CTAN Update: pdfcomment

On Tue, 16 Mar 2010 Josef Kleber submitted an update to the pdfcomment package. Summary description: A user-friendly interface to PDF annotations License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For a long time pdflatex has offered the command pdfannot for inserting arbitrary PDF annotations. However, the command is presented in a form where additional knowledge of the definition of the PDF format is indispensable. This package is an answer to the – occasional – questions in newsgroups, about how one could use the comment function of Adobe Reader. At least for the writer of LaTeX code, the package offers a convenient and user-friendly means of using pdfannot to provide comments in PDF files. Since version v1.1, pdfcomment.sty also supports: LaTeX -> dvips -> ps2pdf, LaTeX -> dvipdfmx and XeLaTeX. Unfortunately, support of PDF annotations by PDF viewers is sparse to nonexistent. The reference viewer for the development of this package is Adobe Reader.

Summary description: A bash script for installing a LaTeX font family License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- With this script you can install a LaTeX font family (Postscript Type1, Truetype, Opentype). At least the four basic cuts + (faked) small caps + faked slanted, but no expert fonts.

After running the script, you should have a working font installation in your local TeX tree. License: LPPL New in v1.3: - added installfont-tl for TeXLive (thanks to Christoph Bier) - added support for Truetype (needs ttf2pt1) and Opentype fonts (needs otftotfm (LCDF Typetools) and pf2afm (Ghostscript)) - added evaluation of command line options - added an uninstall option - added support for installation as mdefault, sfdefault or tdefault - Bugfix: automatic renaming failed if installfont was in working directory - Bugfix: changed setstretch (setspace) to linespread (option leading) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/installfont .

CTAN Update: biblatex-dw

On Thu, 11 Mar 2010, Dominik Waßenhoven submitted an update to the biblatex-dw package. Summary description: Humanities styles for biblatex License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- version 1.3 (for biblatex 0.9) This version of biblatex-dw supports biblatex 0.9. Please note that you have to update biblatex as well if you would like to use biblatex-dw 1.3! Users might need to update their data due to some changes in biblatex, especially concerned with date specifications. Please follow the hints for users given in biblatex's RELEASE notes. Further changes in this release: - The option 'isrn' and 'issn' were dropped. Their functionality can be achieved by the biblatex option 'isbn'. - BUGFIX: When using 'idembibformat=dash', the @inreference entries had a wrong punctuation inside the title. This is now fixed. - Option 'pseudoauthor' changed: if set to true (and the entry option 'pseudoauthor' is used), the author of this entry is printed. The new commands ibleftpseudo and ibrightpseudo are used to enclose the author. These commands are empty by default. If the global option 'pseudoauthor' is set to 'false', the author of entries with the entry option 'pseudoauthor' are not printed at all. The default value for the global option is 'true' (i.e. the behaviour is the same regardless of the entry option 'pseudoauthor'). - New command locationdatepunct for the punctuation between location and year/date. The default is addspace. - New command locationpublisherpunct for the punctuation between location and publisher. The default is addcolonspace. - New command publisherdatepunct for the punctuation between publisher and year/date. The default is addcommaspace. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw/ .

CTAN Update: preview
by CTAN Announcements 22 Feb '10

22 Feb '10

On Sun, 21 Feb 2010, Ralf Angeli submitted an update to the preview package. Summary description: Extract bits of a LaTeX source as graphics License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The main purpose of the preview package is the extraction of selected elements from a LaTeX source, like formulas or images, into separate pages of a DVI file. This works with DVI files postprocessed by either Dvips and Ghostscript or dvipng, but it also works when you are using PDFTeX for generating PDF files. Current uses of the package include the preview-latex package for WYSIWYG functionality in the AUCTeX editing environment, generation of previews in LyX, as part of the operation of the ps4pdf package, the tbook XML system and some other tools. The preview package is being developed along and distributed with preview-latex. With the integration of preview-latex into AUCTeX as of version 11.81, the preview package became part of AUCTeX as well. It can therefore be obtained as part of AUCTeX distribution files available at <URL:ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/auctex/>. CTAN provides the standalone preview package at <CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/preview>. For more information about the preview package please refer to the home page of AUCTeX at <URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/>. Version 11.86 of the preview package adds support for XeTeX. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/preview/ . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=preview (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 .
