New on CTAN: unicode-math

the daemon perks up with the appearance of the following (which he had previously imagined to be a myth concocted by people on the net): > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: unicode-math > Author's name: Will Robertson > Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/unicode-math > Summary description: Unicode math support for XeTeX and LuaTeX > License type: lppl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Well, I guess it's now or never.

CTAN update: savetrees
by CTAN Announcements 03 Jun '10

03 Jun '10

This should be at your local mirror within a day. Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College ................................................................................ The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: savetrees Version number: 1.3 Author's name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/savetrees Summary description: Pack as much as possible onto each page of a LaTeX document. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The goal of the savetrees package is to pack as much text as possible onto each page of a LaTeX document. Admittedly, this makes the document far less attractive. Nevertheless, savetrees is a simple way to save paper when printing draft copies of a document. It can also be useful when trying to meet a tight page-length requirement for a conference or journal submission. Version 1.3 of savetrees adds support for pdfTeX's font-expansion mechanism via the microtype package. Documents built with pdflatex should therefore shrink even more than with previous versions of savetrees. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/savetrees . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/savetrees (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
