by CTAN Announcements 08 Nov '10

On Mon, 8 Nov 2010 Dirk Krause submitted an update of his dktools package. Summary description: Tools and libraries by Dirk Krause. License type: other-free Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bugfix release. Due to an if(stat64(...)) instead of an if(stat64(...) == 0) in the dksf_must_rebuild() function the make mode of bmeps, fig2vect and tracecc did not work properly on systems with the stat64() function available. This is fixed now. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/dktools .

elsevier and elsevier-bib packages
by CTAN Announcements 08 Nov '10

08 Nov '10

the elsevier and elsevier-bib packages have been superseded by elsarticle. however, elsevier's web site seems to be accruing updates to the obsolete packages, but elsevier seem unwilling to upload newer versions to ctan. the ctan team has therefore deleted both packages, in order to minimise confusion.

CTAN Update: installfont
by CTAN Announcements 07 Nov '10

On Sun, 7 Nov 2010 Josef Kleber submitted an update to the installfont package. Summary description: A bash script for installing a LaTeX font family. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- With this script you can install a LaTeX font family (Postscript Type1, Truetype, Opentype). It supports font series from light to ultra bold + (faked) small caps + faked slanted, but no expert fonts. The script will rename the fonts automatically (optinal) or will otherwise expect *.afm files and the font files (in Postscript Type1 format!) named in the Karl Berry scheme (e.g. 5nar8a.pfb). After running the script, you should have a working font installation in your local TeX tree. License: LPPL New in v1.6a: - Bugfix: RequirePackage{softmakerfreefont} got lost in the last update ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/installfont .
