CTAN Update: PT Serif
by CTAN Announcements 10 Feb '11

10 Feb '11

On Thu, 10 Feb 2011 Pavel Farar submitted an update to the ptserif package. Summary description: PT Serif font and LaTeX support. License type: other-free Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - In the fonts/enc/ and fonts/map directories omitted the paratype level (suggested by Karl Berry). - Changed style files in this way: 1) Added an option to scale the fonts. In the font definition files was support for it but not in the style files. It was caused by creating simpler style files than those created by autoinst from fontools (they were created because the original files required the package fontenc with all supported encodings -- which might be a problem). 2) Style files do not change neither familydefault nor fdefault. There are font substitutions in the font definition files now. Both suggested by Ricard Torres. Used his patches (based on Walter Schmidt's macros) for PTSerif.sty and T1PTSerif-TLF.fd. The changes extended to all other files. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts/ptserif . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=ptserif (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 .

CTAN Update: mathastext
by CTAN Announcements 01 Feb '11

01 Feb '11

On Tue, 1 Feb 2011 Jean-Francois Burnol submitted an update of the mathastext package to CTAN. Summary description: Use the text font in simple mathematics License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The mathastext package propagates the document text font to mathematical mode, for the letters of the Latin alphabet and, optionally, other characters in the font. Thus it makes possible (for a document with simple mathematics) to use a quite arbitrary text font without worrying too much that no specially designed accompanying maths fonts are available. The package also offers a simple mechanism for using many different choices of (text hence, now, math) font in the same document. Of course, using one font for two purposes helps produce smaller PDF files. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mathastext/ . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=mathastext (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 .

Description: Nicetext bundle offers “minimal” markup syntax for various simple kinds of text. The code you type should involve little more than is printed, and you still get LaTeX quality. The bundle provides four packages: *'wiki' addresses general texts, marked up in the simple style used on Wikipedia; *'niceverb' is yet another means of documenting LaTeX packages: it offers syntax-aware typesetting of meta-variables (macro arguments) and for referring to commands (and their syntax) in footnotes, section titles etc.; *'fifinddo' aims to parse plain text or (La)TeX files using TeX, and to write the results to an external file. This generalises the philosophy behind docstrip: the package aims at practical application, and is used by *'makedoc', which provides the means to typeset package files. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/nicetext (this may take a day to sync).
