by Robin Fairbairns 10 Dec '01

10 Dec '01

i've just installed a new version (v2.5.8) of the uk faq on ctan (help/uk-tex-faq), and on the faq web page (http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq). included is the answer to a question whose absence has been the subject of a lot of ridicule of the hapless faqer of cambridge: http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=euro in addition, i've installed a small package of my own, which is mentioned by a question in the new version of the faq. this package, macros/latex/contrib/other/misc/bold-extra.sty, makes nfss tables for using the fonts in fonts/cm/mf-extra/bold (bold cmtt and cmcsc fonts). those creating tex distributions are welcome to copies of my experimental static versions of the faq pages: please contact me direct.

An important feature is its preview continuous mode, where it watches all of the source files (primary file and included TeX and graphics files), and reruns LaTeX etc whenever a source file has changed. Thus a previewer can have an updated display whenever the source files change. The current version (3.04) has many improvements over previous versions. Apart from bug fixes: 1. The method for determining how many times to rerun latex is now correct in all normal situations. 2. The determination of the dependencies is greatly improved. 3. Pdf files can be made. 4. Improvements to correspond to current versions of LaTeX and associated software have been made. 5. License is GPL (with agreement of previous authors). Previous version (v. 2) is in a subdirectory. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------

CTAN submission -- preview-latex-0.5.8.2.tar.gz
by Reinhard Zierke 13 Nov '01

13 Nov '01

----- Forwarded message from David Kastrup ----- I have uploaded preview-latex-0.5.8.2.tar.gz to the incoming directory of ftp.dante.de. Its license is the GPL, and I would recommend to install it in the following way: Put the packed archive under support/preview-latex/ but unpack the README to support/preview-latex and README-preview and preview.dtx to macros/latex/contrib/supported/preview/ The reason is that the preview.dtx file can also be used as a standalone LaTeX style for extracting selected elements from a LaTeX source into separate pages of a DVI file. Here are the release notes: Release notes for version 0.5.8.2 of the preview-latex package: preview-latex is a system for displaying inline images of selected parts of a file in Emacs source buffers. It is released under the GNU Public License (GPL). At the current point of time, GNU Emacs-21.1, Auc-TeX, a working LaTeX installation and GhostScript are required. XEmacs support is not yet operative, and contributions would be welcome. Due to missing image support of Emacs-21.1 under Microsoft Windows, this platform is not usable at the current point of time, either. Release focus are mostly user interface improvements. Notable are changes in the build process, changes in cursor display handling, preservation of indentation of previews, improvements in process handling, better configurability. User feedback about errors and suggested feature improvements is welcome and heeded. The home page is <URL:http://preview-latex.sourceforge.net>, the SourceForge project page that among others offers anonymous CVS access is located at <URL:http://sourceforge.net/projects/preview-latex>. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the submission.

New version of UK FAQ
by Robin Fairbairns 07 Nov '01

07 Nov '01

i've installed a new version of the uk faq on ctan and on http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq the new version features: detailed revision of several answers rearrangement of answers to make a more logical structure a small number of new answers (including reading (la)tex files, to answer the question so many people who've been lumbered with something ask...) various changes to the web conversion system to make its management more robust the change that prompted me to take the plunge (i've been working on the new version for some time) was correcting the links to acquire miktex. i would welcome comments on what i've written (i install miktex myself, from time to time, but i know there are greater miktex experts out there...). note that the question numbers have changed (due to the rearrangement). yet again, you see the advantage of the logical addresses at the bottom of the web text of each answer in preference to the answer number. the answer mentioned above, for example, has logical address http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=readtex robin fairbairns

belleek fonts on ctan
by Robin Fairbairns 30 Oct '01

30 Oct '01

I have installed Richard Kinch's belleek font set on CTAN at fonts/belleek (retrieve belleek.zip). from the README: These are the Belleek fonts described in my paper at TUG 98, the 1998 annual meeting of the TeX Users Group. They are drop-in replacements for the proprietary fonts required by the LaTeX mathtime style, where the dropping in process is simply to change the .fd files calling for specific fonts to reflect the font names starting with bl. Notwithstanding any copyright notices in the files, these fonts have been contributed to the public domain in their Type 1 (.pfb) and TrueType (.ttf) forms: blex blsy rblmi these fonts have been available via http://truetex.com for a long time; they have recently been the subject of some discussion in comp.text.tex and elsewhere, and i (and Richard) felt it appropriate to make them more readily accessible to the world.

Four new packages have been installed at tug.ctan.org and should make their way to mirrors in the next few days. The four separate descriptions are below.

The parameters are taken from Knuth's original Concrete fonts and combined with a few values specific to the TIPA fonts. You need the tipa sources (CTAN:fonts/tipa) to generate .pk files. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- == Package: pipa ======================================================= Name of contribution: Palatino TIPA Name: Berthold Crysmann Location on CTAN: fonts/tipa/contrib/pipa/ Summary description: Palatino-compatible parameters for TIPA License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package provides mf parameter files to generate a version of the tipa IPA fonts that should combine a bit better with Palatino-type fonts.

CTAN submission -- preview-latex version 0.5.8
by Reinhard Zierke 24 Oct '01

24 Oct '01

----- Forwarded message from David Kastrup ----- I have uploaded a new release of the preview-latex package, as a file preview-latex-0.5.8.tar.gz to ftp.dante.de. It should be installed as previously, as one archive file in CTAN:support/preview-latex, and the README file should be unpacked into that directory. License is GPL. Release focus are user interface additions and skeletons for XEmacs support (not yet working, volunteers welcome). Here is an excerpt from the README: Purpose of the package is to embed LaTeX environments such as display math or figures into the source buffers. By mouse-clicking, you can open the original text. After editing, another click will just run the region in question through LaTeX and redisplay the new results. Thr project is just starting. Current state of affairs: you need to get access to a version of Emacs 21. The public release 21.1 should be ok for starters. Pretest versions before that have problems. You also need AucTeX installed and working, and probably a fairly recent version of GhostScript. At the current point of time, XEmacs is not supported. Work is underway to change that in future versions, contributions would be welcome. Offers to support further development will be appreciated. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed the new version in the directory CTAN:/tex-archive/support/preview-latex as suggested and removed the old version. Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team
