On Sun, 9 Apr 2006, Christian Gollwitzer submitted an update to the
aurical
package.
Location on CTAN: /fonts/aurical
Summary description: Update of aurical: Two additional calligraphic fonts
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a major upgrade of the package aurical. In addition to
improvements of the kerning tables and some glyphs of
AuriocusKalligraphicus, two new calligraphic fonts have been added:
* LukasSvatba resembles a 16th century handwritten Bastarda. It has a variant with a long s for mediaeval writing.
* JanaSkrivana is an elegant cursive handwriting font with strong variations of the stroke width.
All three fonts cover the whole glyphset of the Cork/T1 encoding.
Installation is now made easy by a single zip archive, that can be
extracted directly into the TEXMFLOCAL directory.
Thanks for the update. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf
