----- Forwarded message from Philipp Lehman ----- node: ftp.dante.de directory: /incoming/ttf2tex destination: /tex-archive/support/ttf2tex license: gpl I've uploaded a new release of ttf2tex to /incoming/ttf2tex on ftp.dante.de. Please remove the contents of support/ttf2tex and replace them with the uploaded files. Thank you. >From the README: ttf2tex is a Bash script which will create all files neccessary to use TrueType fonts with teTeX from a set of *.ttf files. It will sort them, build the map files required by ttf2pk and pdftex, and optionally install them. It supports small caps and slanted shapes. ttf2tex is for UNIX/Linux systems with teTeX and certain FreeType support binaries. See the file ttf2tex.pdf for requirements, usage instructions, and some general information. Changelog: 2001-10-08 0.3 -- support for TS1 encoding -- support for user-defined parameters when generating small caps -- support for user-defined parameters when generating slanted shapes -- revised command line switches 2001-03-09 0.2 -- support for various weights -- create one pdftex map file for each font family -- improved feedback 2000-10-25 0.1 -- initial release ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload.

CTAN Submission -- crop.sty
by Reinhard Zierke 08 Oct '01

08 Oct '01

----- Forwarded message from Melchior FRANZ ----- I've just uploaded version 1.5 of `crop.sty' as archive === crop.tar.gz === to === ftp://ftp.dante.de/incoming/ === Please replace the contents of === /macros/latex/contrib/supported/crop/ === by the new files. The package is again licenced under the terms of the === LPPL === The new version now has - options for selectively suppressing graphics or text, which may be useful for printing just color graphics on a color laser and the rest on a cheap mono laser. - options for changing the cropmarks origin (which are deprecated, though) - a new page info line, which also contains the time and a new cropmarks index and is printed on top, rather than in the upper right corner - a configuration command for the info line font - options for better collaboration with dvips/pdftex/vtex - an improved documentation with some more examples - a Makefile for Unix/Linux systems ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the submission.

CTAN submission -- eline.sty: english lines
by Reinhard Zierke 07 Oct '01

07 Oct '01

----- Forwarded message from Tobias Dussa ----- I have just uploaded a rather small style file for producing english lines (i. e. lines that are thicker in the middle than at the ends). The package is just one style file and quite simple. I have placed it in incoming/texmf of ftp.dante.de; the file is called eline.sty. I would assume that it would best be added to someplace in macros/generic, as it is coded entirely with plain TeX commands. I did not much think about the licensing issue much, so I just allow all uses and modifications, as long as a reference to the original author is kept. Also, it is made clear that no responsibility is assumed by myself. (If you think that it would be much better to just use the GPL or whatever, then please go ahead and drop me a note. I am not experienced in publishing TeX macro packages, so I am grateful for any help, but I suppose that such an effort is not warranted for such a small package.) ----- End forwarded message ----- Thansk for the submission. I installed the file in CTAN:/tex-archive/macros/generic/eline.sty as suggested. Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

CTAN submission -- EC/TC Type1 font collection
by Reinhard Zierke 04 Oct '01

04 Oct '01

----- Forwarded message from Szabo Peter ----- I've just uploaded tt2001, an EC/TC Type1 font collection to CTAN. I've attached its README to my e-mail. Please find an appropriate location for the fonts, and move them there. Thank you, Szabó Péter README.txt, Mon Oct 1 13:30:27 CEST 2001 This is version 1.0 of Tt2001. This is Tt2001, a TeX .pfb font collection, converted to .pfb in 2001 by the author of TeXtrace, using TeXtrace. It contains almost _all_ the EC (European Computer Modern) and TC (Text Companion) fonts in all possible design sizes, _all_ the AMS fonts in all possible design sizes, plus some more. Author: pts(a)inf.bme.hu The missing EC/TC fonts are: fcvt0500.pfb fcvi0500.pfb fctt0500.pfb fcst0500.pfb fcit0500.pfb fctc0500.pfb fcff0500.pfb fcff0600.pfb fcff0700.pfb fcff0800.pfb fcfi0500.pfb fcfi0600.pfb fcfi0700.pfb fcfi0800.pfb fcfb2488.pfb fcfb2986.pfb fcfb3583.pfb fcfs2488.pfb fcfs2986.pfb fcfs3583.pfb fymisc10.pfb ucfb2488.pfb ucfb2986.pfb ucfb3583.pfb ucfs2488.pfb ucfs2986.pfb ucfs3583.pfb ucff0500.pfb ucff0600.pfb ucff0700.pfb ucff0800.pfb ucff1728.pfb ucff2074.pfb ucff2986.pfb ucff3583.pfb ucfi0500.pfb ucfi0600.pfb ucfi0700.pfb ucfi0800.pfb ucfi2986.pfb ucfi3583.pfb ucit0500.pfb ucst0500.pfb uctt0500.pfb ucvi0500.pfb ucvt0500.pfb They are missing because METAFONT failed to generate them. The missing EC fonts are just some typewriter fonts at 5pt, plus some Fibonacci and funny fonts. Quick and dirty UNIX shell command to find the missing fonts: ls `awk -F '<' '/^[a-z]/{print$2}' <ecpfb.map` 2>&1 >/dev/null | awk -F ':' '{print substr($2,2)}' TeXtrace is available from the net: http://textrace.sf.net TeXtrace was first presented at EuroTeX 2001 http://www.ntg.nl/eurotex/. Tanakori Uchiyama has reported: By the way, there is a musixps-unix.tar.gz at CTAN. fonts/musixtex/ps-type1/musixps-unix.tar.gz I think that it is easy to get and use it. Quoting subsubsection 5.4.1 of dvips.dvi: Commercial versions of the Computer Modern fonts are available from Blue Sky; public domain versions are available from CTAN sites (for CTAN info, see section `unixtex.ftp'' in Kpathsea) in: fonts/postscript/bakoma fonts/postscript/paradissa You may need to modify these fonts; see http:///xxx.lanl.gov/faq/bakoma.html Knuth's original CM (Computer Modern) fonts (_not_ including European accentend letters) were converted to .pfb by Bluesky in 1991. These Bluesky .pfb fonts (such as cmr10.pfb) are part of the standard teTeX distribution, and are available from CTAN since years ago. Some auxilary fonts (such as the MetaFont logo and the Wasy fonts) were converted to .pfb by Taco Hoekwater, 1998. Some fonts, such as Times, Helvetica and Charter were _originally_ in PFB format, so they need no conversion. Many of them are part of the standard teTeX distribution, and also from CTAN. -- [B]+[T] Knuth's original CM (Computer Modern) fonts Knuth's original CM fonts converted by Bluesky are: cmb10 cmbsy10 cmbx10 cmbx12 cmbx5 cmbx6 cmbx7 cmbx8 cmbx9 cmbxsl10 cmbxti10 cmcsc10 cmdunh10 cmex10 cmex9 cmff10 cmfi10 cmfib8 cmitt10 cmmi10 cmmi12 cmmi5 cmmi6 cmmi7 cmmi8 cmmi9 cmmib10 cmr10 cmr12 cmr17 cmr5 cmr6 cmr7 cmr8 cmr9 cmsl10 cmsl12 cmsl8 cmsl9 cmsltt10 cmss10 cmss12 cmss17 cmss8 cmss9 cmssbx10 cmssdc10 cmssi10 cmssi12 cmssi17 cmssi8 cmssi9 cmssq8 cmssqi8 cmsy10 cmsy5 cmsy6 cmsy7 cmsy8 cmsy9 cmtcsc10 cmtex10 cmtex8 cmtex9 cmti10 cmti12 cmti7 cmti8 cmti9 cmtt10 cmtt12 cmtt8 cmtt9 cmu10 cmvtt10 Missing from Bluesky CM, included in Tt2001: cmex9 -- [T] all AMS fonts (AMS A, AMS B, other math fonts, Euler fraktur, cyrillic etc.) Most of them are available from [B].

CTAN update of biblio/bibtex/utils/bibweb
by Reinhard Zierke 04 Oct '01

04 Oct '01

I have updated CTAN:/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/utils/bibweb to the current version on the author's website (dated Nov 10, 2000). >From the README file: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- bibweb is a utility for automatically retrieving bibliographical information from the American Mathematical Society's MathSciNet program. John Palmieri (engineer) wrote bibweb, and Bill Dwyer (idea man) helped to design it. If you're too lazy to go to the library or use a web browser to find out bibliographical information for that ground-breaking paper you're writing, you can let bibweb do the work for you. You have to use bibtex (which means you have to use latex, I think), and you have to write citations in a particular format, but that's about it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

CTAN submission -- preview-latex
by Reinhard Zierke 04 Oct '01

04 Oct '01

----- Forwarded message from David Kastrup ----- I have uploaded preview-latex-0.5.tar.gz, a package for previewing inline images of equation environments and similar. It needs recent pretest versions of GNU Emacs to work at the current point of time (at least 21.0.105) as well as AucTeX. I have uploaded to ftp.dante.de. I would recommend loading it into a separate directory support/preview-latex and extracting the file README from the archive and placing this file as well as the tar archive into that directory. The license is GPL. I append an excerpt from the README: I do not know where to start. This is the preview-latex project at Sourceforge, <URL:http://sourceforge.net/projects/preview-latex>. There is a mailing list for developers, the web page is <URL:http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/preview-latex-devel> Send a message with just the word `help' as subject or body to preview-latex-devel-request(a)lists.sourceforge.net for more information. Anonymous CVS is available as well. See the Sourceforge web pages for more information. Purpose of the package is to embed LaTeX environments such as display math or figures into the source buffers. By mouse-clicking, you can open the original text. After editing, another click will just run the region in question through LaTeX and redisplay the new results. Thr project is just starting. Current state of affairs: you need to get access to a very recent Emacs 21 version, which at the current time means that you need to be a pretester of Emacs. Versions before 21.0.105 have EPS rendering support that is defective. Direct EPS rendering is in need of improvement and very experimental, so the default setting replaces Emacs internal EPS handling by an indirect rendering mechanism. If you feel capable of helping out with Emacs' EPS interface (meaning that the APIs connecting GhostScript and viewers such as GhostView and xdvi are not a book with seven seals for you), feel free to do so. Report bugs you can reproduce along with the files needed to reproduce them. The new display engine for 21.1 is quite powerful, and some bugs still might be lurking inside. You also need AucTeX installed and working, and probably a fairly recent version of GhostScript. At the current point of time, XEmacs is not supported. This may change in future versions, depending on contributions. Offers to support further development will be appreciated. David Kastrup, <URL:mailto:dakas@users.sourceforge.net> ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed it as suggested (tar archive + README file) in the directory CTAN:/tex-archive/support/preview-latex/ Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team
