CTAN Update: KOMA-Script

27 Jan '11

On Tue, 25 Jan 2011 an update was submitted to CTAN: koma-script Summary description: KOMA-Script a versatile LaTeX2e bundle License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- KOMA-Script is a versatile bundle of LaTeX2e document classes and packages. It aims to be a replacement to the standard LaTeX2e classes. KOMA-Script does not stop with the features known from the standard classes, but it extends the possibilities in order to provide the user an almost complete working environment. Classes at KOMA-Script: scrartcl, scrbook, scrdoc (internal), scrguide (internal), scrlettr (obsolete), scrlttr2, scrreprt. Packages at KOMA-Script: scraddr, scrbase, scrdate, scrextend, scrhack (beta), scrjura (beta), scrkbase (sub-package used by KOMA-Script classes and packages), scrlfile, scrpage (obsolete), scrpage2, scrtime, tocbasic, tocstyle (alpha), typearea. Main documentation files: scrguide.pdf (german), scrguien.pdf (english), scrhack.pdf (english), scrjura.pdf (german), tocstyle.pdf (english). Note: Some of the classes and packages have their own version number different from the KOMA-Script main version number. For a detailed list of changes see <http://www.komascript.de/release> (in german) or <http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=4307> (in english) or simply the ChangeLog inside the archive. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script/ . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=koma-script (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

CTAN has a new package: mathastext
by CTAN Announcements 27 Jan '11

27 Jan '11

This should be at your local mirror. Regards, Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College ...................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: mathastext Version number: 1.0 Author's name: Jean-Francois Burnol Summary description: use text font also in math License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The mathastext package propagates the document text font to mathematical mode, for the letters of the Latin alphabet and, optionally, some further ASCII-127 characters. Thus it makes possible (for a document with simple mathematics) to use a quite arbitrary font without worrying too much that it does not have specially designed accompanying math fonts. Also, mathastext provides a simple mechanism in order to use many different choices of (text hence, now, math) fonts in the same document (not that we recommend it!). A final aspect is that mathastext helps produce smaller PDF files. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/mathastext . Information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/mathastext (it may take a day for the information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
