CTAN submission -- cmbright fonts in Type 1 format
by Reinhard Zierke 15 Oct '02

15 Oct '02

----- Forwarded message from Harald Harders ----- I have uploaded the file hfbright.tar.gz to ftp.dante.de. Licence is LPPL. >From the README: This package contains the cmbright fonts in Type1 format. Only the fonts are included that are not part of the cm-super bundle (thus, math and OT1 fonts). This package contains the ready Postscript Type1 fonts in PFB format as used by dvips and pdflatex, as well as a map file and a config file for dvips. The font names and the file names begin with 'hf' for 'harders font'. This has been done for not getting mixed up with the commercial cmbright fonts by MicroPress. This has been suggested by Walter Schmidt, the creator of the cmbright fonts. I suggest to put the contents of this file to CTAN/fonts/ps-type1/hfbright Yours Harald ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed the files as suggested in CTAN:/tex-archive/fonts/ps-type1/hfbright/ next to the cm-super package. Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

v3.3 of uk tex faq on ctan and web
by Robin Fairbairns 08 Oct '02

08 Oct '02

i have installed this version of the faq to the usual places. as usual, for a major release, there are a few more questions answered, and a few more wrinkles in old material sorted out. an innovation, this time, is the files pdf-newfaq.lab and pdf-letterfaq.lab; these give the relationship between question labels and question titles, for the two forms of pdf that i distribute. the files are actually output of a toc-like mechanism; i've not actually convinced myself of a way to typeset them, yet :-( robin fairbairns. who _won't_ be speaking at the uk tug meeting about faqs and things, because of the lack of any voice.
