CTAN Update: paratype replaces ptsans and ptserif
by CTAN Announcements 11 May '11

11 May '11

On Tue, 10 May 2011 Pavel Farar submitted the paratype package, which replaces the packages ptsans and ptserif License type: other-free Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package contains LaTeX support for the fonts PT Sans and PT Serif developed by ParaType for the project Public Types of Russian Federation, and released under an open user license. The fonts are included in the original TrueType format and converted Type 1 format (as kindly allowed by ParaType). The fonts provide encodings OT1, T1, IL2, TS1, T2* and X2. The version of PT Sans is 2.003, the version of PT Serif is 1.000. They are different and therefore I used the date of the creation of the package as the version for the package paratype. This package was created by merging packages ptsans and ptserif. It was suggested by Karl Berry, because I was usually updating both packages at the same time and there were similar changes. The fonts are designed to be used together and the maintenance of one package will be easier. LaTeX sources that worked with package ptsans or ptserif should also work with package paratype without any changes. Encoding files, map files, LaTeX files and documentation is now in the directories paratype instead of ptsans or ptserif.

On Thu, 5 May 2011 Michael Sharpe submitted the estix package. A submission was uploaded to /home/ftp/incoming/upload-20110504-234125.001/ on dante.ctan.org. Summary description: PostScript versions of the ESSTIX fonts, with virtual fonts a LaTeX support files for use as math alphabets. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- These are the original ESSTIX fonts in PostScript format. They seem to have been a precursor to the STIX project and were donated by Elsevier to that project. The accompanying virtual fonts with customized metrics and LaTeX support files allow their use as calligraphic, fraktur and double-struck (blackboard bold) in math mode. The support files are all LPPL but the fonts themselves are copyrighted by Elsevier, though donated to the STIX project. It is unclear to me if this means they should now be considered as covered by the same SIL Font license under which the STIX fonts were released. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts/esstix .
