CTAN update: Latin Modern lm0992
by CTAN Announcements 06 Sep '05

06 Sep '05

On Tue, 6 Sep 2005, Staszek Wawrykiewicz submitted an update to the Latin Modern fonts (lm) package. Authors: JNSteam License: GPL Location on CTAN: fonts/lm Note that the directory contains an extra file lm0.99.2mt1.zip, containing fonts sources for MetaType1. The Latin Modern family of fonts is based on the Computer Modern fonts in the PostScript Type 1 format, released into public domain by the American Mathematical Society. The fonts, as compared to the CM family, contain a lot of additional characters, mainly accented ones, but not only. The current distribution contains: Latin Modern fonts in the PostScript Type 1 and OpenType formats, source files for MetaType1 plus all requisites for using the fonts with TeX/pdfTeX; there is one set of PostScript fonts and five sets of TeX Font Metric files, corresponding to: -- EC (Cork) encoding (ec-*.tfm), -- QX encoding (qx-*.tfm), -- TeX'n'ANSI aka LY1 encoding (texnansi-*.tfm), -- T5 (Vietnamese) encoding (t5-*.tfm), -- Text Companion for EC fonts aka TS1 (ts1-*.tfm). LaTeX *.sty and *.fd files were also added plus a few test files. Most important recent changes: 1. corrected some bugs in kerning (introduced incidentally in ver. 0.99.1) 2. .map and .enc files were uniformized. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

CTAN update: poemscol 2.38
by CTAN Announcements 05 Sep '05

05 Sep '05

On Mon, 5 Sep 2005 John Burt submitted an update to the poemscol package. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/poemscol Summary description: macros for typesetting critical editions of poetry License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Checked cases where macros might introduce extra white space. Made sure that line numbers for verse, prose, and paragraph-sentence prose line up. Fixed overlapping of paragraph and line numbers for paragraph-sentence mode. Up to four sentences can appear on a line in paragraph-line mode without having their marginal line numbers overlap. Fixed a bug that added an extra colon in footnotes in paragraph-sentence format. Changed ``gutter'' and ``outer'' line numbering in verse and paragraph-sentence prose to use Peter Wilson's sidepars rather than marginpars. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.
