CTAN update -- pkfix 1.2
by CTAN Announcements 29 Jan '05

29 Jan '05

On Sat, 29 Jan 2005, Heiko Oberdiek submitted version 1.2 of the package pkfix Short description of pkfix: Some PostScript files with bitmapped fonts contain comments, added by dvips. Then pkfix tries to find the type 1 versions of the font and replaces them. License: LPPL Location on CTAN: support/pkfix/ Changes of v1.2: * Bug fix: Merging is now based on type 1 names. This solves the problem, if different bitmap fonts maps to the same type 1 font, eg. (ecrm1000, larm1000) -> SFRM1000. * Suppression of PK generation, if environment variable MKTEXPK is supported. * If output file is - (standard output) then messages of pkfix are written to standard error output, resulting in better pipe support. Changes of v1.1: * Bug fix: embedded encodings are now detected and used. * The temporary dvi files are now written directly. Thus pkfix does not depend on TeX (but on dvips) and runs faster. Thanks for the update, I installed it. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

CTAN update: PSNFS 9.2 update (encoding vector 8r.enc)
by CTAN Announcements 27 Jan '05

27 Jan '05

On Thu, 27 Jan 2005, Walter Schmidt submitted an updated version of the file 8r.enc containing a PostScript encoding vector for the TeX Base 1 encoding. Announcement: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The update affects the comment (file header) only: The version number has been changed from 2.0pre to 2.0. Rationale: Initially, this version of 8r.enc was meant to be a _preliminary_ release only. However, no further changes turned out to be necessary ever, so I always forgot to remove the pre from the version string. This sloppiness of mine may have contributed to some recent confusion regarding the correct version of the file. Note that the date string in the file header is unchanged, i.e, 30 October 2002, because it should stay in sync with the change log of the corresponding encoding file 8r.etx in the Fontinst distribution. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload, I installed the file.

CTAN Upload - BaKoMa TeX Word - True WYSIWYG LaTeX Editor
by CTAN Announcements 26 Jan '05

26 Jan '05

On Mon, 24 Jan 2005, Basil Malyshev submitted an update for BaKoMa TeX 7.0 (issued 23-Jan-2004). Location on CTAN: nonfree/systems/win32/bakoma Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important feature of BaKoMa TeX 7 is one new program: `BaKoMa TeX Word'. Key Features: BaKoMa TeX Word is True WYSIWYG LaTeX Editor. The word `True' is used to highlight two following facts: 1) It is True WYSIWYG Editor. It means that display shows precisely the same what will be printed. It looks such that you edit your document immediately in DVI Viewer. 2) It is True LaTeX Editor. It edits LaTeX source text without any import/export procedure. It means that you can load and edit any LaTeX 2e document. BaKoMa TeX Word is built on top of BaKoMa TeX graphic engine and consequently it inherits all features of BaKoMa TeX related with import graphics, font support, and document export. So, it imports: EPS, PDF, JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, PCX, MSP, BMP, WMF, EMF, FIG, HPGL, and DXY. It supports fonts: OpenType (OTF/TTF), TrueType, Postscript Type1 (including MM), Type 3, and TeX PK/VF. It exports: DVI, PDF, SVG, PS, PNG (with HTML wrapper), and HTML (TeX4HT). It includes built-in PostScript interpreter accessible via DVIPS compatible special interface that supports such macro packages as: Prosper, PSTricks, PSFrag, graphics (psfig), draftcopy, etc. Editing Prosper's slides in WYSIWTYG interface is one impressive feature of `BaKoMa TeX Word'. Another important application of `BaKoMa TeX Word' is final step corrections of LaTeX papers before publishing. More information about `BaKoMa TeX Word' is at: <http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/win32/bakoma/programs/texword.html> Some snapshots are available at: <http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/win32/bakoma/snapshots/> Root of BaKoMa TeX distributions is at: <http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/win32/bakoma/> -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the update, I installed it.
