25 Aug '11

On Thu, 25 Aug 2011 Pavel Farar submitted an update to the dejavu package. Summary description: LaTeX support for the fonts DejaVu License type: other-free Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package contains LaTeX support for the fonts DejaVu. They are derived from the Vera fonts and contain more characters and styles. Changes: - Added the QX encoding (requested by Mojca Miklavec). - Added the LGR encoding (it may be usable as it is, but I think that it needs an improvement--see the documentation). - I moved the documentation of the fonts to its own subdirectory. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts .

CTAN update: mimeTeX
by CTAN Announcements 25 Aug '11

25 Aug '11

the daemon came along with: > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: mimeTeX > Author's name: John Forkosh > Package version: 1.72 > Location on CTAN: support/mimetex/ > Summary description: mimeTeX lets you easily embed LaTeX math in your html pages > License type: gpl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > General info: mimeTeX lets you easily embed LaTeX math in your html > pages. It parses a LaTeX math expression and immediately emits the > corresponding gif image, rather than a TeX dvi. And mimeTeX is an > entirely separate little program that doesn't need TeX or its > fonts. It's just one cgi that you put in your site's cgi-bin/ > directory, with no other dependencies. So mimeTeX is very easy to > install. And it's equally easy to use. Just place an html <img> tag in > your document wherever you want to see a LaTeX math expression.
