On Tue, 14 Jul 2009, John Bowman submitted version 1.81 of the
asymptote
package.
Asymptote is a powerful descriptive vector graphics language for technical
drawing, inspired by MetaPost but with an improved C++-like syntax. Asymptote
provides for figures the same high-quality level of typesetting that LaTeX does
for scientific text.

License type: lgpl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A boolean targetsize option can now be used to draw 3D labels with the apparent
size they would have on the target plane. The camera adjustment algorithms
were fixed; the autoadjust flag is respected. Missing path3 functions
such as endpoint(path3) were added. The doubleclick timeout under MSWindows
was fixed. A workaround for a ConTeXT small font bug is illustrated in
contextfonts.asy. File associations are now used under MSWindows for
psviewer, pdfviewer, display, and animate. Single quotation marks are now
allowed in filenames. Deconstruction is now only supported in PNG format;
the xformat setting was removed. The example lmfit illustrates
Levenberg-Marquardt nonlinear least-squares fitting.

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In June 2009 www.freefont.de offered a beautiful handwriting font
for free download: The Softmaker Stone Handwriting.
As handwriting fonts are a quite limited resource in the LaTeX world,
i decided to create support files for this beautiful font. Therefore,
Stone Handwriting will be the starting point for the freefont bundle.
Other (beautiful) fonts may be included in future.
License: LPPL (not the font itself)
New in v1.1:
- added LaTeX support for the quite narrow running font: Henderson
Attention: The font is not included! This font is font of the
month (July 2009) and can be downloaded for free at (at least
this month): http://freefont.de
Later you can buy from Softmaker

Name of contribution: Chinese Font Metrics
Version number: 0.9
Author's name: Yue Wang
Location on CTAN: /fonts
Summary description: TFM subfonts files for using Chinese Fonts in 8-bit TeX
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chinese Font Metrics is a set of font metrics for using Chinese fonts under the latex-
>dvipdfmx or pdflatex route. Note, latex->dvips is not supported since dvips can not
embed ttf. In order to use that in dvips, you should create type1 subfonts from
truetype files by your self (perhaps using ttf2pt1 or fontforge).
No actual Chinese TrueType typeface font is provided in the package. If you want to
use this package, bear in mind that a set of ttfs (like sim*.ttf distributed in Simplified
Chinese version of Windows XP) are needed for font embedding. Just copy the
sim*.ttf to corresponding directory enables you to typeset Chinese out of the box. If
you are using other fonts, you might consider adding/modifying the map lines
manually.
the package contained files in three categories :
- fonts/tfm: contained all the tfm metric files for 6 typeface (kai, song, lishu,
fangsong, youyuan, hei) in two widely used character encodings (GBK and UTF-8)
here.
- scripts: in order to make sure that all the above tfms distributed have no legal
problems (since most Chinese TrueType fonts are commercial, and converting that
using ttf2tfm might raise some legal problems) Lingyun Wu wrote a script to
generate the metrics. Lua and pltotf are used to generate the tfms, no actual ttf are
involved thanks to the fact that Chinese characters are monospace font by nature.
- fonts/map and tex/latex/zhwinfonts: default map file (for simsun.ttf, simhei.ttf,
simfang.ttf, simkai,ttf, simli.ttf and simyou.ttf. These fonts are widely used in China)
for pdftex, ttf2pk and dvipdfmx.
The package is created following Yue Wang's article. If you are interested in why this
package can do the magic, that article explains everything, available on
http://bbs.ctex.org/viewthread.php?tid=50078.
This package is licensed in LPPL.

macros and redefines all the standard counters to produce
dozenal output.
Fonts, in Roman, italic, slanted, and boldface versions,
provide ten and eleven (the Pitman characters preferred by
