The supp-pdf.* files support native MetaPost graphics inclusion in LaTeX
(via pdftex.def) and ConTeXt. They can be used independently of the
rest of the ConTeXt, yet are maintained as part of it. So in TeX Live
we pull them out to this separate package for the benefit of LaTeX users
who do not install the rest of ConTeXt. They can be found on CTAN in
macros/pdftex/graphics.
A small package that makes LaTeX default to 'standard' PostScript
fonts. It is basically a merger of the times and the (obsolete)
mathptm packages from the psnfss suite. You must have installed
standard LaTeX and the psnfss PostScript fonts to use this package.
The main novel feature is that the pslatex package tries to compensate
for the visual differences between the Adobe fonts by scaling
Helvetica by 90%, and 'condensing' Courier (i.e. scaling horizontally)
by 85%. The package is supplied with a (unix) shell file for a
'pslatex' command that allows standard LaTeX documents to be
processed, without needing to edit the file. Note that current psnfss
uses a different technique for scaling Helvetica, and treats Courier
as a lost cause (there are better free fixed-width available now, than
there were when pslatex was designed). As a result, pslatex is widely
considered obsolete.
This bundle contains two packages: oldgerm, a package to typeset with
old german fonts designed by Yannis Haralambous, and pandora, a
package to typeset with Pandora fonts designed by Neena Billawala.
This bundle of macros files provides macro support (including font
encoding macros) for the use of Cyrillic characters in fonts encoded
under the T2* and X2 encodings. These encodings cover (between them)
pretty much every language that is written in a Cyrillic alphabet.
Changes:
v8.31a Bug fixes by Arthur Ogawa, so that the new eliding and merging features
do not cause problems with non-REVTeX classes.
v8.31 Bug fix: the merging features of v8.3 are supposed to be
turned off by default but this was not completely right. With
this bug fix, the behaviour without merging is compatible the
earlier versions (<= 8.1).
Changes since 4.1:
* Fixed missed initialization of \Gm@lines.
* Fixed a bug that the papersize setting explicitly specified
with \geometry or \usepackage in the preample didn't come to
\newgeometry.
* Added \mag offset adjustment for \newgeometry.
* Added 'onecolumn' option as a shorthand for 'twocolumn=false'.
* Changed the format of the verbose mode.
* Fixed a bug that caused an error in 'pass' option.
* Changing page layout mid-document.
The new commands \newgeometry{...} and \restoregeometry allow
users to change page dimensions in the middle of the document.
* A new set of options to specify the layout area.
The options specified for the area, in which the page dimensions
are calculated, are added: 'layout', 'layoutsize',
'layoutwidth', 'layoutheight' and so forth.
These options would help to print the specified
layout to a different sized paper. For example, with 'a4paper'
and 'layout=a5paper', the geometry package uses 'A5' layout to
calculate margins with the paper size still 'A4'.
* A new driver option 'xetex'.
The new driver option 'xetex' is added. The driver auto-detection
routine has been revised so as to avoid an error with undefined
control sequences. Note that 'geometry.cfg' in TeXLive, which
disables the auto-detection routine and sets 'pdftex', is no
longer necessary and has no problem even though it still exists.
To set 'xetex' is strongly recommended with XeLaTeX.
* New paper size presets for JIS B-series.
The papersize presets 'b0j' to 'b6j' for JIS (Japanese Industrial
Standards) B-series are added.
* Changing default for underspecified margin.
In the previous version, if only one margin was specified,
'bottom=1cm' for example, then geometry set the other margin with
the margin ratio (1:1 by default for the vertical dimensions)
and got 'top'=1cm in this case.
The version 5 sets the text-body size with the default 'scale'
(=0.7) and determine the unspecified margin.
* The option 'showframe' works on every page.
With 'showframe' option, the page frames are shown on every page.
In addition, the new option 'showcrop' would print cropmarks showing
the corners of the layout (the same as paper by default) on every page.
* Loading geometry.cfg precedes processing class options.
The previous version loaded 'geometry.cfg' after processing
the document class options. Now that the config file is
loaded before processing the class options, you can change the
behavior specified in 'geometry.cfg' by adding options into
\documentclass as well as \usepackage and \geometry.
* Deleted options: 'compat2' and 'twosideshift'.
The version 5 has no longer compatibility with the previous ones.
'compat2' and 'twosideshift' are gone for simplicity.
* Fixed check for the definition of \AtBeginShipoutFirst.
* Fixed \topskip adjustment so that it works when "lines" option is used.
* Added "driver=none" option, which does nothing for driver.
* Revised the note on "ifvtex" package.
