tabfigures - Using tabular figures with LaTeX ============================================= The tabfigures package is a collection of patches for using tabular figures in some LaTeX environments where numbers should line up vertically such as the table of contents and enumerations. Usage ----- To use this package, include \usepackage[<options>]{tabfigures} in the preamble of your LaTeX document. See the PDF documentation for the available options and other details. Installation ------------ 1. Run `latex tabfigures.ins` to generate the LaTeX package. 2. Create the following directories in a local texmf tree: - doc/latex/tabfigures - tex/latex/tabfigures 3. Copy all necessary files into the texmf tree: - tabfigures.pdf goes to doc/latex/tabfigures - tabfigures.sty goes to tex/latex/tabfigures 4. Afterwards, you may need to regenerate the file database: texhash License ------- Copyright (c) 2007 by Andreas Bühmann Copyright (c) 2012 by Michael Ummels <michael.ummels@rwth-aachen.de> This work may be distributed and modified under the terms and conditions of the LaTeX Project Public License, version 1.3c or greater (your choice).

tabfigures – Maintain vertical alignment of figures
Knuth designed his original fonts with tabular figures (figures whose width is uniform); this makes some layout problems rather simple. In more recent times, fonts (such as Minion Pro), which offer proportionally spaced figures, are increasingly being used.
The package provides mechanisms whereby such proportional figures may still be aligned in tabular style (for example, in the table of contents).
