Summary description: LaTeX support for the Droid font families

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Droid typeface family was designed in the fall of 2006 by
Ascender's Steve Matteson, as a commission from Google to create a
set of system fonts for its Android platform. The goal was to provide
optimal quality and comfort on a mobile handset when rendered in
application menus, web browsers and for other screen text. The Droid

licensed under the Apache License Version 2.0, and available in the
Android Git tree.
This package provides support for this font in LaTeX. It is licensed under
the LaTeX project public license version 1.3c or above, except the fonts
delivered under the Apache License version 2.0. Notice that this
package does not support the Droid Pro family sold by the Ascender

Summary description: Put LaTeX material over included graphics
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The package lpic defines convenient interface to put any
LaTeX material on top of included graphics.
LaTeX material could also be rotated and typeset on top of a white
box overshadowing graphics. Coordinates of LaTeX boxes are
given relative to the original, unscaled graphics, when graphics is
rescaled, LaTeX annotations stay at their right places (unless you
do something extreme). In a draft mode it allows to draw a coordinate
grid over the picture for easy adjustment of positions of the annotations.

The fldigigal package uses the rmannot package (Adobe

Distiller embeds in the PDF. The digitals may be

filesize). Three layouts of are offered at this time:
vertical thumbnails, horizontal thumbnails, or no
thumbnails.
