CTAN has a new package: fntproof

This should be at your local mirror.

Jim Hef{}feron
Saint Michael's College

........................................................................

The following information was provided by our fellow contributor:

Name of contribution: fntproof
Version number: 1.0
Author's name: Daniel Luecking
Location on CTAN: /macros/generic/fntproof/
Summary description: Non-prompting version of Knuth's testfont.tex.
License type: pd

Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Package fntproof implements all the font testing commands of 
Knuth's testfont.tex, but arranges that information necessary 
for each command is supplied as arguments to that command, 
rather than prompted for. This makes it possible to type all
the 
tests in one command line, and easy to input fntproof in a file
and use the commands there. A few additional commands 
supporting this last purpose are also made available.

Name of contribution: purifyeps
Version number: 1.1
Author's name: Scott Pakin
Location on CTAN: /support/purifyeps
Summary description: Make EPS work with both LaTeX/dvips and pdfLaTeX.
License type: lppl

Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
While pdfLaTeX has a number of nice features, its primary
shortcoming relative to standard LaTeX+dvips is that it is
unable to read ordinary Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files,
the most common graphics format in the LaTeX world.
purifyeps converts EPS files into a "purified" form that can
be read by *both* LaTeX+dvips and pdfLaTeX.  The trick is
that the standard LaTeX2e graphics packages can parse
MetaPost-produced EPS directly.  Hence, purifyeps need only
convert an arbitrary EPS file into the same stylized format
that MetaPost outputs.

Version 1.1 includes two helpful changes.  First, in
