CTAN update: new LM fonts
by CTAN Announcements 01 Sep '05

01 Sep '05

On Thu, 1 Sep 2005, Staszek Wawrykiewicz submitted an update to the Latin Modern fonts (lm) package. Package: Latin Modern fonts Authors: JNSteam License: GPL Location on CTAN: fonts/lm Note that the directory contains an extra file lm0.99.1mt1.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. There is 12 fonts more, mainly tt light (tl), light condensed (tlc) and dark (tk) lmtk10, lmtko10 lmtl10, lmtlo10 lmtlc10, lmtlco10 lmvtk10, lmvtko10 lmvtl10, lmvtlo10 plus two fonts apparently missing their oblique counterpart: lmro17 lmtcso10 2. Experimentally, we included proportional digits, but their metrics almost surely will be chaned. 3. Apart from Knuthian asymmetric double quotes we introduced double quotes without extra space at the sidebearings. The old quotes will be used only in substitutions. Here also metrics may need an adjustment, namely, kerning pairs. 4. A few new glyph were added, a few glyphs were corrected. 5. Internal PostScript names of the fonts were uniformized (it has something to do with the grouping of OTF files into families). -- Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

CTAN upload: runtex
by CTAN Announcements 30 Aug '05

30 Aug '05

On Mon, 29 Aug 2005, Bernd Becker submitted a new package called runtex to CTAN. Location on CTAN: /support/runtex/runtex.zip Summary description: runs TeX or a variant and various utils if needed (windows) License type: pd Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A Win32 program(me) that tries to guess the number of times - if you neglected to tell it how often - [pdf][e][La]TeX should be executed and which other utilities - currently makeindex, xindy, MetaPost, MetaFont, and BibTeX - if at all are run after the first TeX run. Temporary files will be deleted if nothing went wrong and you told it to. Not all the functionality got tested (don't use BibTeX or glossaries currently) but it ought to work if I haven't overlooked any bugs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- In addition, the source code is available as /support/runtex/runtex_src.zip Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the ANSI/POSIX C source code for runtex. As I use MinGW I don't know if the makefile does anything useful if run with MSVC, but I have my doubts. It shouldn't take too much effort to port it to unix if one wants to, but some ANSI/POSIX functions were defined differently by MS so it won't compile out of the box, sorry. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.
