German CTAN Server down until 10 August, 07:00 UTC
by CTAN Announcements 09 Aug '11

09 Aug '11

Hello, In the next few hours, our hosting provider does maintenance work on infrastructure. During that time, power will be turned off. For that reason, I will shut down comedy.dante.de, a.k.a. dante.ctan.org, the German CTAN server in short time. Controlled shut down is much better than simply plugging the cord... ;-) The server will be back up in roughly 9 hours, at 07:00 UTC. (That's 9am Central European Summer Time, in case you're wondering. :-) During that time, CTAN mailing lists will not be reachable, mirrors can't rsync, no downloads or uploads can happen. I hope that this doesn't cause any inconvenience.

CTAN Update: mf2pt1
by CTAN Announcements 02 Aug '11

02 Aug '11

On Tue, 2 Aug 2011 Scott Pakin submitted an update to the mf2pt1 package. Summary description: Produce PostScript Type 1 fonts from Metafont source License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mf2pt1 facilitates producing PostScript Type 1 fonts from a Metafont source file. mf2pt1's advantage over tools such as TeXtrace and mftrace is that it does not rely on bitmap tracing and therefore can produce higher-quality Type 1 fonts than trace-based tools. The catch is that mf2pt1 imposes some restrictions on the Metafont input so it is not, as the name may imply, an automatic converter of arbitrary Metafont fonts to Type 1 format. Version 2.4.5 incorporates a bug fix from Werner Lemberg that prevents non-INT arguments from being passed to hsbw in the definition of .notdef. If you have been receiving unknown charstring command messages from t1asm and/or Stack underflow on hsbw in .notdef messages from FontForge, you should upgrade to this version of mf2pt1. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/mf2pt1 .

Package updates will restart in another day or two. If anyone notices stale or missing information on the TL web pages, or problems with the release, please report as usual.
