The package changes some typographical points of the
ClassicThesis style, by Andre Miede. It enables the user to
reproduce the look of the guide The art of writing with LaTeX
(the web page is in Italian).
The package provides an experiment in using XML (specifically
DocBook 5) to mark up and maintain LaTeX classes and packages.
XSLT 2 styleheets generate the .dtx and .ins distribution files
expected by end users.
The package contains the Antykwa Poltawskiego family of fonts
in the PostScript Type 1 and OpenType formats. The original
font was designed in the twenties of the XX century by the
Polish typographer Adam Poltawski(1881-1952). Following the
route set out by the Latin Modern and TeX Gyre projects
(http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry), the Antykwa
Poltawskiego digitisation project aims at providing a rich
collection of diacritical characters in the attempt to cover as
many Latin-based scripts as possible. To our knowledge, the
repertoire of characters covers all European languages as well
as some other Latin-based alphabets such as Vietnamese and
Navajo; at the request of users, recent extensions (following
the enhancement of the Latin Modern collection) provide glyphs
sufficient for typesetting of romanized transliterations of
Arabic and Sanskrit scripts. The Antykwa Poltawskiego family
consists of 4 weights (light, normal, medium, bold), each
having upright and italic forms and one of 5 design sizes: 6,
8, 10, 12 and 17pt. Altogether, the collection comprises 40
font files, containing the same repertoire of 1126 characters.
The preliminary version of Antykwa Poltawskiego (antp package)
released in 2000 is rendered obsolete by this package.
The fontch macros allow the user to change font size and family
anywhere in a plain TeX document. Sizes of 8, 10, 12, 14, 20
and 24 points are available. A sans serif family (\sf) is
defined in addition to the families already defined in plain
TeX. Optional support for Latin Modern T1 and TS1 fonts is
given. There are macros for non-latin1 letters and for most TS1
symbols. Math mode always uses CM fonts. A command for
producing doubled-spaced documents is also provided. The
present version of the package is designed to deal with the
latest release of the Latin Modern fonts version 1.106.
Unfortunately, it can no longer support earlier versions of the
fonts, so an obsolete version of the package is retained for
users who don't yet have access to the latest version of the
fonts.
This package contains the METAFONT-Sources for the following German
school basic writing styles taught in schools: Suetterlinschrift,
Deutsche Normalschrift, Lateinische Ausgangsschrift, Schulausgangsschrift,
Vereinfachte Ausgangsschrift. Thus you can write arbitrary German
texts in these fonts.
Xskak, as its prime function, saves information about a chess
game for later use (e.g., to loop through a game to make an
animated board). The package also extends the input that the
parsing commands can handle and offers an interface to define
and switch between indefinite levels of styles.
This package offers commands to print chessboards. It can print
partial boards, hide pieces and fields, color the boards and
put various marks on the board. It has a lot of options to
place pieces on the board. Using exotic pieces (e.g., for fairy
chess) is possible. The documentation includes an example of an
animated chessboard, for those whose PDF viewer can display
animations.
This package provides macros to typeset chess problem diagrams
including fairy chess problems (mostly using rotated images of
pieces) and other boards.
The original (and now somewhat dated) TeX chess font package.
Potential users should consider skak (for alternative fonts,
and notation support), texmate (for alternative notation
support), or chessfss (for flexible font choices).
These files record details of problems reported in the "Computers
and Typesetting" series of books, for the Computer Modern fonts,
and for TeX, METAFONT and related programs.
