that daemon pops up at the most inconvenient times. while i was working hard on my day job, it said:
The following information was provided by the package's contributor.
Name of contribution: fontspec v2.0b2 Author's name: Will Robertson Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/fontspec Summary description: Font loading in XeTeX and LuaTeX License type: lppl
Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
Second beta release of fontspec v2, which supports LuaTeX.
Minor changes since the previous release:
- No longer need to run mkluatexfontdb manually; update documentation to reflect this
- Fix a bug with automatic font scaling in LuaTeX
- Two new XeTeX features: AutoFakeBold and AutoFakeSlant for generating poor man's bold and poor man's oblique shapes for a family (these are extensions of FakeBold/FakeSlant)
- An internal programmer's interface command for creating new LaTeX font families.
- Minor internal and documentation changes.
- For XeTeX: many functions of xltxtra are now incorporated into fontspec.
- The makefile can now automatically install fontspec without needing the path to your texmfhome.
(Note we no longer have a .ins file but Manuel assures me that's okay. You can extract everything from the dtx using the Makefile or by running `tex fontspec.dtx`.)
thanks for the upload; i've installed the files and updated the catalogue repository.
Users may view the package catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/fontspec.html or they may browse the package directory at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/fontspec
though the catalogue entry won't change (in so far as it changes at all) until some time while i sleep tonight.
