CTAN package update: fonts/cm/sauter/base/c-cmr.mf
by Jim Hefferon 28 Feb '04

28 Feb '04

A package has been updated on tug.ctan.org and the change should make their way to your favorite mirror in the next day or two. Thank you for the update. Jim Hefferon The following was written by the author of the package. ===================================================== I have submitted an update to the file c-cmr.mf for your approval. The file is on ctan.tug.org, which appears to be alan.smcvt.edu. I would like the file to go to fonts/cm/sauter/base/c-cmr.mf. The file is Public Domain. This edit corrects letter_fit# for large point sizes. The previous formula was causing trouble for ligatures. John Sauter

Finally -- a pict2e.sty!
by Robin Fairbairns 27 Feb '04

27 Feb '04

i have just installed a new directory macros/latex/contrib/pict2e, which contains a distribution of the new (real) pict2e package, as documented in lamport, 2nd edition. from the readme: This package was described in the 2nd edition of LaTeX: A Document Preparation System, but the LaTeX project team declined to produce the package. For a long time, LaTeX has included a pict2e package that merely produced an apologetic error message. The new package extends the existing LaTeX picture environment, using the familiar technique (cf. the graphics and color packages) of driver files. The package documentation (pict2e.dtx) has a fair number of examples of use, showing where things are improved by comparison with the LaTeX picture environment.

by Jim Hefferon 26 Feb '04

CTAN submission -- ppr-prv class update (v0.11)
by Reinhard Zierke 26 Feb '04

26 Feb '04

----- Forwarded message from Mathieu Goutelle ----- I have uploaded an update of the ppr-prv class in /incoming/ppr-prv.tgz on dante.ctan.org. Please delete all files in macros/latex/contrib/ppr-prv before putting the ones in the archive, because I now distribute ppr-prv as a dtx file. This class is used with LaTeX presentations using the prosper class. ppr-prv stands for Prosper Preview. The aim of this class is to produce a printable version of the slides written with Prosper, with two slides per page. Changes since previous version are: * New ppr-prv option: nopagebreak, to have more than two slides per page ; * ppr-prv is now distributed as a .dtx file ; * Better handling of options: you can now pass to the article class the usual options for setting the paper and font sizes ; * Use of the 'geometry' package to set margins ; * I set a minimum height for the frame around the slides ; * Bug: the optional argument of itemstep was not handle when using HA-prosper ; * ppr-prv supports HA-prosper 3.9 ('indent' option on dualslide and 'enumstep' environment). ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed it as suggested replacing the previous version in CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/ppr-prv Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team
