----- Forwarded message from Harald Harders <h.harders(a)tu-bs.de> ----- I have uploaded kerntest-v1_10.tar.gz to ftp.dante.de. Please unpack it to macros/latex/contrib/kerntest. License is LPPL. >From the README: Print tables and generate mtx files that help to adjust kernings This class makes it easy to generate tables that show many different kerning pairs of an arbitrary font, usable by LaTeX. It shows the kerning values that are used by the the font by default. In addition, this class enables the user to alternate the kernings and to observe the results. Automatically, an mtx file is generated that can be loaded by fontinst to introduce the user-made kernings into the virtual font for LaTeX. The Makefile contains the item `texlive' for producing a TeXLive directory structure. An xml file is contained for the catalogue. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload.

CTAN submission -- chroma

----- Forwarded message from ctan-upload ----- Name of contribution: chroma Name and email: Uwe Kern <chroma(a)ukern.de> Suggested location on CTAN: info/colour/chroma Summary description: Chroma: a reference book of LaTeX colors License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- v1.00 (2004/04/04) This reference book presents several lists of colors and their respective parameters in a number of color models. The lists are constructed either by parameters or by name. `Colors by parameters' displays systematic series of colors, based on 3-tuples of numbers that are interpreted as color parameters in the `rgb', `cmy', and `hsb' color models. `Colors by name' displays sets of colors that have been given specific names such that LaTeX users do not have to care about their parametrisation. However, as soon as there is the intention to use these colors outside the LaTeX world (e.g. website construction or drawing programs), the parameters suddenly gain importance. For each color name, we display - the color itself plus the name of the underlying model, - a 50%-tint (mixture with `white'), - a 50%-tone (mixture with `gray'), - a 50%-shade (mixture with `black'), - and the complementary color. Additionally, for the base colors defined by the `xcolor' package, also all 50%-mixes of base color pairs are included. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- XML file: ********************************************************************** <?xml version=1.0?> <!DOCTYPE entry SYSTEM ../catalogue.dtd> <entry id=chroma datestamp=2004/04/04 modifier=ftpmaint(a)dante.ctan.org> <about> <name>chroma</name> <caption>Chroma: a reference book of LaTeX colors</caption> <author> <name>Uwe Kern</name> <email>chroma(a)ukern.de</email> </author> <license type=lppl /> </about> <description> <abstract> v1.00 (2004/04/04) This reference book presents several lists of colors and their respective parameters in a number of color models.
