CTAN Update: new version of Wadalab fonts
by CTAN Announcements 24 May '08

24 May '08

On Thu, 22 May 2008 at 12:16 +0200, Werner LEMBERG submitted an update to the wadalab package. These are font bundles for the Japanese Wadalab fonts which work with the CJK package. All subfonts now have glyph names compliant to the Adobe Glyph List, making ToUnicode CMaps in PDF documents (created automatically by dvipdfmx) work correctly. All font bundles now contain virtual Unicode subfonts. Location on CTAN: /fonts/wadalab License: unknown Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This version incorporates the hwkatakana bundle of Gernot Hassenpflug (which now becomes obsolete). The main reason for this merge was that some files of Gernot's package replace files from the Wadalab fonts, causing nasty dependency issues. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts/wadalab .

I have installed an update of the rotating package (which I maintain). Changes in v 2.15 -- A fair bit of work on the .dtx, so that the manual is more useful -- Horizontal position of rotated floats on their page is controllable -- Redone the code on auto-rotating of floats in two-side documents; I believe i've solved the problem reported on comp.text.tex recently A .tds.zip file is available.

CTAN package update: fancyvrb
by CTAN Announcements 13 May '08

13 May '08

Niall Mansfield has developed a patch to the current version of the fancyvrb package, and submitted it to me (as a conduit to ctan). The patch addresses a bug in the code related to selecting lines for verbatim printing: if first selected line == last selected line (i.e., only one line was to be printed), the package failed. The new version has been installed at cambridge ctan, and should be on its way around the world. Users may view the package's catalogue entry at: http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/fancyvrb.html or browse the package directory tree: http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/fancyvrb/ The catalogue entry will be (modestly) updated on the web, overnight.

This package has been installed and is working its way through the mirroring system. Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ........................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: MathType 6 for Windows Author's name: Design Science, Inc. Location on CTAN: /support/mathtype Summary description: Mathematical equation editor for Windows. English, French, and German editions. License type: other-nonfree Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MathType is a point and click mathematical equation editor. It is the full-featured version of the Equation Editor that comes with Microsoft Office and other products. While its mouse-centric user interface is somewhat the antithesis of TeX's, it has a number of features that may be of interest to members of the TeX community: - It works with many Windows applications that TeX does not work directly with, such as word processors, presentation programs like PowerPoint, and many more. You can even place equations in flowcharts made with programs like Visio. - It can produce TeX and LaTeX code from its equations. This can be helpful to someone learning TeX or just to take advantage of MathType's ability to work directly in math notation in order to get the nested braces right on a particularly gnarly equation. - You can even type TeX language directly into the MathType window. This allows you to get the best of both the WYSIWYG editing and TeX worlds. - MathType can also produce GIF files for websites and blogs and EPS files for desktop publishing chores. MathType is supplied here as a 30-day evaluation. If you decide to purchase MathType, you can use the Order MathType command within MathType itself to purchase a product key. You can also visit the Design Science website to learn more about MathType. If you have questions, email them to support(a)dessci.com.

CTAN Update: animate
by CTAN Announcements 10 May '08

10 May '08

On Fri, 9 May 2008 Alexander Grahn submitted an update to the animate package for creating portable PDF animations from graphics files and inline graphics. The package provides an interface to create portable, JavaScript driven PDF animations from sets of graphics files or from inline graphics, such as LaTeX picture environment, PSTricks or pgf/TikZ generated pictures, or just from typeset text. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/animate License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Animations produced with this updated version of animate.sty can now be played in the current Adobe Reader 8 at a reasonable speed as well. You might want to experiment with the graphical hardware acceleration feature that was introduced in Reader 8. Go to menu `Edit'-->`Preferences'-->`Page Display'-->`Rendering' to see whether hardware acceleration is available. A 2D GPU acceleration check box will be visible if a supported video card has been detected. (This is currently a Windows-only feature, though.) Feedback is highly welcome, as in my case (different platform + unsupported video card) there is no hardware acceleration available. Without acceleration, animations are still somewhat slower (by approx. 20 %) in Reader 8 than in older versions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/animate .

Because dashrule's rules are constructed internally using ule (as opposed to, e.g., PostScript specials) they are fully compatible with every LaTeX back-end processor. This minor update enables hdashrule to begin a paragraph. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/dashrule .

CTAN support of simple installation files
by Robin Fairbairns 22 Apr '08

22 Apr '08

Over the years, installing files on a TeX system has become increasingly tiresome. When I started using TeX, in the 80s, most packages would say install the files where (La)TeX can find them (if they gave any advice at all on installation). While this advice was plainly good, it didn't help much since few people would want to do the contrary, and it offered no real hints. However, it didn't matter much: I found it easy, as a complete novice, to guess where the file ought to go. TeX systems have changed a lot since then, and most modern systems use a standard called TDS (TeX Directory Structure) to specify how TeX-files should be arranged on disc. The TDS is pretty straightforward once you've read it, and it will give good a usable answer, about where to put a new file, every time. However, not many people _want_ to read it, and as a result TeX forums are forever being asked how to get TeX to find new files. (I keep rewriting the text in the UK FAQ, in this area, too -- see http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=installthings which doesn't yet mention these installation files.) The TDS is a simple structure, and almost all files can be installed simply by putting them in the right place, and updating a single index. The CTAN network is therefore starting to hold TDS ZIP files, which have a built-in directory structure that matches the TDS. These things have to be built, of course, and we're expecting that package writers will supply them for us. This puts an extra burden on the writer; however, it should make the package user much happier, which in turn must help keep the TeX community lively and active. Nitty gritty details (users): Users can see whether a TDS file is available, when they view the catalogue entry for the package they propose to download. A user should download that file, and unpack it in a TDS directory to which she has access, and then generate a file index for the TDS directory tree. The TDS directory on Unix-like systems will typically be the local tree, or the user's tree ~<userid>/texmf Users of MiKTeX systems should not ordinarily need the TDS files; the management of updates for MiKTeX is very efficient indeed, and it is seldom as much as a week between a (free) package appearing, and there being a new (version of a) MiKTeX package being available. However, in extremis, the user of a MiKTeX system see which trees are available using the MiKTeX Options app, Roots tab; see http://docs.miktex.org/manual/localadditions.html for details. The user may generate an index using texhash under unix-like systems. On an MiKTeX system, use the Refresh FNDB button on the MiKTeX Options app General tab. Nitty gritty details (developers): Package writers should refer to the web page http://www.ctan.org/tds-guidelines.html for details of the file structure we assume. Note that the ZIP file does _not_ contain the texmf/ directory itself; it is made at the texmf/ level. Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team

CTAn Update: ctable 1.12
by CTAN Announcements 15 Apr '08

15 Apr '08

On Sun, 13 Apr 2008 Wybo Dekker submitted an update to the ctable package. ctable.sty provides commands to easily typeset centered or left or right aligned tables and (multiple-)figure floats, with footnotes. Instead of an environment, a command with 4 arguments is used; the first is optional and is used for key,value pairs generating variations on the defaults and offering a route for future extensions. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/ctable License: LPPL --------------------------------------------------------------------- - major changes (relative to v1.11): - added option notespar, typesetting footnotes in a paragraph, one after the other. Useful for tables with many short footnotes. --------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/ctable .

CTAN Update: biblatex-dw
by CTAN Announcements 15 Apr '08

15 Apr '08

On Sun, 13 Apr 2008 Dominik Wassenhoven submitted an update to the biblatex-dw package. It is a small collection of styles for the biblatex package. It was designed for citations in the humanities and offers some features that are not provided by the standard biblatex styles. Biblatex-dw is dependent on biblatex (at least version 0.7) and cannot be used without it. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw/ License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- v1.1b - BUGFIX: When using parencite with 'footnote-dw', additional parentheses (e.g. enclosing the string 'editor') were lost; they are now replaced by brackets. - BUGFIX: In 'footnote-dw', the normal cite command always produced a capital letter at the beginning. This is fixed now. - Fixed a small punctuation error in connection with 'herename';. - New command itleaddonpunct for the punctuation before titleaddon, booktitleaddon and maintitleaddon. The default is a period now (not a comma, as before). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw/ .

Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/minipage-marginpar Summary description: Package-update: minipage-marginpar (bugfix and namechange) License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package allows marginpar -commands inside of minipages and other boxes. (It takes another approach than marginnote by Markus Kohm: it saves all marginpar -commands and typesets them outside (i.e., after) the box.) Version 0.3 fixes a bug, which caused marginpars of some kind only appearing on odd pages, not even ones. In my documents I don't have much of those, so I remarked it only now, nearly two years after version 0.2 (which introduced this bug, fixing another one). At the same time, i decided to change the name of the package files from mpgmpar to minipage-marginpar, as already is the CTAN directory name.

Segletes Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/stringstrings Summary description: String manipulation for cosmetic and programming application License type: lgpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package provides a large and sundry array of routines for the manipulation of strings. The routines are developed not only for cosmetic application, such as the changing of letter cases, selective removal of character classes, and string substitution, but also for programming application, such as character look-ahead applications, argument parsing, if-tests for various string conditions, etc. A key tenet employed during the development of this package (unlike, for comparison, the uppercase and lowercase routines) was to have resultant strings be ``expanded'' (i.e., the product of an edef), so that the stringstrings routines could be strung together sequentially and nested (after a fashion) to achieve very complex manipulations. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/stringstrings .

It has everything you need to typeset in this font - except the font itself, of course. There are several versions of the fonts available, different by the version year. This package provides support for fonts as used by No Starch Press, http://www.nostarch.com. To prevent a clash with support of a newer version by W. A. Schmidt, the fontname |pfv| is used instead of the standard |pfu|. INSTALLATION First, you need to purchase the fonts themselves: the pfb files are not included in the package. If you got the fonts from No Starch Press, do not rename the pfb files. However, if there are uppercase letters in your file names, downcase them. If you obtained the fonts from another source, rename the files according to the documentation (futurans.pdf). If your TeX system is TDS-compliant, install the files into $TEXMF/fonts/type1/adobe/futurans. Then download http://ctan.tug.org/install/fonts/psfonts/adobe/futurans.tds.zip and unzip this file in $TEXMF. Add +pfv.map to the configuration files of dvips, pdftex and your dvi previewer. Run updmap and texhash programs to update the configuration files and file names database. The included style futurans.sty makes your default Sans Serif family. NOTE The files were generated using fontinst 1.927.

If you got the fonts from No Starch Press, do not rename the pfb files. However, if there are uppercase letters in your file names, downcase them. If you obtained the fonts from another source, rename the files according to the documentation (dogma.pdf). If your TeX system is TDS-compliant, install the files into $TEXMF/fonts/type1/public/dogma. Download http://ctan.tug.org/install/fonts/psfonts/emigre/dogma.tds.zip and unzip this file in $TEXMF. Add +fdg.map to the configuration files of dvips, pdftex and your dvi previewer. Run updmap and texhash programs to update the configuration files and file names database. The included style dogma.sty adds commands to use the font from LaTeX. NOTE The files were generated using fontinst 1.927. CHANGES v1.1 Added bold letterspaced font v1.2 Changed letterspacing v1.3 Added several letterspaced fonts ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/psfonts/emigre/dogma/ .
