ttf2afm: I've extracted ttf2afm from an older version of pdfTeX and slightly modified it, so that it can be built without the rest of pdfTeX and the kpathsea library. This might be useful if you want to use TrueType fonts with Lout without having to install TeX. You only need an ANSI/ISO C compiler; since it's only one file, there is no Makefile: Just say
cc -o ttf2afm ttf2afm.c
(you might need some cc options, e.g.,-Ae
for the HP ANSI C compiler on HP-UX).This is a little patch for Lout 3.24 that fixes a problem with empty lines in AFM files, and adds primitive support for three-letter ligatures.
Here is a modified report setup with support for various pdfmarks.
Here is a package containing a patch to
prg2lout
and two setup files providing (basic) support for typesetting Ruby programs.Here is a patched version of makepsres. makepsres uses existing resource database files to assist in identifying files. The patch fixes a problem in the use of existing
.upr
files when processsing the current directory. When reading these files, a leading./
in filenames would be removed, but it would not be removed when looking up the type of unknown files, so the lookup would fail.
It may also be handy if your version of X11 doesn't come with makepsres (anymore).
