CTAN package update: mf2pt1
by CTAN Announcements 31 May '06

31 May '06

A package has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thanks, as usual, Jim Hefferon St Michael's College ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: mf2pt1 Author's name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: /support/mf2pt1 Summary description: Produce PostScript Type 1 fonts from Metafont source License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mf2pt1 facilitates producing PostScript Type 1 fonts from a Metafont source file. mf2pt1's advantage over tools such as TeXtrace and mftrace is that it does not rely on bitmap tracing and therefore can produce higher-quality Type 1 fonts than trace-based tools. The catch is that mf2pt1 imposes a number of restrictions on the Metafont input so it is not, as the name may imply, an automatic converter of arbitrary Metafont fonts to Type 1 format. Version 2.2 fixes some bugs involving the processing of command-line options. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/mf2pt1 .

CTAN update: The lhfonts package 3.5b
by CTAN Announcements 29 May '06

29 May '06

On Sun, 28 May 2006, Olga Lapko submitted an update to the lh package. The LH fonts address the problem of the wide variety of alphabets that are written with Cyrillic-style characters. The fonts are the original basis of the set of T2* and X2 encodings that are now used when LaTeX users need to write in Cyrillic languages. The fonts are available in Adobe Type 1 format, in the CM-Super family of fonts. Location on CTAN: fonts/cyrillic/lh Summary description: Cyrillic fonts with support of LaTeX standard encodings License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes: - Corrected the width of letters ZHE_dsc and K_dsc (file lgt2upu.mf) (to restore 3.4 widths): the font metric of fonts (of already existing letters) are going to be stable. - Small changes in documentations ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the update.
