This version (0.8.9) introduces a new default way of loading
the package, using \usepackage{biblatex-chicago} instead of
\usepackage{biblatex}, an interface that should be simpler
for those who want the standard settings, and more flexible
for those who don't.  I've also added new entry types and
new package options, as well as fixing a number of bugs. 
Please see the docs for all the details of these and other

URW++ original 35 fonts available under LPPL

From: Jerzy B. Ludwichowski
Subject: URW++ making original 35 fonts available under LPPL

I am forwarding the message below on behalf of Peter Rosenfeld, Managing
Director of URW++, who has kindly agreed to make the basic 35 PostScript
fonts also available under the LPPL.  At his request, I'll be
disseminating the information throughout the TeX community.

Many thanks to Dr. Rosenfeld!

Many thanks are also due to Karl Berry, TUG President, for his unswerving
support and advice and Bogus\{}aw Jackowski, lead TeX Gyre developer,
for pushing the issue.

Best,
Jerzy

Author's name: Ian Green, Scott Pakin
Location on CTAN: /fonts/recycle
Summary description: A font providing the "recyclable" logo
License type: gpl

Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
As Ian Green's recycle.readme states, recycle.mf "is awful code and
doesn't even put the logo in a box (properly)".  In practical terms,
this means that recycle.mf produces a number of Metafont "Inconsistent
equation" errors, which break many of the scripts that process
Metafont fonts.  Fortunately, running Metafont manually and forcing it
to ignore errors does seem to produce valid output.

To ease the pain of using the recycling symbol in (La)TeX documents
and to enable the recycling symbol to look good at arbitrary scale I
hereby provide recycle.pfb, a PostScript Type 1 version of recycle.mf.
recycle.pfb was produced by running recycle.mf through mf2pt1 and
tweaking the resulting Type 1 font in FontForge to relocate a few

CTAN Update: hyph-utf8

On Fri, 26 Jun 2009, Mojca Miklavec and Arthur Reutenauer submitted an update to 
the

  hyph-utf8

package.

Modern native UTF-8 engines such as XeTeX and LuaTeX need hyphenation patterns 
in UTF-8 format, whereas older systems require hyphenation patterns in the 8-bit 
encoding of the font in use (such encodings are codified in the LaTeX scheme 
with names like OT1, T2A, TS1, OML, LY1, etc).

The present package offers a collection of conversions of existing patterns to 
UTF-8 format, together with converters for use with 8-bit fonts in older 
systems.  Since hyphenation patterns for TeX are only read at iniTeX time, it is 
hoped that the UTF-8 patterns, with their converters, will completely supplant 
the older patterns.
