CTAN package update: Stellenbosch thesis and other utilities 5.0
by CTAN Announcements 14 Sep '06

14 Sep '06

The package below has been updated on tug.ctan.org and should soon make its way to your favorite mirror. Thanks, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: Stellenbosch thesis and other utilities 5.0 Author's name: Danie Els Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/stellenbosch Summary description: Typesetting dissertations, theses and reports of the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa. License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The usthesis class/style files are provided to typeset reports, theses and dissertations that conform to the requirements of the Engineering Faculty of the University of Stellenbosch. The class file usthesis.cls is based on the standard LaTeX book class, while usthesis.sty is a style file to be loaded on top of the very powerful memoir class. Both options give identical output, but the benefit of the using memoir is that it has many additional command and environments for formatting and processing of a document. Usthesis is primarily concerned with the formatting of the front matter such as the title page, abstract, etc. and a decent page layout on A4 paper. It also works together with the babel package to provide language options to typeset documents in Afrikaans or in English. Additional packages are provided for bibliographic matter, note title pages, lists of symbols, as well as various graphic files for logos. CHANGES FROM 4.0: a) Add to USthesis docs and to templates: - user defined layouts with memoir or geometry. - parskip package if spacing is required between paragraphs. b) Bugfix in usmeg-n.bst in FUNCTION{remove.spaces} c) Change default BIBand from & to and for usbib.sty with usmeg-a and usmeg-n options. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/stellenbosch .

It was created as an alternative version of the Kurier typeface, which was designed in 1975 for a diploma in typeface design at the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts under the supervision of Roman Tomaszewski. Kurier was designed for linotype typesetting of newspapers and similar periodicals. The Iwona fonts are an alternative version of the Kurier fonts. The difference lies in the absence of ink traps which typify the Kurier font. This distribution contains a significantly extended set of characters covering the following modern alphabets: latin (including Vietnamese), cyrillic and greek as well as a number of additional symbols (including mathematical symbols). The fonts are prepared in Type 1 and OpenType formats. For use with TeX the following encoding files have been prepared: T1 (ec), T2 (abc), and OT2 -- cirilic, T5 (Vietnamese), OT4, QX, texansi and nonstandard (IL2 for the Czech fonts), as well as supporting macros and files defining fonts for LaTeX. The doc/fonts/iwona folder contains examples for plain TeX as well as for LaTeX and an example of typesetting mathematics. The current version (0.98) contains corrected: -- the italic corrections in math fonts -- exclamdown and questiondown ligatures in tfm files ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Package: kurier Version: 0.98 Author: Janusz Marian Nowacki License: GFNL (GUST-FONT-NOSOURCE-LICENSE based on LPPL) Location on CTAN: fonts/kurier/ Kurier is a two-element sans-serif typeface. It was designed for a diploma in typeface design at the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts under the supervision of Roman Tomaszewski. The result was presented with other Polish typefaces at the ATypI conference in Warsaw in 1975. Kurier was intended for linotype typesetting of newspapers and similar periodicals. The design goals included resistance to technological processes destructive to the letter shapes. As a result, amongst others, the typeface distinguishes itself through intra- and extra-letter white spaces as well as ink traps at cross-sections of some elements constituting the characters. This distribution contains a significantly extended set of characters covering the following modern alphabets: latin (including Vietnamese), cyrillic and greek as well as a number of additional symbols (including mathematical symbols).
