CTAN submission -- contour.sty v2.12
by Reinhard Zierke 31 Aug '04

31 Aug '04

----- Forwarded message from Harald Harders ----- I have uploaded contour-v2_12.tar.gz to ftp.dante.de. It contains the new version of the contour page. Please replace all files in CTAN/macros/latex/contrib/contour by the archive's contents.

By default this is done by placing copies of the text around the text itself and can be switched to use real outlines if supported by the backend driver. The new feature is to enable vector outlines for backend driver that support this when using vector fonts. Supported are dvips, pdftex, and vtex. Switch on outlines by using the package option 'outline'. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the update.
