by FTP archive maintainer 23 Sep '05

The package below has been updated on tug.ctan.org and should soon make its way to your favorite mirror. Thanks, Scott, for the on-going contribution, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List Author's name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: /tex-archive/info/symbols/comprehensive Summary description: Samples of thousands of symbols which are accessible from LaTeX License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbols List is an organized list of 3300 symbols commonly available to LaTeX users. Some of these symbols are guaranteed to be available in every TeX distribution. Others require font files that come with some, but not all, TeX distributions. The rest require font files that must be downloaded explicitly from CTAN (http://www.ctan.org) and installed. The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbols List currently showcases symbols from 83 separate typefaces. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/symbols/comprehensive .

CTAN upload: graphicx-psmin
by CTAN Announcements 23 Sep '05

23 Sep '05

On Wed, 21 Sep 2005, Hendri Adriaens submitted a new package graphicx-psmin to CTAN. This package is an extension of the standard graphics bundle and provides a way to include repeated postscript graphics (ps, eps) only once in a postscript document. This provides a way to get smaller postscript documents when having, for instance, a logo on every page. This package only works when post-processed with dvips, which should at least have version 5.95b! The difference for the pdf file is minimal (as ghostscript already includes only a single copy of graphics files).

CTAN has a new package: otftofd
by CTAN Announcements 19 Sep '05

19 Sep '05

A new package has been installed at tug.ctan.org and is now making its way to your favorite mirror. Thank you for the contribution, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: otftofd Author's name: Geoffrey Washburn Location on CTAN: /fonts/utilities/otftofd Summary description: otftofd is a script to help with the task of generating a NFSS font description file and a map file from a large collection of OpenType fonts. License type: gpl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- otftofd is a script I wrote to help the task of generating a NFSS font description file and a map file from a large collection of OpenType fonts. In particular, when considering Adobe Pro Optical fonts, there is almost a combinatorial nightmare when attempting to create these files by hand. This software is still probably alpha quality and mostly designed specifically for Adobe font conventions. It currently has experimental support for generating swashed versions of a font and fonts consisting of ornaments. There is some preliminary support for selecting encodings, but it is far from complete. The tool has been mostly tested with the T1 Cork encoding. For more information about using the tool, invoke it with the --help option. otftofd is written in CaSH (Caml Shell) and additionally requires Eddie Kohler's excellent LCDF Typetools. ofttofd was originally called adobe-font-tool, but at the suggestion of CTAN it was renamed to hopefully be more descriptive. otftofd is licensed under the FSF General Public License. Do not hesitate to send me bug reports or fixes, other improvements, or suggestions. Contact me via e-mail at washburn(a)acm.org. There is a public, read-only, Subversion repository for otftofd at https://svn.cis.upenn.edu/svnroot/otftofd/. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/utilities/otftofd .
