With this script (installfont for MiKTeX; installfont-tl for

Truetype, Opentype). It supports font series from light to
ultra bold + (faked) small caps + faked slanted, but no expert
fonts. The script will rename the fonts automatically (optional)
or will otherwise expect *.afm files and the font files (in
Postscript Type1 format!) named in the Karl Berry scheme
(e.g. 5nar8a.pfb). After running the script, you should
have a working font installation in your local TeX tree.
For this month's (07/2013) free font on www.freefont.de,
simply run
installfont-tl -t otf -f 6sf -n 'Softmaker Stafford Serial'
-c Staffort -P SMFF@Ssf -p stafford -m stafford -O -d 2013/07/15

Steve B. Segletes submitted an update to the
stackengine
package.
Version number: 2.0
License type: lppl
Summary description: Highly customized stacking of objects,
insets, baseline changes, etc.
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
While several improvements have been added to stackengine V2.0,
the most important of them requires a small syntax change that
will affect prior code, when specifying the default stackgaps.
This change was required to correct the deficiency that scalable
stackgaps did not scale when the fontsize was changed. V2.0
provides an [oldsyntax] package option to maintain backward
compatibility, if desired. See documentation for details.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package is located at
http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/stackengine
. More information is at
http://www.ctan.org/pkg/stackengine
(if the package is new it may take a day for that information to
appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

Clemens Niederberger submitted an update to the
chemmacros
package.
Version number: 4.0
License type: lppl
Summary description: macros and commands for chemists
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
changes with v4.0:
- the packages `chemformula' and `ghsystem' do not load
`chemmacros' any more which means they can be used
independently.
- the option `bpchem' has been dropped.
- the commands mch and pch now match `chemformula's charges.
- the option `method' has been dropped.
- the option `append' has deprecated.
- the option `greek' has been extended to support other uppercase
greek letters, for example those provided by `kpfonts'. This is
handled internally by the new package in the family: `chemgreek'.
This package is not really a package for usage at a user-level
but could in principle be used to extend the `greek' option.
- language support is now done with the help of the `translations'
package from the `exsheets' bundle. This means that with v4.0 the
document language is recognized automatically.
- the status of the commands Lfi and Dfi has been changed
from /deprecated/ to /dropped/.
- various other changes like bug fixes and improvements on the
typographical appearance of `chemformula's inline formulae with
ch{}.
- every package in the bundle got its own documentation file but the
German and Italian version of the manuals are no longer provided

gentium-tug
package.
Summary description: Gentium font family in TrueType and Type 1 formats, with ConTeXt and LateX support
License type: ofl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Gentium is a typeface family designed to enable the diverse ethnic
groups around the world who use the Latin, Cyrillic and Greek scripts to
produce readable, high-quality publications. It supports a wide range of
Latin- and Cyrillic-based alphabet.
This TeX package, gentium-tug, consists of:
1. The original (unaltered) GentiumPlus, GentiumBook, and other
Gentium-family fonts in TrueType format, as developed by SIL and
released under the OFL (see OFL.txt and OFL-FAQ.txt).
2. Converted fonts in PostScript Type 1 format, released under the same
terms. These incorporate the name Gentium by permission of SIL given
to the TeX Users Group. These Type 1 fonts are the principal difference
between this package and the previous gentium package on CTAN.
3. ConTeXt, LaTeX and other supporting files under the Expat license,
text given below (also at http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/License:Expat).
4. Documentation: the TeX-specific documentation is in
gentium.{tex,pdf}. We have also included the original documentation,
fontlogs, and other files from the SIL distribution, entirely unaltered.
The home page for the original SIL Gentium font family is
http://scripts.sil.org/Gentium.
The home page for this TeX package, gentium-tug, is
http://tug.org/gentium.
