number: 1.0
Author's name: Bruno Le Floch
Summary description: verbatim in macro arguments (footnote, section,...)
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Introduces the macro cprotect, which allows the control
sequence that follows to take verbatim text among its argument.
For instance, footnote, section, chapter, itle... can
be made to contain verb, and
egin{verbatim}...end{verbatim}, as well as any catcode
change.
Moving arguments, ableofcontents, etc. also work well! A
typical use: cprotectsection{The verb+|+ symbol.} works
as wanted.
Similar command for protecting environments.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Note from author:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am also thinking of writing a package that parses a TeX file for regexp,
if people think it might be useful (probably a hard exercise in catcode changes).
Let me know.
