Name of contribution: fontspec Author's name: Will Robertson Package version: v2.3 Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/fontspec/ Summary description: Font selection for XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX License type: lppl

Announcement text given by the package's contributor:

Long, long, long overdue, this release of fontspec brings a significant new feature which allows default font features to be selected on a per-font basis, and to store such customisations in a separate configuration file.

This allows font authors to distribute config files with their texmf fonts so that filename-based fonts can be loaded as complete families without specifying all the tedious bold/italic names, etc.

This feature has been barely tested; please let me know of any issues you come across. See section 7.1 in the manual for documentation of this feature.

Official (read, terse) change notes follow.

• v2.3 (2013/02/25)

  • Add support for per-font options in `defaultfontfeatures`
  • Add support for `<fontname>.fontspec` per-font configuration files
  • Keep up-to-date with expl3 changes

thanks for the upload; i've installed the new version, and updated the catalogue repository.
