CTAN update: euenc
by CTAN Announcements 19 Sep '10

19 Sep '10

This should be at your local mirror. Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College Update summary: ........................................................................ Remove xunicode from the EU2 encoding; it is now loaded internally by fontspec. ........................................................................ Basic package information, as sent by the contributor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Package name: EUenc Caption: Unicode font encoding definitions for XeTeX. Description: Font encoding definitions for unicode fonts loaded by LaTeX in XeTeX or LuaTeX. The package provides two encodings: * EU1, designed for use with XeTeX, which the fontspec uses for unicode fonts which require no macro-level processing for accents, and * EU2, which provides the same facilities for use with LuaTeX. Neither encoding places any restriction on the glyphs provided by a font; use of EU2 causes the package euxunicode to be loaded (the package is part of this distribution). The package includes font definition files for use with the Latin Modern OpenType fonts. Location: /macros/latex/contrib/euenc Authors: Élie Roux; Will Robertson; Khaled Hosny Version: 0.1g License: lppl1.3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/euenc (the link may take a day to sync).

After running the script, you should have a working font installation in your local TeX tree. License: LPPL New in v1.5: - added new switches: * -m, --mapfilename file name of the map file * -O. --origfontname use original font names instead of Karl Berry names - added support for more font series. The script now installs: * light, light italic * regular/medium, regular/medium italic * small caps (regular + bold) * semi bold, semi bold italic * demi, demi italic * bold, bold italic * extra bold, extra bold italic * ultra bold/heavy, ultra bold/heavy italic ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/installfont .

If upgrading, please remove your installed <perl lib>/Biber/BibTeX directory * Now requires LaTeX::Decode >= 0.03 * Stricter version dependency for Text::BibTeX.

The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: rvwrite Version number: 1.2 Author's name: CV Radhakrishnan Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/rvwrite Summary description: This package helps to fix insufficient number of write registers. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The io registers in TeX are often a matter of severe limitation. When we try to typeset a document that loads a lot of packages, it becomes a non-trivial task to satisfy register requirements of various packages that compete each other. It is further complicated, if refining the typeset copy involves usage of more custom packages which want to write out a few streams for reading during subsequent TeX compilations. LaTeX needs a few registers by default, some of the packages might need a few more streams thereby reducing the available number of registers to less than ten. At times, we have been forced to comment out a few write registers which are seemingly unused for the document in question to make available necessary registers for our custom packages. But, this is not an elegant way, also, it requires developer intervention during the production process. A package namely, rvwrite.sty, is written to solve this nagging problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/rvwrite .

The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: marginfix Version number: 0.9 Author's name: Stephen Hicks Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/marginfix Summary description: Patches LaTeX's marginpar routines to prevent overflowing and misalignment License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- As advertised at TUG 2010 (more or less). Authors using LaTeX to typeset books with significant margin material often run into the problem of long notes running off the bottom of the page. A typical workaround is to insert vshift commands by hand, but this is a tedious process that is invalidated when pagination changes. Another workaround is memoir's sidebar function, but this can be unsatisfying for short textual notes, and standard marginpars cannot be mixed with sidebars. This package implements a solution to make marginpars just work by keeping a list of floating inserts and arranging them intelligently in the output routine. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/marginfix .

by CTAN Announcements 18 Aug '10

18 Aug '10

i have installed a new version of the uk tex faq on ctan, and updated the version presented by http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq existing advertised faq links should continue to work. (note that there are no guarantees for links that use the long-abandoned question number form.) the major change in this version of the faq is that the package links (from the bottom of faq answer pages) now use mirror.ctan.org, rather than using www.tex.ac.uk exclusively. other changes are listed in the file help/uk-tex-faq/CHANGES-3.20 on any ctan node. Users may view the package's catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/uk-tex-faq.html or browse the package's directory at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/uk-tex-faq/ The catalogue entry will change (somewhat) overnight tonight.

CTAN Update: pdfcomment
by CTAN Announcements 15 Aug '10

15 Aug '10

On Sun, 15 Aug 2010 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 v1.6: - added support for using pdfmarkupcomment in math mode (see: example_math_markup.pdf) feature request by: Ross Moore (he also contributed ideas and code) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment .
