CTAN update: pkfix-helper
by CTAN Announcements 24 Oct '10

24 Oct '10

This should be at your local mirror. Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College .......................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: pkfix-helper Version number: 1.3 Author's name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: /support/pkfix-helper Summary description: Preprocess old PostScript files so pkfix can replace their fonts 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. Version 1.3 introduces a --keep option to prevent specified bitmapped fonts from being replaced with vector fonts. This is useful for logos and other graphics that were created as single-character fonts. Version 1.3 also fixes a divide-by-zero error caused by forced fonts that match only on zero-width characters. Both the request for a --keep option and the bug report are due to Rogério Brito. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/pkfix-helper .

CTAN update: historische-zeitschrift
by CTAN Announcements 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

This should be at your local mirror. Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College ........................................................................... Update summary: version 0.9a - Compatibility to biblatex 0.9e. - New option 'postnote'. This option can take the values 'inparen' and 'afterparen', where 'inparen' puts the postnote in subsequent citations inside the parenthesis holding the 'see note N' phrase. The default is 'afterparen' (thus, the default behaviour has changed, because the HZ style requires it. The style description was wrong at this point, and I did not check properly in the printed journal. Therefore, the biblatex style 'historische-zeitschrift' was wrong in this particular point. For compatibility reasons, and because it might be useful, I turned the wrong behaviour into the option 'postnote=inparen'). - @reference and @inreference are now supported (as an alias for @collection and @incollection, respectively, as they do not require special treatment). Basic package information, as sent by the contributor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Location: /macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/historische-zeitschrift Caption: Biblatex style for the journal 'Historische Zeitschrift' Description: The package provides citations according with the house style of the ‘Historische Zeitschrift’, a German historical journal. The scheme is a fullcite for the first citation and ‘Author, Shorttitle (as note N, P)’ for later citations (P being the page number). For further details, see the description of the house style at the journal's site. The package depends on biblatex (version 0.9e or higher). Author: Dominik Waßenhoven License: lppl Name: historische-zeitschrift Version: 0.9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/historische-zeitschrift (this link may take a day to sync).
