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 . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/mf2pt1 (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 .

(thank to Rasmus Villemoes for pointing this out) * Spurious `upUpsilon` removed (the one at U+03A5 is now the correct one) * Typo when defining `dprime` fixed (thanks to Ulrik Vieth for these last two) * Fix the math class of `modtwosum`; it is now a large operator (thanks to Michael Ummels) * Move several LuaTeX-related patches to the `lualatex-math` package * Fixed mathtool's `cramped` in XeLaTeX usage ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/unicode-math .

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. MacTeX 2011 (http://tug.org/mactex) and proTeXt 3.0 for 2011 (http://tug.org/protext) have also been released and are available from CTAN. The TeX Collection DVD with all the above will be released as soon as possible; hopefully, it will go out in August. Happy TeXing, Karl

by CTAN Announcements 14 Jul '11

On Wed, 13 Jul 2011 Thomas Koenig and Alexander Michel submitted an update to the numericplots package. Summary description: package to plot numeric data using pstricks (including Matlab export) License type: gpl ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Plotting numeric data is a task which often has to be done for scientific papers. In LaTeX, however, it is only possible to include graphics created with an external program. The pstricks-packages provide very many commands to generate graphics in LaTeX. To generate simple graphics from numeric data, however, it is difficult to use. This package provides a simpler interface for the pstricks-package to plot numeric data. Additionally, it contains some Matlab functions to export such numeric data from Matlab for easy plotting of Matlab data in LaTeX. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/pstricks/contrib/numericplots (Note the new location!)
