CTAN update: KKsymbols
by CTAN Announcements 12 Aug '26

12 Aug '26

KKTeX submitted an update to the KKsymbols package. Version: 2.2.2 2026-06-26 License: mit Summary description: LaTeX commands for enclosing characters in circles, squares, diamonds, or brackets Announcement text: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Version 2.2.2 is a documentation release. The manual adds a comparison with luatexja-otf (command-by-command examples and a practical selection guide), a section on roman numerals, and an expanded description of the automatic reference box: the automatic reference is based on the current font’s x-height and is not identical to \vphantom{\Rrnum{6}}, so an explicit \kksref{\Rrnum{6}} should be used when lowercase roman numerals have to be aligned exactly. There are no functional changes to the package code. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/kksymbols The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/contrib/kksymbols/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

CTAN update: keisennote
by CTAN Announcements 12 Aug '26

12 Aug '26

KKTeX submitted an update to the keisennote package. Version: 1.2.1 2026-02-02 License: mit Summary description: TikZ-based Japanese-style notebook ruled lines for LaTeX Announcement text: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Version 1.2.1 replaces the four separate parameter setters (\SetNoteLineWidth, \SetNoteDotRadius, \SetNoteLineDistance and \SetNoteTriangleSize) with a single key-value command, \SetKeisenNote[linewidth=..., radius=..., distance=..., triangle=...]. The old commands are no longer defined, so documents written against earlier versions have to be adapted; the manual now contains a migration table for this. The documentation has also been brought back in line with the code, and the package internals were cleaned up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/keisennote The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/contrib/keisennote/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

CTAN update: cmgraded
by CTAN Announcements 12 Aug '26

12 Aug '26

Alain Stalder submitted an update to the cmgraded package. Version: 1.0.2 License: ofl lppl1.3c Summary description: Classic LaTeX look and feel in different grades of blackness Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tiny fix in the OpenType font files: Added FontBBox to the CFF table. The missing box could have led to clipped-off glyphs in some viewers, even though that had not been observed experimentally so far. Documented exploration results for graded OpenType math fonts: All in all, this would only seem feasible with quite significant drawbacks, most notably without visual defects only when used in LuaLaTeX with several tweaks in *.sty and *.lua, but not when using the fonts in other places like MathML or Typst. See the section "OpenType Math Fonts?" for more details. Added an example with lowered umlauts as babel does in pdfLaTeX. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/fonts/cmgraded More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/cmgraded -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.
