CTAN Submission -- CM-Super font package v0.3.0
by Reinhard Zierke 12 Oct '01

12 Oct '01

----- Forwarded message from Vladimir Volovich ----- Dear CTAN maintainers, i'm uploading the CM-Super package to ftp://ftp.dante.de/incoming/cm-super-0.3.0.tar.gz It contains Type 1 fonts which cover entirely EC, TC and LH fonts (see the README below for more information). License conditions: GPL. Please install it where you think it is more appropriate: CTAN:fonts/psfonts/cm-super/ or CTAN:fonts/ps-type1/cm-super/ You have recently installed the similar package Tt2001 under CTAN:fonts/ps-type1/ec/. Compared to the Tt2001 package, this package * covers much bigger set of fonts (all cyrillic encodings are added, and eventually also other encodings like greek and vietnamese) * has the fonts optimized and hinted * has more exact (non-INT) glyph widths and more correct parameters like ItalicAngle, Weight, isFixedPitch, etc. * has more correct (AGL-compliant) glyph names (esp. for non-EC fonts), which makes the fonts usable in non-TeX applications, too * is more compact (contains all glyphs from one font shape combined in one PFB file -- superfont). if one will use the approach with separate files for all supported encodings, the package will be 6 times bigger in size (and in number of font files). while supporting much bigger number of glyphs than Tt2001 package, the CM-Super package is even smaller! (partially because of font optimization) * contains some additional glyph variants like german sharp s which looks like in CM fonts * includes AFM files (useful for non-TeX applications) [but Tt2001 package contains some additional non-EC and non-TC fonts which are not and will not be covered by CM-Super package] See the ChangeLog for list of changes from previous versions. The README file follows. Best, v. ========================================================================= CM-Super font package version 0.3.0 (October 11, 2001) Copyright (c) 2001 Vladimir Volovich <vvv(a)vsu.ru>.

You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA The CM-Super package contains Type 1 fonts converted from METAFONT fonts and covers entire EC/TC and LH fonts (Computer Modern font families). All European and Cyrillic writings are covered. Each Type 1 font program contains ALL glyphs from the following standard LaTeX font encodings: T1, TS1, T2A, T2B, T2C, X2, and also Adobe StandardEncoding (585 glyphs per non-SC font and 468 glyphs per SC font), and could be reencoded to any of these encodings using standard dvips or pdftex facilities (the corresponding support files are also included). The goal was to provide full support for a wide number of fonts used in LaTeX, and at the same time minimize the number and total size of font files. Each Type 1 font shares all common glyphs which are present in supported encodings. E.g. Latin letters, Russian letters, accents and a number of other glyphs which are present in more than one font encoding are stored only once in Type 1 fonts. These Type 1 fonts could be used as a drop-in replacement for LaTeX's EC, TC, and LH fonts to create Postscript and PDF documents with vector fonts (if you used METAFONT versions of EC, TC or LH fonts, no changes to your LaTeX documents are required to use these Type 1 fonts once you have them installed). You will still need the METAFONT sources of these fonts to be able to generate needed TFM metric files (once you have them generated, METAFONT will not be used). You could also prepare EPS or PDF illustrations in your favorite applications with texts written using these fonts, and then include them in your LaTeX documents. These fonts could be used not only in TeX-related applications, but also as all other Type 1 text fonts, e.g. in Windows (and you will be able to typeset multilingual texts using them). Font file names correspond to the scheme used in EC fonts, with the first two letters sf (super font) instead of ec. E.g., sfrm1000.pfb contains all glyphs from: ecrm1000, tcrm1000, larm1000, lbrm1000, lcrm1000, rxrm1000. The third and fourth letters in the font name correspond to font shape. The list of provided font shapes is included below: rm: Computer Modern Roman sl: Computer Modern Slanted ti: Computer Modern Italic cc: Computer Modern Caps and Small Caps ui: Computer Modern Unslanted Italic sc: Computer Modern Slanted Caps and Small Caps ci: Computer Modern Classical Serif Italic bx: Computer Modern Bold Extended bl: Computer Modern Bold Extended Slanted bi: Computer Modern Bold Extended Italic xc: Computer Modern Bold Extended Caps and Small Caps oc: Computer Modern Bold Extended Slanted Caps and Small Caps rb: Computer Modern Roman Bold bm: Computer Modern Roman Bold Variant ss: Computer Modern Sans Serif si: Computer Modern Sans Serif Slanted sx: Computer Modern Sans Serif Bold Extended so: Computer Modern Sans Serif Bold Extended Slanted tt: Computer Modern Typewriter st: Computer Modern Typewriter Slanted it: Computer Modern Typewriter Italic tc: Computer Modern Typewriter Caps and Small Caps vt: Computer Modern Variable Width Typewriter vi: Computer Modern Variable Width Typewriter Italic dh: Computer Modern Dunhill Roman fb: Computer Modern Fibonacci Medium fs: Computer Modern Fibonacci Slanted ff: Computer Modern Funny Roman fi: Computer Modern Funny Italic Each font shape comes in 14 font sizes ranging from 5pt to 35.83pt (or 11 font sizes for typewriter fonts ranging from 8pt to 35.83pt). Also, the following 13 one-sized font shapes are included: sflq8: Computer Modern SliTeX Sans Serif Quotation sfli8: Computer Modern SliTeX Sans Serif Quotation Inclined sflb8: Computer Modern SliTeX Sans Serif Quotation Bold sflo8: Computer Modern SliTeX Sans Serif Quotation Bold Oblique sfltt8: Computer Modern LaTeX Typewriter isflq8: Computer Modern SliTeX Sans Serif Quotation Invisible isfli8: Computer Modern SliTeX Sans Serif Quotation Inclined Invisible isflb8: Computer Modern SliTeX Sans Serif Quotation Bold Invisible isflo8: Computer Modern SliTeX Sans Serif Quotation Bold Oblique Invisible isfltt8: Computer Modern LaTeX Typewriter Invisible sfsq8: Computer Modern Sans Serif Quotation sfqi8: Computer Modern Sans Serif Quotation Inclined sfssdc10: Computer Modern Sans Serif Demi Condensed Fonts were created using TeXtrace (based on AutoTrace and Ghostscript), t1utils and a bunch of Perl scripts, and were optimized and hinted using FontLab 3.1. The set of UniqueID values was registered at Adobe. We use AGL compliant glyph names when possible (there are some glyphs which are neither present in AGL nor in Unicode). I'd like to thank Peter Szabo for TeXtrace, Martin Weber for AutoTrace, and FontLab Ltd. for providing a copy of FontLab. It should be noted that while creating these fonts we intentionally and on principle used only automatic methods which do not require font designers talents. The aim was to use TOTALLY automatic conversion of METAFONT fonts to Type 1 format, automatic optimization and hinting, with the best achievable quality of final Type 1 fonts, to be able to re-generate the fonts if necessary (e.g. when a new version of original METAFONT fonts will be released). Undoubtedly, there are fields for improvement of this approach, which we will use in future versions of the fonts, but even now the fonts seem to look and print quite good (we hope :-). It appears that careless approach to FontLab's optimization and auto-hinting facilities could lead to loss of quality of the original font (some glyph shapes could be broken), so we used the most precise optimization, and hope that optimized and hinted fonts are indeed better than original traced fonts (also, they are significantly smaller in size). So far, we did not find any bugs in optimized fonts. Note that a small number of (fortunately, rarely used) fonts are not included yet because of the bugs in EC font drivers which prevented their generation. We plan to provide these missing fonts soon. (Currently there are 376 Type 1 font files here, of total 401.) The CM-Super package could be freely downloaded from CTAN:fonts/ps-type1/cm-super and also from ftp://ftp.vsu.ru/pub/tex/font-packs/cm-super/ (see also ftp://ftp.vsu.ru/pub/tex/README for a list of mirrors) The total size of all PFB files is about 53.3 Mb (AFM files are provided, too, for use with non-TeX applications). To install this package in teTeX or TeX Live systems, copy all Type 1 fonts (*.pfb files) to .../texmf/fonts/type1/public/cm-super/ directory and install the MAP (*.map) and ENC (*.enc) files to their usual place (e.g. under .../texms/dvips/cm-super/), and instruct dvips and pdftex to use these MAP files (e.g. using the updmap script). Do not forget to update the texmf filename database (run mktexlsr). If you wish to use the original CM germandbls (sharp s) shape, rather than the new EC one, change germandbls to germandbls.alt in t1.enc. Although this package is provided AS IS, WITHOUT WARRANTY (as explained in the file PUBLIC), we welcome your comments and bug reports which should be sent to the email address given above. Happy TeXing! ========================================================================= ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the huge submission.

CTAN submission -- eline.sty: english lines
by Reinhard Zierke 07 Oct '01

07 Oct '01

----- Forwarded message from Tobias Dussa ----- I have just uploaded a rather small style file for producing english lines (i. e. lines that are thicker in the middle than at the ends). The package is just one style file and quite simple. I have placed it in incoming/texmf of ftp.dante.de; the file is called eline.sty. I would assume that it would best be added to someplace in macros/generic, as it is coded entirely with plain TeX commands. I did not much think about the licensing issue much, so I just allow all uses and modifications, as long as a reference to the original author is kept. Also, it is made clear that no responsibility is assumed by myself. (If you think that it would be much better to just use the GPL or whatever, then please go ahead and drop me a note. I am not experienced in publishing TeX macro packages, so I am grateful for any help, but I suppose that such an effort is not warranted for such a small package.) ----- End forwarded message ----- Thansk for the submission.

Quick and dirty UNIX shell command to find the missing fonts: ls `awk -F '<' '/^[a-z]/{print$2}' <ecpfb.map` 2>&1 >/dev/null | awk -F ':' '{print substr($2,2)}' TeXtrace is available from the net: http://textrace.sf.net TeXtrace was first presented at EuroTeX 2001 http://www.ntg.nl/eurotex/.

These Bluesky .pfb fonts (such as cmr10.pfb) are part of the standard teTeX distribution, and are available from CTAN since years ago. Some auxilary fonts (such as the MetaFont logo and the Wasy fonts) were converted to .pfb by Taco Hoekwater, 1998.

CTAN update of biblio/bibtex/utils/bibweb
by Reinhard Zierke 04 Oct '01

04 Oct '01

I have updated CTAN:/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/utils/bibweb to the current version on the author's website (dated Nov 10, 2000). >From the README file: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- bibweb is a utility for automatically retrieving bibliographical information from the American Mathematical Society's MathSciNet program. John Palmieri (engineer) wrote bibweb, and Bill Dwyer (idea man) helped to design it. If you're too lazy to go to the library or use a web browser to find out bibliographical information for that ground-breaking paper you're writing, you can let bibweb do the work for you. You have to use bibtex (which means you have to use latex, I think), and you have to write citations in a particular format, but that's about it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

CTAN submission -- preview-latex
by Reinhard Zierke 04 Oct '01

04 Oct '01

----- Forwarded message from David Kastrup ----- I have uploaded preview-latex-0.5.tar.gz, a package for previewing inline images of equation environments and similar. It needs recent pretest versions of GNU Emacs to work at the current point of time (at least 21.0.105) as well as AucTeX. I have uploaded to ftp.dante.de. I would recommend loading it into a separate directory support/preview-latex and extracting the file README from the archive and placing this file as well as the tar archive into that directory. The license is GPL. I append an excerpt from the README: I do not know where to start. This is the preview-latex project at Sourceforge, <URL:http://sourceforge.net/projects/preview-latex>. There is a mailing list for developers, the web page is <URL:http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/preview-latex-devel> Send a message with just the word `help' as subject or body to preview-latex-devel-request(a)lists.sourceforge.net for more information. Anonymous CVS is available as well. See the Sourceforge web pages for more information. Purpose of the package is to embed LaTeX environments such as display math or figures into the source buffers. By mouse-clicking, you can open the original text. After editing, another click will just run the region in question through LaTeX and redisplay the new results. Thr project is just starting. Current state of affairs: you need to get access to a very recent Emacs 21 version, which at the current time means that you need to be a pretester of Emacs. Versions before 21.0.105 have EPS rendering support that is defective. Direct EPS rendering is in need of improvement and very experimental, so the default setting replaces Emacs internal EPS handling by an indirect rendering mechanism. If you feel capable of helping out with Emacs' EPS interface (meaning that the APIs connecting GhostScript and viewers such as GhostView and xdvi are not a book with seven seals for you), feel free to do so. Report bugs you can reproduce along with the files needed to reproduce them. The new display engine for 21.1 is quite powerful, and some bugs still might be lurking inside. You also need AucTeX installed and working, and probably a fairly recent version of GhostScript. At the current point of time, XEmacs is not supported. This may change in future versions, depending on contributions. Offers to support further development will be appreciated. David Kastrup, <URL:mailto:dakas@users.sourceforge.net> ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed it as suggested (tar archive + README file) in the directory CTAN:/tex-archive/support/preview-latex/ Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

New MiKTeX and LaTeX releases

Andreas Hirsch wrote: > zu meiner Uberraschung musste ich eben auf der MiKTeX-Seite lesen, > dass das jahrliche Update verfugbar ist. > > Ich dachte, sowas erfahrt man hier als erster ... [ Translation: Andreas asks why the MiKTeX update has been announced on the MiKTeX website but not on CTAN ] We send to CTAN-ANN information about things that we manually install on the CTAN hosts unless these are minor updates (whatever that is). Lots of other things get mirrored from other sites though, e.g. MiKTeX. Unfortunately we can't announce such things regularly as we would have to wade through each updated package, analyse the - hopefully existent - readme files, etc. Therefore we have to trust the owners of packages mirrored to CTAN to announce their new versions by themselves. Of course we are glad if they send us a release/update notice that we can forward to CTAN-ANN. Having said all this, I should add that the LaTeX release <2001/06/01> is on CTAN for two days now.

CTAN submission -- BrushScriptX-Italic PS Type-1 fonts (update)
by Reinhard Zierke 25 Sep '01

25 Sep '01

I have installed an update of the Type-1 font BrushScriptX-Italic by Maurizio Loreti in CTAN:/tex-archive/fonts/brushscr. >From the README file: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This directory contains: a Type-1 font named BrushScriptX-Italic, that simulates hand-written characters; all the files needed by LaTeX in order to use that font; a file AAA_readme.tex that fully describes the package; two example files. History: - The original (public domain) NeXT screen font has been edited, with a Type-1 font editor named TypeSmith, on an Amiga computer. The service files have been generated using the fontinst package by Alan Jeffrey. - Having TypeSmith generated a buggy font, Louis Vosloo of Y&Y, with enormous courtesy, has fixed the font in his spare time (I no longer had an Amiga computer, or a font editor of any kind). - Rolf Niepraschk submits a file pbsi.sty . - A more strict dvips (5.86e) refuses to handle the font. Rolf Niepraschk submits a fix, generated by the type1fix perl script. - Having learnt about a free Type-1 font editor called 'pfaedit' by George Williams (http://pfaedit.sourceforge.net) I have completely re-edited the font. Thierry Bouche has been of invaluable help with fontinst. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

CTAN package upgrade: FiXme v1.4
by Jim Hefferon 11 Sep '01

11 Sep '01

An upgrade to the FiXme package has been installed on tug.ctan.org and should make its way through the mirroring process in the next day or two. Thanks for the contribution! Jim Hefferon ftpmaint(a)tug.ctan.org ================================================================== The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: FiXme v1.4 Name: Didier Verna Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/supported/ Summary description: FiXme 1.4 is out. License type: lppl Announcement text: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm happy to release the next version of FiXme (1.4). This version contains one bug fix, plus additional support for the koma-script classes. This package provides you with a way of inserting fixme notes in documents being developped (in draft mode). Such notes can appear in the margin of the document, as index entries, in the log file and as warnings on stdout. It is also possible to summarize them in a list, and in the index. If your document is in a final version, any remaining fixme note will produce an error. FiXme also comes with support for AUC-TeX. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------

CTAN package upgrade: Frankenstein

An upgrade of the Frankenstein package has been installed at tug.ctan.org and should make its way through the mirroring process in the next day or two. Jim Hefferon ftpmaint(a)tug.ctan.org ============================================================ The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: Frankenstein Name: Matt Swift Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/supported/frankenstein Summary description: a collection of LaTeX packages and a Bibtex bibstyle License type: lppl Announcement text: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Cleanup release prior to some more significant work (I hope). Please see README for full package descriptions and ChangeLog for changes. Please note that a preformatted TeX Catalogue database describing these packages is at http://www.shore.net/~swift/latex/swift.db. A web page of description like the TeX Catalogue descriptions is at http://www.shore.net/~swift/latex/. The most important changes are noted here: all: LPPL instead of GPL * achicago.bst: Extensive revisions to documentation. Thanks to Panagiotis Louridas for pointing out a significant bug that would indicate authors with the same last name as the same with a 3-em dash in the bibliography. Major version to 1; reflects non-beta state. * achicago.sty: Depends on slemph and verbatim too now, but not relsize. * newclude.sty: Move from unsupported to supported. Extensive documentation revisions. Incorporation of includex package (working yet? includex still available). Revision and extension of hooks mechanisms. Remove group option. * tag.sto: Add 2d optional argument to include. Revise documentation. * titles.dtx: Changed: ooktitle -> ook, journaltitle -> journal, musictitle -> music, articletitle -> article, playtitle -> play, crafttitle -> craft. Compatibility easily retained in configuration file. New: species, WrapquotesSN, WrapquotesDN, WrapquotesSK, ospacelist (abstraction of what was hard-coded). * titles.cfg: New: ewletlongpoem extitswitch ewletfilm extitswitch ewletessaytitleWrapquotes ewletchaptertitleWrapquotes. * moredefs.sty: Many documentation changes. Change implementation of provideboolean and ewboolean to be compatible with ifthen package. Fix prependto@macro g@prependto@macro so they work. Fix check for defined macro in SaveName. Fix SaveName so it works. Fix GobbleO GobbleMO so they work. * abbrevs.sty: Added emulation of acromake.sty. * lips.sty: New: BracketedLips, olips, Lips, mla package option. * compsci.sty: New: file email. Add hyperlatex package option. * bits.sty: Requires letterhead package -- which I don't think I distribute. Aha, that's why this is unsupported! It may be usable with a dummy letterhead package. * attrib.sty: Add attribcitations. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------

CTAN package upgrade: Frankenbundle, including swiftex.el
by Jim Hefferon 11 Sep '01

11 Sep '01

An upgrade of the Frankenbundle package has been installed on tug.ctan.org and should make its way to the other CTAN sites and mirrors in the next day or two. Jim Hefferon ftpmaint(a)tug.ctan.org ========================================== The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: Frankenbundle, including swiftex.el Name: Matt Swift Location on CTAN: support/frankenbundle Summary description: Develop and distribute groups of LaTeX packages and classe; ALSO Edit doc.sty and normal LaTeX files with GNU Emacs. s and BibTeX bibstyles; License type: gpl Announcement text: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Interim cleanup release prior to some more significant work (I hope). Please see README for a full description and ChangeLog for changes. Please note that a preformatted TeX Catalogue database describing this software is at http://www.shore.net/~swift/latex/swift.db. A web page of description like the TeX Catalogue descriptions is at http://www.shore.net/~swift/latex/. Frankenbundle: Develop and distribute groups of LaTeX packages and classes and BibTeX bibstyles. Frankenbundle allows an author to maintain and distribute a bundle of one or more LaTeX packages and classes and BibTeX bibliography styles, their documentation, and any support files with a high degree of sophistication, consistency, and convenience both for the author and their end users, who will receive the bundle in a form easy to understand and use. The author using Frankenbundle needs a Unix-like environment, GNU Make, and a rudimentary understanding of Makefiles. The end user does not need Make. Frankenbundle also includes swiftex.el: Swiftex.el: Edit doc.sty and normal LaTeX files with GNU Emacs. docTeX mode is for editing buffers containing self-documenting LaTeX code that uses the doc package, including the ltxdoc document class. For these buffers, docTeX mode is IMHO significantly more useful than the alternatives provided by standard Emacs and AUC TeX, though I do intend to merge this code into AUC TeX one day. swifTeX mode is for editing buffers containing normal LaTeX{} files and provides an alternative to the other LaTeX modes. The most important changes are noted here: * Frankenbundle: Handles variety of bundle licenses: LPPL and GPL are preconfigured. Extensive documentation revision. * swiftex.el: Fix `stx-merge-list' for the thousandth time. Additional documentation. Moved user documentation and todo list to swiftex-doc.txt. Begin to implement Emacs customization. Numerous bugfixes. Numerous small extensions. Please note that Frankenbundle is in the public domain and swiftex.el is under the GPL. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------

new version of AMS-LaTeX (2.2)
by Reinhard Zierke 30 Aug '01

30 Aug '01

----- Forwarded message from Barbara Beeton ----- A new version of AMS-TeX has been posted to the AMS server at ftp://ftp.ams.org/tex/amstex This will be mirrored to CTAN into the ../macros/amstex area in due course. This is AMS-TeX version 2.2. It is mostly a bug fix release, but a few important changes have been made: - The copyright notice is no longer reported at run time, and there is no longer an explicit request for use of AMS-TeX to be acknowledged. (A footnote Typeset by AMS-TeX that appears at the bottom of the first page of an article can be removed by the command ologo.) - An explicit subclassyear has been added to facilitate reference to versions of the Mathematics Subject Classification other than the default (1991). - The definition of folio was simplified to include only the page number, permitting auxiliary packages such as index.tex (from texsis) to be used without conflict. - Empty elements (addresses, thanks, subjclass, caption) are checked and extraneous footnotes, punctuation, etc., are suppressed as appropriate. Users of AMS-TeX are advised to consider obtaining this new release. ----- End forwarded message ----- Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team
