CTAN has a new package: otftofd
by CTAN Announcements 19 Sep '05

19 Sep '05

A new package has been installed at tug.ctan.org and is now making its way to your favorite mirror. Thank you for the contribution, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: otftofd Author's name: Geoffrey Washburn Location on CTAN: /fonts/utilities/otftofd Summary description: otftofd is a script to help with the task of generating a NFSS font description file and a map file from a large collection of OpenType fonts. License type: gpl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- otftofd is a script I wrote to help the task of generating a NFSS font description file and a map file from a large collection of OpenType fonts. In particular, when considering Adobe Pro Optical fonts, there is almost a combinatorial nightmare when attempting to create these files by hand. This software is still probably alpha quality and mostly designed specifically for Adobe font conventions. It currently has experimental support for generating swashed versions of a font and fonts consisting of ornaments. There is some preliminary support for selecting encodings, but it is far from complete. The tool has been mostly tested with the T1 Cork encoding. For more information about using the tool, invoke it with the --help option. otftofd is written in CaSH (Caml Shell) and additionally requires Eddie Kohler's excellent LCDF Typetools. ofttofd was originally called adobe-font-tool, but at the suggestion of CTAN it was renamed to hopefully be more descriptive. otftofd is licensed under the FSF General Public License. Do not hesitate to send me bug reports or fixes, other improvements, or suggestions. Contact me via e-mail at washburn(a)acm.org. There is a public, read-only, Subversion repository for otftofd at https://svn.cis.upenn.edu/svnroot/otftofd/. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/utilities/otftofd .

Name of contribution: CurVe Author's name: Didier Verna Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib Summary description: A curriculum vitae class for LaTeX2e License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CurVe version 1.10 is out. New in this release: - automatic skipping of identical keys - fix alignment problem with empty prefix CurVe is a class package that hopefully will make your life easier when you want to write your CV. It provides you with a set of commands to create rubrics, entries in these rubrics etc. CurVe will then properly format your CV for you (possibly splitting it onto multiple pages, repeating the titles etc), which is usually the most painful part of CV writing. Another nice feature of CurVe is its ability to manage different CV flavors simultaneously. It is in fact often the case that you want to maintain slightly divergent versions of your CV at the same time, in order to emphasize on different aspects of your background. CurVe also comes with support for AUC-TeX. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive//macros/latex/contrib .

LaTeX *.sty and *.fd files were also added plus a few test files. Most important recent changes: 1. corrected some bugs in kerning (introduced incidentally in ver. 0.99.1) 2. .map and .enc files were uniformized. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

CTAN update: new LM fonts
by CTAN Announcements 01 Sep '05

01 Sep '05

On Thu, 1 Sep 2005, Staszek Wawrykiewicz submitted an update to the Latin Modern fonts (lm) package. Package: Latin Modern fonts Authors: JNSteam License: GPL Location on CTAN: fonts/lm Note that the directory contains an extra file lm0.99.1mt1.zip, containing fonts sources for MetaType1. The Latin Modern family of fonts is based on the Computer Modern fonts in the PostScript Type 1 format, released into public domain by the American Mathematical Society. The fonts, as compared to the CM family, contain a lot of additional characters, mainly accented ones, but not only. The current distribution contains: Latin Modern fonts in the PostScript Type 1 and OpenType formats, source files for MetaType1 plus all requisites for using the fonts with TeX/pdfTeX; there is one set of PostScript fonts and five sets of TeX Font Metric files, corresponding to: -- EC (Cork) encoding (ec-*.tfm), -- QX encoding (qx-*.tfm), -- TeX'n'ANSI aka LY1 encoding (texnansi-*.tfm), -- T5 (Vietnamese) encoding (t5-*.tfm), -- Text Companion for EC fonts aka TS1 (ts1-*.tfm). LaTeX *.sty and *.fd files were also added plus a few test files. Most important recent changes: 1. There is 12 fonts more, mainly tt light (tl), light condensed (tlc) and dark (tk) lmtk10, lmtko10 lmtl10, lmtlo10 lmtlc10, lmtlco10 lmvtk10, lmvtko10 lmvtl10, lmvtlo10 plus two fonts apparently missing their oblique counterpart: lmro17 lmtcso10 2. Experimentally, we included proportional digits, but their metrics almost surely will be chaned. 3. Apart from Knuthian asymmetric double quotes we introduced double quotes without extra space at the sidebearings. The old quotes will be used only in substitutions. Here also metrics may need an adjustment, namely, kerning pairs. 4. A few new glyph were added, a few glyphs were corrected. 5. Internal PostScript names of the fonts were uniformized (it has something to do with the grouping of OTF files into families). -- Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

Location on CTAN: /support/runtex/runtex.zip Summary description: runs TeX or a variant and various utils if needed (windows) License type: pd Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A Win32 program(me) that tries to guess the number of times - if you neglected to tell it how often - [pdf][e][La]TeX should be executed and which other utilities - currently makeindex, xindy, MetaPost, MetaFont, and BibTeX - if at all are run after the first TeX run. Temporary files will be deleted if nothing went wrong and you told it to. Not all the functionality got tested (don't use BibTeX or glossaries currently) but it ought to work if I haven't overlooked any bugs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- In addition, the source code is available as /support/runtex/runtex_src.zip Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the ANSI/POSIX C source code for runtex. As I use MinGW I don't know if the makefile does anything useful if run with MSVC, but I have my doubts. It shouldn't take too much effort to port it to unix if one wants to, but some ANSI/POSIX functions were defined differently by MS so it won't compile out of the box, sorry. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

Barbara Beeton has updated her master list of hyphenation exceptions for U.S. English. The updates to the list will appear in the forthcoming issue of TUGboat. The complete list, with plurals and other variants included, is now available on CTAN, in info/digests/tugboat: ushyphex.tex - the generated list, suitable for passing to TeX tb0hyf.tex - the source for the list hyphenex.sh - the (shell/sed) script which generates the former from the latter, courtesy of Werner Lemberg. If you actually try to input the list unaltered, you will find that it is currently over 1000 exceptions, which will overflow the limit in many distributions (e.g., TeX Live 2004). The default limit will be increased in future releases; meanwhile, for Web2C-based distributions, you can increase hyph_size in texmf.cnf (8191 is a good number). If any questions or problems, or you find additional exceptions are needed, please email tugboa (at) tug.org. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/digests/tugboat .

Various options are available for visual markup using standard latex packages such as color.sty. Changes not directly affecting visible text, for example in formatting commands, are still marked in the latex source. A rudimentary revision facilility is provided by another Perl script, latexrevise, which accepts or rejects all changes. Manual editing of the difference file can be used to override this default behaviour and accept or reject selected changes only. This is a significant update (from version 0.2 to 0.3). Major changes are the introduction of CVS support, and much improved reliability for inlined math, plus several bug fixes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the update.
