CTAN upload: graphicx-psmin
by CTAN Announcements 23 Sep '05

23 Sep '05

On Wed, 21 Sep 2005, Hendri Adriaens submitted a new package graphicx-psmin to CTAN. This package is an extension of the standard graphics bundle and provides a way to include repeated postscript graphics (ps, eps) only once in a postscript document. This provides a way to get smaller postscript documents when having, for instance, a logo on every page. This package only works when post-processed with dvips, which should at least have version 5.95b! The difference for the pdf file is minimal (as ghostscript already includes only a single copy of graphics files).

CTAN has a new package: otftofd
by CTAN Announcements 19 Sep '05

19 Sep '05

A new package has been installed at tug.ctan.org and is now making its way to your favorite mirror. Thank you for the contribution, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: otftofd Author's name: Geoffrey Washburn Location on CTAN: /fonts/utilities/otftofd Summary description: otftofd is a script to help with the task of generating a NFSS font description file and a map file from a large collection of OpenType fonts. License type: gpl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- otftofd is a script I wrote to help the task of generating a NFSS font description file and a map file from a large collection of OpenType fonts. In particular, when considering Adobe Pro Optical fonts, there is almost a combinatorial nightmare when attempting to create these files by hand. This software is still probably alpha quality and mostly designed specifically for Adobe font conventions. It currently has experimental support for generating swashed versions of a font and fonts consisting of ornaments. There is some preliminary support for selecting encodings, but it is far from complete. The tool has been mostly tested with the T1 Cork encoding. For more information about using the tool, invoke it with the --help option. otftofd is written in CaSH (Caml Shell) and additionally requires Eddie Kohler's excellent LCDF Typetools. ofttofd was originally called adobe-font-tool, but at the suggestion of CTAN it was renamed to hopefully be more descriptive. otftofd is licensed under the FSF General Public License. Do not hesitate to send me bug reports or fixes, other improvements, or suggestions. Contact me via e-mail at washburn(a)acm.org. There is a public, read-only, Subversion repository for otftofd at https://svn.cis.upenn.edu/svnroot/otftofd/. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/utilities/otftofd .

The package described below has been updated on tug.ctan.org and likely has already been updated at your favorite mirror. Thank you for the contribution, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: CurVe Author's name: Didier Verna Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib Summary description: A curriculum vitae class for LaTeX2e License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CurVe version 1.10 is out. New in this release: - automatic skipping of identical keys - fix alignment problem with empty prefix CurVe is a class package that hopefully will make your life easier when you want to write your CV. It provides you with a set of commands to create rubrics, entries in these rubrics etc. CurVe will then properly format your CV for you (possibly splitting it onto multiple pages, repeating the titles etc), which is usually the most painful part of CV writing. Another nice feature of CurVe is its ability to manage different CV flavors simultaneously. It is in fact often the case that you want to maintain slightly divergent versions of your CV at the same time, in order to emphasize on different aspects of your background. CurVe also comes with support for AUC-TeX. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive//macros/latex/contrib .

CTAN update: Latin Modern lm0992
by CTAN Announcements 06 Sep '05

06 Sep '05

On Tue, 6 Sep 2005, Staszek Wawrykiewicz submitted an update to the Latin Modern fonts (lm) package. Authors: JNSteam License: GPL Location on CTAN: fonts/lm Note that the directory contains an extra file lm0.99.2mt1.zip, containing fonts sources for MetaType1. The Latin Modern family of fonts is based on the Computer Modern fonts in the PostScript Type 1 format, released into public domain by the American Mathematical Society. The fonts, as compared to the CM family, contain a lot of additional characters, mainly accented ones, but not only. The current distribution contains: Latin Modern fonts in the PostScript Type 1 and OpenType formats, source files for MetaType1 plus all requisites for using the fonts with TeX/pdfTeX; there is one set of PostScript fonts and five sets of TeX Font Metric files, corresponding to: -- EC (Cork) encoding (ec-*.tfm), -- QX encoding (qx-*.tfm), -- TeX'n'ANSI aka LY1 encoding (texnansi-*.tfm), -- T5 (Vietnamese) encoding (t5-*.tfm), -- Text Companion for EC fonts aka TS1 (ts1-*.tfm). LaTeX *.sty and *.fd files were also added plus a few test files. Most important recent changes: 1. corrected some bugs in kerning (introduced incidentally in ver. 0.99.1) 2. .map and .enc files were uniformized. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.
