CTAn Update: KOMA-Script
by CTAN Announcements 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

On Tue, 6 Mar 2012 Markus Kohm submitted an update to the koma-script package. Summary description: KOMA-Script a versatile LaTeX2e bundle License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- KOMA-Script is a versatile bundle of LaTeX2e document classes and packages. It aims to be a replacement to the standard LaTeX2e classes. KOMA-Script does not stop with the features known from the standard classes, but it extends the possibilities in order to provide the user an almost complete working environment. Classes at KOMA-Script: scrartcl (article class), scrbook (book class), scrdoc (internal), scrguide (internal), scrlettr (obsolete), scrlttr2 (letter class), scrreprt (report class). Packages at KOMA-Script: scraddr (handling of address files), scrbase (basic features for class and package authors, e.g, key-value-options), scrdate (e.g., name of the day), scrextend (provides some KOMA-Script features for users of other classes), scrfontsizes (developer help package to generate font size files), scrhack (beta, improves some other packages), scrjura (beta, writing laws, contracts etc.), scrkbase (sub-package used by KOMA-Script classes and packages), scrlfile (manipulations while loading files, packages or classes), scrpage (obsolete), scrpage2 (configuration and definition of page styles), scrtime (output of current time), scrwfile (minimize number of write handles and provide cloning of helper files), tocbasic (easy generation and handling of table of contents and lists of floats), tocstyle (alpha), typearea (professional type area and borders for ordinary persons). Main documentation files: scrguide.pdf (German), scrguien.pdf (English), scrhack.pdf (English), scrjura.pdf (German), tocstyle.pdf (English). For a detailed list of changes see <http://www.komascript.de/release> (in German) or <http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=4307> (in English) or simply the ChangeLog inside the bundle. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script/ . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/koma-script (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: soulpos
by CTAN Announcements 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

On Sat, 25 Feb 2012 Javier Bezos submitted the soulpos package. Summary description: Fancy underlining License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package combines soul with the savepos mechanism provided by the pdftex engine, so that you can create (almost) arbitrary underlining and similar ``decorations'', including rules, leaders and even pictures (pgf, pstricks, etc.). Unlike soul underlines, which are built by repeating small elements, here each chunk of text to be underlined is a single element. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/bezos .

CTAN Update: paratype
by CTAN Announcements 23 Feb '12

23 Feb '12

On Thu, 23 Feb 2012, Pavel Farar submitted an update to the paratype package. Summary description: LaTeX support for free fonts by ParaType License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Added font PT Mono (currently just TrueType format). - My converted Type 1 version of fonts PT Sans and PT Serif is replaced by Type 1 fonts kindly provided by ParaType. It has two important advantages: First, they are of much higher quality. Second, the distribution of the fonts is not limited to TeX. - Added map file paratype-mixed.map that sets Type 1 version of PT Sans and PT Serif and TrueType version of PT Mono. It is just temporary sollution before I get Type 1 version of PT Mono. This map file may disappear in future releases of this package. - Added support for faked styles UprightItalic and Slanted of PT Serif. Requested by A. Jan Kutylowski. There are no font files containing these styles, the styles are generated on the fly. There is small incompatibility: In the previous version of paratype, if you requested slanted shape of PT Serif, it was replaced by italic shape. Now, there is both italic and slanted shape and they are different. - Removed f-ligatures from the TS1 and X2 encodings. They were set explicitely for all encodings on the command line, no matter if they were really needed. - The file paratype.sty sets PTMono-TLF as the default monospaced font. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 .
