CTAN Update: pdfcomment
by CTAN Announcements 16 Mar '10

16 Mar '10

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. License: LPPL Changes in v1.5d: - Bugfix: faulty expansion broke hyperref's auto corrected conversions of LaTeX commands like $ or extCR to PDFDocEncoding or PDFUnicode in comments reported by: Guillaume Millet ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=pdfcomment (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: installfont
by CTAN Announcements 16 Mar '10

16 Mar '10

On Mon, 15 Mar 2010, Josef Kleber submitted an update to the installfont package. 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. The script will rename the fonts automatically (optinal) or will otherwise expect *.afm files and the font files (in Postscript Type1 format!) named in the Karl Berry scheme (e.g. 5bbr8a.pfb). 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 . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=installfont (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 .
