25 Aug '11

On Thu, 25 Aug 2011 Pavel Farar submitted an update to the dejavu package. Summary description: LaTeX support for the fonts DejaVu License type: other-free Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package contains LaTeX support for the fonts DejaVu. They are derived from the Vera fonts and contain more characters and styles. Changes: - Added the QX encoding (requested by Mojca Miklavec). - Added the LGR encoding (it may be usable as it is, but I think that it needs an improvement--see the documentation). - I moved the documentation of the fonts to its own subdirectory. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/dejavu (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 .

CTAN update: mimeTeX

the daemon came along with: > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: mimeTeX > Author's name: John Forkosh > Package version: 1.72 > Location on CTAN: support/mimetex/ > Summary description: mimeTeX lets you easily embed LaTeX math in your html pages > License type: gpl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > General info: mimeTeX lets you easily embed LaTeX math in your html > pages.
