As this was a previously-supported set of packages for 2.09, their removal reflects the upgrade of LaTeX from 2.09 (where these were official add-ons) to LaTeX2e (where these are integrated and improved portions of the standard distribution). These files should not be included in any reliable mirror of the CTAN collection. Rather than add on to an existing 2.09 distribution (which I assume you are doing), it is my understanding that the LaTeX team would strongly prefer that you upgrade your installation to the current and supported 2e distribution. You should find the functionality of these distributions already included in a 2e installation and available for immediate (and supported) use.

This version of the babel system has been upgraded for use with LaTeX2e. Yet it can (again) also be used with plain TeX. Patch level 1 fixes a problem with \lefthyphenmin and \righthyphenmin. They didn't get their proper values in the earlier release. Also some incompatibilities with plain TeX have been removed. Version 3.4 patch level 1 is not compatible with T1 output encoding, some of the language specific files may give unecpected results with T1.

While your intent is to have these as supported files, the macros/latex/contrib/supported/ directory is intended to follow a specific set of minimal rules for design. Joachim Schrod (cc'ed on this) is in charge of the supported area and has prepared a draft version of the rules for inclusion in this area, which I do not believe has been released for general consumption. When it is ready (I assume Joachim will have it available in the very near future), it will be installed as a single file available for retrieval. I believe the name of the file is to be macros/latex/contrib/bundles.tex, although I don't recall off hand if this is the precise location or file name. When it is prepared and installed, it will be announced to INFO-TeX@SHSU.edu (which is ported to comp.text.tex) and CTAN-Ann@SHSU.edu (CTAN announcements list). I will make every effort to see that you also recieve a copy of this document and believe that Joachim will forward it to you, as well (TIA Joachim! -- since I just kind of committed you to something without your prior consent 8-)). Once the file set meet the minimal stipulated requirements, Joachim will move them (or have them moved) from the contrib/other/ area to the contrib/supported/ hierarchy as he has volunteered to serve as the gatekeeper to this part of the macros/latex/ CTAN directory structure.

Thanks for your interest in that piece (and to Sebastian for recommending it). While I know that it has been published in a few places, I have been amazed by the amount of continuing interest in it from a number of sources, which is quite humbling. Since I had trouble finding the source file this time around (had to pull it from tape), I just installed it on the SHSU CTAN host (ftp.SHSU.edu) in tex-archive/help/greenwade-tug93.tex (an admittedly awkward name, but that was the original one so....) and it should propagate to the other hosts in a timely fashion. Please be aware that a few minor changes have occurred over the past year (renaming a few directories and having both European hosts physically change machines mainly) so it may not be completely accurate as of the moment, but the general information in it remains correct. Perhaps a running errata file should be added and maintained for this to properly serve as a general theory introduction to the CTAN. I will discuss this with a few people at TUG'94 in Santa Barbara later this month. If you have trouble getting this, please let me know.

I feel confident that more on this topic will follow in the somewhat near future, but the good news is that this TDS is targeted at defining and creating a platform-independent standard TeX directory hierarchy which can be implemented on every operating system.

This version contains a few patches to make the documentation run again, and to change language.dat to load only hyphen.tex bu default. The most important change is that the pattern loading code now checks if the pattern file set the values vor \left- and \righthyphenmin. If not defaults are provided. The values so found are stored in \extras. The error messages have been rewritten to use the new LaTeX error interface when that is available.

Version 0.2.5.1 of mfpic is available at CTAN. Here is a brief description. Comprehensive TeX Archive Network: package description ------------------------------------------------------ Name: mfpic Authors: Thomas Leathrum Geoffrey Tobin Date: 12 July 1994 Last changed in archive: 12 July 1994 Version: 0.2.5.1 Archive-path: graphics/mfpic Description: A set of TeX and Metafont macros that essentially draw pictures in a TeX document using Metafont. Support for unix, MS-DOS, and 4DOS. In MFpic, each picture comes out as a single Metafont character; the TeX macros actually write the Metafont file for you, so there's no need to learn Metafont (although you do have to be able to run Metafont); and the TeX macros are things like \axes, \arrow, \circle, \curve, etc., similar in nature (but nowhere near the scope) of PiC-TeX. The advantages of this technique: significantly faster than PiC-TeX (especially on curves), totally printer-independent (unlike \special's). Keywords: graphics, METAFONT, TeX Patch: In graphbase.mf, a bug in the unxconv macro is fixed.

These files are now mirrored into the fonts/utilities/gsftopk/ directory on the CTAN. --George =========================================================================== This is to announce the availability of Version 1.7 of gsftopk. gsftopk is a package whose purpose is to allow use of PostScript fonts with xdvi. It consists of: 1. A program called gsftopk.c which creates pk font files for the PostScript fonts. The bitmaps are obtained from ghostscript. 2. A script called xdvimakepk which is to be used in place of MakeTeXPK in xdvi. The package requires the use of a dvips-style psfonts.map file. The package is available via anonymous ftp from math.berkeley.edu in the file pub/Software/TeX/gsftopk.tar.Z. To upgrade from version 1.6 you may use pub/Software/TeX/gsftopk.patch7.Z instead. gsftopk is also released as a subpackage of xdvi. Version 1.7 of gsftopk (or a later version) will be part of patchlevel 19 of xdvi. Patchlevel 18 of xdvi includes only gsftopk 1.6. Version 1.7 adds the ability to do subdirectory searching, using the same // semantics as the web2c release of TeX, et. al. --Paul Vojta, vojta@math.berkeley.edu From bed_gdg@SHSU.edu Wed Aug 10 17:38:51 1994 Date: 10 Aug 1994 15:31:27 -0500 (CDT) From: George D.

This font has to be encoded in the "AdobeStandardEncoding-scheme". This package is based on the ps2mf-package of the authors: Marcel Dings (original idea of the ps2mf-package) and Erik-Jan Vens (new ps2mf). QUALITY OF LETTERS: Fonts made by programs like Adobe(tm), Corel's Wfnboss(tm) and Fontographer (Apple(tm)) seem to be of a better quality than fonts generated by ghostscript's getafm. If you get free or shareware-fonts you should take care of that. WHAT TO DO: (0) Remove the old package ps4mf, if you have. (1) pkunzip -d ps4mf22 (use pkunzip version 2.04e or above) A directory \ps4mf with files and subdirectories will be extracted. (2) Run the converting-batch with fontname as parameter (two fonts for trying out are included). Example: conv_Ado garamond (3) Use the new font in your TeX-documents! (a) By using TeX-command e.g. \newfont{\garamond}{garamond scaled 1000}. or (b) If you want to change fonts generally from computer-modern fontfamily to your favourite postscriptfonts, just declare the new fontnames in the file "newfont.tex". Then every magnification (\large, \Huge etc.) will use your postscript-font. You should move this file into \tex\texinput. Look at texinput\sample1.tex (LaTeX) or texinput\testfont.tex (TeX) for example. (4) If you have generated some metafont-files from postscript with ps4mf12x please delete these .pk-files and convert the .pfb/afm again. I have corrected my conversion-program. ENJOY! WHAT'S NEW: April 1994 Version 1.2 of PS4MF package [...] July 1994 Version 2.1a of PS4MF package - added hint instead: package to create missing .afm's (t1utils.zip/t1tools.zip) - added chapter to ps4mf.doc: SOME INFORMATION ABOUT .afm - added command line switches to \ps4mf\doc\afm2tfm.doc - added version 7.8 of afm2tfm August 1994 Version 2.2 of PS4MF package - corrected ps4mf.doc, added information for getafm-tool NEW VERSIONS OF PS4MFxx.ZIP: You can get the actual version 2.2 of the ps4mf - package at ftp.rrzn.uni-hannover.de /incoming/tex via anonymous ftp.

New in this version: much simplified .fd-files and Hangul support without preprocessor. Here is the readme file: This is the LaTeX2e style package CJK.zip Version 2.0 (15-Sep-1994) =================================================================== It contains the following files: CJK.txt This file CJK.sty A LaTeX2e style file to enable CJK (Chinese/Japanese/Korean) logographs (i.e. Hanzi/Kanji/Hangul) with LaTeX2e CJK.enc Master Encoding File (at the moment only for Chinese and Korean) standard.enc Bg5.enc hangul.enc pmCsmall.enc pmCbig.enc Encoding scheme files Uhangul.fd Font definition file for standard Hangul fonts UBg5.fd UGBs.fd UGBt.fd Font definition files for Chinese (examples only!) UpmC-Bg5.fd UpmC-GBs.fd UpmC-GBt.fd Font definition files for (old) pmC-fonts vf/*.vf tfm/*.tfm virtual fonts and metric files for hangul standard fonts to use in combination with lj_han.zip and lj_han1.zip (available at the CTAN hosts) This is freely distributable under the GNU Public License. ************************************** * The .fd files have been changed! * ************************************** Use --- Use CJK.sty as a package, e.g. \documentclass{article} \usepackage{CJK} . A new environment \begin{CJK}{encoding}{shape} ... \end{CJK} is defined; encoding the following coding schemes are currently implemented in CJK.enc: Bg5 (Big5) GBs (GuoBiao with simplified characters) GBt (GuoBiao with traditional characters) hangul (only hangul syllables and elements, no hanja). It's very easy to add different encoding schemes. For compatibility with the pmC package three additional encodings are defined: pmC-Bg5, pmC-GBs, and pmC-GBt. It's not encouraged to use these encodings because of wasting fonts. If possible, convert your original CJK-bitmaps with bmf2gf (see below) to CJK-encodings. shape It is impossible to know what fonts are available at your site; look at the example .fd-files how to create appropriate .fd-files suiting your needs. If you use the hangul environment, this parameter is unused (see below). This is a very realistic example: \begin{CJK}{GBs}{kai} ... Text in GuoBiao encoding ... \end{CJK} How it works ------------ Asiatic logographs can't be represented with one byte per character. (At least) two bytes are needed, and the most common encoding schemes (GB, Big5, JIS, KS etc.) have a certain range for the first byte (usually 0xA1-OxFE or a part of it) which signales that this and the next byte represents an Asiatic logograph. This means that plain ASCII-text (i.e. characters between 0x00 and 0x7F) will be left undisturbed, and most characters of the extended ASCII character set (0x80-0xFF) will be assigned to a CJK encoding. CJK.sty will make the characters 0xA1-OxFE active (and in the file CJK.enc you should inactivate those characters not needed to be active in a special encoding scheme) inside of an environment and assigns the macros \CJK@char and \CJK@charx to the active characters which select the proper font. The real mechanism is a bit more complicated to assure robustness (it was borrowed and modified from german.sty). The encodings ------------- CJK.sty defines \CJK@standardEncoding, \CJK@Bg5Encoding, \CJK@hangulEncoding, and for compatibility with pmC, \CJK@pmCsmallEncoding and \CJK@pmCbigEncoding. \CJK@standardEncoding should be used for encodings with the second byte in the range 0xA0-0xFE (GB, JIS etc). \CJK@Bg5Encoding should be used for Big5 encodings (e.g. ETen fonts) with the second byte in the range 0x40-0xFE. \CJK@hangulEncoding is a special (and slightly modified) case of \CJK@standardEncoding, containing only values for hangul syllables and elements. \CJK@pmCsmallEncoding and \CJK@pmCbigEncoding can be activated with \pmCsmall (this is the default) and \pmCbig inside the CJK environment. Note that the original pmC fonts have two character sizes per font (the bigger ones with an offset of -128); pmC-Big5 encoded fonts cannot contain big characters. The names of the fonts in the UpmC-xxx.fd files reflect the modifications added by Marc Leisher (mleisher@nmsu.edu) to the original poor man's Chinese (pmC) package written by Thomas Ridgeway (ridgeway@blackbox.hacc.washington.edu). The fonts --------- CJK.sty uses NFSS (New Font Selection Scheme) which has some advantages over the font selection offered with pmC: o TeX fonts are loaded only on demand. This is especially useful with Asiatic logographs. If you have e.g. three Chinese characters in your text, pmC must load the whole Chinese font (about 85 TeX fonts), whereas LaTeX2e loads three fonts normally. o As long as the limit of 256 TeX fonts will not be exceeded, you can use as many CJK fonts as you like (e.g. simplified and traditional Chinese characters together with Japanese fonts in different sizes) --- pmC is limited to two sizes and can only have two CJK fonts at the same time. In the web2c-TeX package (for UNIX) you will find a patch which allows the use of more than 256 TeX fonts. o You need not to care about the right size of the CJK fonts in footnotes etc. It will obey the NFSS (although changing the other attributes except font series will be done with \CJKenc and \CJKshape). For font selection in a hangul environment see below. Of course you must have proper sizes of your CJK fonts --- if you have, say, 48x48 and 64x64 bitmap fonts (or more), I recommend bmf2gf to convert them directly to .pk-fonts. If you have only 24x24 size (as most of the public domain fonts are), you can magnify them using bmf2gf but only with integer magnifications. If you chose one font per active character as with the pmC macros, you would waste character space (256 characters per font are possible with TeX 3). Therefore CJK.sty expects the whole Asiatic font splitted in TeX fonts with 256 characters each. An example: GuoBiao-encoded simplified characters in song style 12pt: ^ ^ ^^ ^^ first byte second byte TeX font offset ---------------------------------------------- 0xA1 0xA1-OxFE gsso1201 0 0xA2 0xA1-0xFE gsso1201 94 0xA3 0xA1-0xE4 gsso1201 188 0xA3 0xE5-0xFE gsso1202 0 0xA4 0xA1-0xFE gsso1202 26 0xA5 0xA1-0xFE gsso1202 120 . . . 0xFE 0xA1-OxFE gsso1235 38 To create such splitted fonts you should use the package bmf2gf.zip (written by me) which should be at the same place where you've found this package (I upload my TeX packages to the CTAN hosts). Big5 encoded fonts are a bit more complicated to convert because of a gap in the range of the second byte: 0x7F-0xA0 is not used. Additionally some of the possible code points are unused --- I've written hbf2bmf (contained in bmf2gf.zip) which converts HBF fonts into BMF files bmf2gf can understand. For converting to .pk-files via bmf2gf, you should get the appropriate HBF (Hanzi Bitmap Font) header files from ifcss.org (or create if you can't find the right one); almost all Chinese bitmap fonts in the public domain together with their HBF headers are collected there. These HBF files document the fonts completely. Korean input ------------ (The status of this feature is experimental. I can't speak Korean and would be glad to hear comments from people who have any idea what is happening here :-) There are already different packages handling Hangul: hlatex, htex etc.; there is one package which also can handle hanja: jhtex. The great difference of the packages just mentioned compared to CJK is the use of a preprocessor which converts text files containing KS encoded text into a TeX file. To do so has some advantages, but the output is completely unreadable. Additionally the output lines become rather lengthy (a two byte character code will be converted into a string up to 11 characters), which some editors may confuse; and if you have a text which contains Chinese or Japanese also, you can't use KS to TeX converters because the code ranges overlap and the converters are not able to recognize which is Korean and which is not. In contrast, CJK does not need a preprocessor and the problems mentioned above are nonexistent, but you get nothing for free: CJK uses the virtual font mechanism to map the hangul syllables onto Hangul Elements (11 virtual fonts map to 2 real fonts), whereas preprocessors directly use the real fonts. CJK's hangul support is thought for users who write texts in a non CJK language and who want to input some hangul characters, possibly mixed with Chinese or Japanese. If you want a complete Korean environment, I recommend jhtex. There you will also find a hangul.sty which modifies (among others) the sectioning commands to enable Korean chapter counting and Korean headers. To use the hangul environment, say \begin{CJK}{hangul}{} ... \end{CJK} . These font switches are available inside the environment: fonts from hLaTeX: * \mj MyoungJo \gt Gothic \gs BootGulssi \gr Graphic \dr Dinaru fonts from jhTeX: * \hgt Hangul Gothic * \hmj Hangul MyoungJo (MunHwaBu fonts) * \hpg Hangul Pilgi \hol Hangul Outline (MyoungJo) If a font is marked with a star, bold series are available. You will find the fonts in the lj_han.zip and lj_han1.zip packages. These are emTeX libraries for 300 dpi resolution which can be easily converted back to .pk fonts using the fontlib package of emTeX. If you need different resolutions, you must obtain the original metafont sources of the hlatex_mf.tar.gz and the jhtex packages. Note that the shapes of Hangul elements are not satisfactory, and archaic hangul elements are still missing. The .fd-files ------------- It is now possible to define CJK fonts as easy as normal TeX fonts! CJK.sty defines three new size commands: CJK corresponds to `' (empty) CJKfixed corresponds to fixed sCJKfixed corresponds to sfixed . The difference between these size functions and the original commands defined by LaTeX2e is that a CJK size function defines a class of fonts. If you say as an example \DeclareFontShape{U}{Bg5}{m}{song}{<6> <7> <8> sCJKfixed * b5so07} , LaTeX2e searches for fonts named b5so0701 - b5so0771 if the font size is 6, 7 or 8 pt; with other words, the CJK size functions append two digits to select the proper subfonts. These digits are defined in the \CJK@...Encoding macros; the macro \CJK@plane holds the current value. See the example .fd files how to define font substitutions additionally. To use CJK fonts as defined in older versions of CJK, you must rename all .pk and .tfm files and exchange subfont and size values: old name: b5so017 new name: b5so0701 b5so027 b5so0702 . . . . . . Caveats ------- o You can of course use CJK-environments inside of a CJK-environment, but it is possible that you must increase the so called save size (with emTeX you can adjust this with -ms=...). The CJK package has an optional argument which controls the scope of CJK environments: global \lccode, \uccode, \catcode and the activation of the characters 0xA1-0xFE will be globally modified (\lccode and \uccode reset to 0). This is the most economical mode concerning save size, but you can't have CJK environments inside of CJK environments or other environments which manipulate the character range 0xA1-0xFE. Packages which change some of the above values only once (e.g. in the preamble) will also not work after the first use of a CJK environment. local Only \lccode and \uccode will be modified globally. This is the default. You can stack environments. encapsulated If you want to use DC fonts outside of the CJK environment with \uppercase and \lowercase working correctly, you must use this option. All values mentioned above will be local, so you can stack environments. This option probably causes an overflow of the save size. Say \usepackage[option]{CJK} to activate 'option'. o There is an other way to overcome the above problem: CJK implements two low level CJK attribute switches: \CJKenc and \CJKshape, which take the same arguments as the CJK environment. If you need two different encodings/shapes at the same line, you must use these macros. An example: \begin{CJK}{GBs}{song} ... Text in GBs song ... \CJKenc{GBt} ... Text in GBt song ... \CJKshape{kai} ... Text in GBt kai ... \end{CJK} o The characters \, {, and } are used as second bytes in the Big5 encoding. If you write Big5 text, you should use the Bg5text environment which changes the category codes of these characters. The command prefix is now the forward slash /, and the grouping characters are ( and ) respectively. An example: \begin{CJK}{Bg5}{song} \begin{Bg5text} .... /begin(center) .... /end(center) .... /end(Bg5text) \end{CJK} o Be careful not to use any commands inside the Bg5text environment which write something in an external file (commands like \chapter etc.). To get the /, (, and ) characters, write //, /(, and /) inside the Bg5text environment. o If it's not possible to avoid Big5 character codes with \, {, or } outside of the Bg5text environment (e.g. having Big5-text in a \chapter or \section command), you can replace them with the \CJKchar macro manually: \section{This is a problematic Big5 character: \CJKchar{169}{92}} The parameters are the first and second byte of the Big5 character code. You can also use hexadecimal or octal notation. o You can't use Big5 characters in any command which uses \uppercase or \lowercase, i.e. \chapter, \article etc. --- this affects all standard document classes, which convert page headers to uppercase. It's possible to overcome this restriction by substituting all affected Big5 characters with the appropriate \CJKchar, i.e. for \uppercase characters with the second byte in the range to a-z (and A-Z for \lowercase respectively). A quick and dirty solution to disable \uppercase is to say \let\uppercase\relax before \begin{document}, but be aware that some commands like \Roman will behave unexpectedly. The clean way would be either to use a document class which does not convert headers to uppercase or to write a small package modifying the sectioning commands to remove the \uppercase commands. o The same holds for ALL CJK encoding schemes if you use DC fonts because these 8-bit fonts have most \lccode's and \uccode's set in the range 0x80-0xFF. Possible errors --------------- o If you write Chinese (or Japanese) text, don't forget to suppress the linefeed character with a trailing `%', otherwise you get unwanted spaces in the output. o If you get the error message: "\CJK@min (or \CJK@max) undefined", you should insert a \newpage before saying \end{CJK}. This can happen if LaTeX writes the headers (or footers) of a page containing Chinese characters after closing the CJK environment. o If you get overfull hboxes caused by CJK characters, try to increase \CJKglue. It defines the glue between CJK characters; default value is \hskip 0pt plus 0.8pt . o If you encounter a TeX stack overflow caused by {\CJKenc{...} ....}, you should write \CJKenc{new_encoding} ... \CJKenc{old_encoding} instead. Or (better) increase the stack size as discussed above. Author ------ Werner Lemberg (A7621GAC@awiuni11.bitnet) Please report any errors or suggestions to this email-address.
