CTAN submission -- Eukleides 1.0
by Reinhard Zierke 15 May '04

15 May '04

----- Forwarded message from Christian Obrecht ----- I've just uploaded the latest source archives (1.0.0) of `eukleides' and `xeukleides' in `CTAN:/incoming/eukleides'. They should be installed in `CTAN:/tex-archive/support/eukleides/'. There's also a `README' file which is intended to replace the old one. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed it as suggested replacing the previous version in CTAN:support/eukleides/. The license remains GPL. >From the README file: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eukleides is a Euclidean geometry drawing language. Two softwares are related to it. First, eukleides, a compiler which allows to typeset geometry figures within a (La)TeX document. This program is also useful to convert such figures in EPS format or in various other vector graphic formats. Second, xeukleides, an X-Window front-end which makes possible to create interactive geometry figures. This program is also useful to edit and tune some Eukleides code. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

by Reinhard Zierke 10 May '04

10 May '04

----- Forwarded message from Gianfranco Boggio-Togna ----- I have uploaded the file `arcs.zip' to ftp.dante.de/incoming. Name of contribution: arcs Author: Gianfranco Boggio-Togna <gbt(a)acm.org> Suggested location: /tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/arcs License: LaTeX Project Public License Description: This tiny package provides two commands for placing an arc over/under a short piece of text. The code comes from my package `metre'. I have repackaged it to make it more easily available and to allow the commands to be used within math formulas. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed the new package as suggested in CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/arcs/ As we are trying to move to online PDF documentation, I ran arcs.dtx through pdflatex and installed the file arcs.pdf as well. (While I was at it, I also renamed macros/latex/contrib/metre/readme to macros/latex/contrib/metre/REAME. Thus web browsers will automagically display this file when entering the directory.)

Second revision of footmisc.dtx
by Robin Fairbairns 02 May '04

02 May '04

i found another bug in the footmisc i installed yesterday (it was actually corrected in the version that had previously been on ctan; the version i installed yesterday had the same version number as the one already there...) the new version is v5.3c, and it even works in the part of my test suite that doesn't live in the same subtree, and therefore got forgotten yesterday... any unfortunate who updated their copy of footmisc yesterday should update again -- sorry. files updated are macros/latex/contrib/footmisc.dtx and footmisc.pdf Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team

CTAN Upload: Font Installation Guide 2.0
by Reinhard Zierke 23 Apr '04

23 Apr '04

----- Forwarded message from Philipp Lehman <plehman(a)gmx.net> ----- I've uploaded the file 'fontinstallationguide.tar.gz' to the incoming directory on ftp.dante.de. This tarball includes an update to a file currently installed as: info/Type1fonts/fontinstallationguide.pdf plus some new files which were not included in any of the previous releases. As of this release, the guide will be accompanied by additional resources. Therefore I would like to request a minor path change. If possible, please add the directory: info/Type1fonts/fontinstallationguide/ and extract the tarball to the newly created directory. (...) ABOUT ----- The Font installation guide discusses the most common scenarios you are likely to encounter when installing Type 1 Postscript fonts. While the individual tools employed in the installation process are documented well, the actual difficulty most users are facing when trying to install new fonts is understanding how to put all the pieces together. This is what this guide is about. CHANGES ------- * Complete revision of the guide for fontinst 1.9 * All examples discussed in the guide now included as separate files * Monolithic Latex source now included as well * Added README file ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload. I installed it as suggested in the directory CTAN:info/Type1fonts/fontinstallationguide/ Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team
