Location on CTAN: /support/fig2vect Summary description: Converter from *.fig to *.mp, *.eps, *.pdf, *.svg and *.tex License type: bsd Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bugfix: In former versions the PDF output driver silently aborted operation without error messages when problems with embedded PNG images occured. This is fixed, an error message was added. Modification: the scripts/comment.txt file was changed. Occurances of -- were replaced by - except in the comment delimiters. SVG versions of the Ghostscript fonts with the old version of comment.txt included were sometimes not processed by Squiggle on Windows, although I think the old version was syntactically correct too. The new version allows to create SVG fonts which avoid the problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the update. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

CTAN update: babelbib 1.11
by CTAN Announcements 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

On Sun, 12 Jun 2005, Harald Harders submitted a new version of the babelbib package to CTAN. License: LPPL Location: CTAN/biblio/bibtex/contrib/babelbib >From the README: This package enables to generate multilingual bibliographies in cooperation with babel. Two approaches are possible: Each citation may be written in another language, or the whole bibliography can be typeset in a language chosen by the user. The current version supports Afrikaans, Danish, Dutch, English, Esperanto, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Swedish. In addition, the package supports commands to change the typography of the bibliographies. Many of the standard and extended bibliography styles are available. ChangeLog: 2005/06/12 1.11 Harald Harders (h.harders(a)tu-bs.de) - Avoid some additional line breaks in author and editor names. - Switch ISBN and ISSN in bibliographies on and off (does not work for AmS style). - Remove space after txurlfont because a linebreak between url and the argument breaks hyperref.sty (which is a pity because this can lead to line-break problems with long arguments). 2005/05/24 1.10 Harald Harders (h.harders(a)tu-bs.de) - Allow different ordering of forenames and lastnames. - Protect the foreignlanguage calls (avoids problems with natbib). - Bug in Portuguese removed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the update.

In the `nccmath' package, new medium-size commands are introduced: mfrac is an intermediate fraction between dfrac and frac; mbinom is the medium-size binom; the medint and medop produce medium-size integrals and sum-like operators; mmatrix and medsize environments allow smaller matrices and formulas. In the `nccsect' package, the compatibility with the `supertabular' and `longtable' packages is provided; captions control is improved; epigraph and eforechapter hooks are introduced; StartFromTextArea and StartFromHeaderArea commands are introduced. In the `manyfoot' package, the SetFootnoteHook command is introduced. In the `dcounter' package, an existing counter can work now as a dynamic counter. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ncctools although you may get a better network connection by visiting a mirror of CTAN that is near to you; see http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/README.mirrors .

by CTAN Announcements 02 Jun '05

02 Jun '05

On Wed, 1 Jun 2005 Dirk Krause submitted a new package fig2vect to CTAN. Name of contribution: fig2vect-1.0.0 Location on CTAN: /support/fig2vect Summary description: Yet another Fig to vector converter License type: bsd Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The fig2vect program converts figures from jFig, XFig and WinFig to MetaPost, EPS, PDF, TeX and SVG. The primary web site for source and docu is http://fig2vect.sourceforge.net . Program highlights: - Designed for use with LaTeX/pdfLaTeX. Handling of special text is left up to LaTeX, for non-special text you can choose whether or not to use LaTeX. For text handled by LaTeX you have three choices: - Use the fonts exactly as specified in the Fig file. - Convert to use fonts in the same features (serif/sans-serif/monospaced, normal/bold, upright/italic). This allows to use the same font families in the graphics as in the document where the graphics is included. - Write no font selection commands (text contains commands itself if necessary). - X-splines are approximated by a sequence of Bezier spline segments. - Fill patterns are drawn by vector graphics operations. - Image width and height are found by inspecting graphics elements (except texts), the paper format name is not used here. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

The material below has been changed on tug.ctan.org and those changes should soon propagate to your favorite mirror. Thank you for the work, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: ushyph Author's name: Karl Berry Location on CTAN: /language/hyphenation Summary description: repackaging of additional US hyphenation patterns License type: dfsg Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Some of the files of US hyphenation patterns have been adjusted slightly. There are no changes to the actual patterns. ushyph.tex - updated license and comments. ushyph1.tex - a symlink to Knuth's patterns in systems/knuth/lib/hyphen.tex ushyph2.tex - a symlink to ushyph.tex; before it was a bare list of patterns, but that's inconvenient to actually use in the distributions. ushyphmax.tex - includes DEK's original patterns + exceptions from hyphen.tex, so the file becomes self-contained, like ushyph.tex. Kuiken approved these changes. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at these files at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/language/hyphenation although you may get a better network connection by visiting a mirror of CTAN that is near to you; see http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/README.mirrors .
