Dvipdfmx (formerly dvipdfm-cjk) is a development of dvipdfm created to support multi-byte character encodings and large character sets for East Asian languages. Dvipdfmx, if "called" with the name dvipdfm, operates in a "dvipdfm compatibility" mode, so that users of the both packages need only keep one executable. A secondary design goal is to support as many "PDF" features as does pdfTeX. There being no documentation as such, users are advised to consult the documentation of dvipdfm (as well, of course, as the package Readme.
acquired package info from repodata DB: repodata/69e709f4d2852d98f12867a74015d19384fe2727ff670fd70178cdde80b1e77e-primary.sqlite.bz2
The program takes a semi-algorithmic specification of a font, and produces a bitmap font (whose properties are defined by a set of parameters of the target device), and a set metrics for use by TeX. The bitmap output may be converted into a format directly usable by a device driver, etc., by the tools provided in the parallel mfware distribution.
The canonical previewer for use on Unix and other X-windows based systems.
The TeX Live software distribution offers a complete TeX system for a variety of Unix, Macintosh, Windows and other platforms. It encompasses programs for editing, typesetting, previewing and printing of TeX documents in many different languages, and a large collection of TeX macros and font libraries. The distribution includes extensive general documentation about TeX, as well as the documentation for the included software packages.
BibTeX allows the user to store his citation data in generic form, while printing citations in a document in the form specified by a BibTeX style, to be specified in the document itself (one often needs a LaTeX citation-style package, such as natbib as well). BibTeX itself is an ASCII-only program; there is, however, a version that copes with 8-bit character sets. However, BibTeX's facilities rapidly run out as one moves away from simple ASCII (for example, in the various national sorting rules for languages expressed in different parts of ISO-8859 -- the "ISO Latin" series). For more flexibility, the user is urged to consider using biber with biblatex to typeset its output. In fact, it is best to avoid BibTeX in favour of biber and biblatex, if at all possible.
LaTeX package and font definition file to access the Knuthian mflogo fonts described in 'The Metafontbook' and to typeset Metafont logos in LaTeX documents.
Knuth's final iteration of his re-interpretation of a c.19 Modern-style font from Monotype. The family is comprehensive, offering both sans and roman styles, and a monospaced font, together with mathematics fonts closely integrated with the mathematical facilities of TeX itself. The base fonts are distributed as Metafont source, but autotraced PostScript Type 1 versions are available (one version in the AMS fonts distribution, and also the BaKoMa distribution). The Computer Modern fonts have inspired many later families, notably the European Computer Modern and the Latin Modern families.
This bundle provides a collection of model .ini files for creating TeX formats. These files are commonly used to introduced distribution-dependent variations in formats. They are also used to allow existing format source files to be used with newer engines, for example to adapt the plain e-TeX source file to work with XeTeX and LuaTeX.
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 Knuthian-style TeX systems are only read at iniTeX time, it is hoped that the UTF-8 patterns, with their converters, will completely supplant the older patterns.
A TeX extension that translates input on its way into TeX
EncTeX is (another) TeX extension, written at the change-file level. It provides means of translating input on the way into TeX. It allows, for example, translation of multibyte sequences, such as utf-8 encoding.
These files are regarded as basic for any TeX system, covering plain TeX macros, Computer Modern fonts, and configuration for common drivers; no LaTeX.
An extended version of TeX, from the NTS project
An extended version of TeX (which is capable of running as if it were TeX unmodified). E-TeX has been specified by the LaTeX team as the engine for the development of LaTeX 2e, in the immediate future; as a result, LaTeX programmers may (in all current TeX distributions) assume e-TeX functionality. Development versions of e-TeX are to be found in the TeX live source repository.
A collection of miscellaneous MetaFont source, including the means to generate the logo font that is used for MetaFont and MetaPost.
A collection of experimental programs and developments based on, or complementary to, the matter in his distribution directories.
Contains files used to build the Plain TeX format, as described in the TeXbook, together with various supporting files (some also discussed in the book).
LuaTeX is an extended version of pdfTeX using Lua as an embedded scripting language. The LuaTeX project's main objective is to provide an open and configurable variant of TeX while at the same time offering downward compatibility. LuaTeX uses Unicode (as UTF-8) as its default input encoding, and is able to use modern (OpenType) fonts (for both text and mathematics). It should be noted that LuaTeX is still under development; its specification has been declared stable, but absolute stability may not in practice be assumed.
Process application arguments the same way as getopt_long
lua_altgetopt is a MIT-licensed module for Lua, for processing application arguments in the same way as BSD/GNU getopt_long(3) functions do. This module is made available for lua script writers to have consistent command line parsing routines.
The package provides support for LaTeX documents to use many of the extensions offered by e-TeX; in particular, it modifies LaTeX's register allocation macros to make use of the extended register range. The etextools package provides macros that make more sophisticated use of e-TeX's facilities.
translations of the TeX Live installer and TeX Live Manager
This package contains the translated messages of the TeX Live installer and TeX Live Manager. For information on creating or updating translations, see http://tug.org/texlive/doc.html#install-tl-xlate.
Includes install-tl, tl-portable, rungs, etc.; not needed for tlmgr to run but still ours. Not included in tlcritical.
Provides sorted index from unsorted raw data
MakeIndex is a computer program which provides a sorted index from unsorted raw data. MakeIndex can process raw data output by various programs, however, it is generally used with LaTeX and troff.
This package contains the files needed to get the TeX Live tools (notably tlmgr) running: perl modules, xz binaries, plus (sometimes) tar and wget. These files end up in the standalone install packages, and in the tlcritical repository.
TeX fonts from the American Mathematical Society
An extended set of fonts for use in mathematics, including: extra mathematical symbols; blackboard bold letters (uppercase only); fraktur letters; subscript sizes of bold math italic and bold Greek letters; subscript sizes of large symbols such as sum and product; added sizes of the Computer Modern small caps font; cyrillic fonts (from the University of Washington); Euler mathematical fonts. All fonts are provided as Adobe Type 1 files, and all except the Euler fonts are provided as Metafont source. The distribution also includes the canonical Type 1 versions of the Computer Modern family of fonts. Plain TeX and LaTeX macros for using the fonts are provided.
A collection of programs (as web source) for processing the output of Metafont.
This package has been withdrawn from CTAN, and bundled into the distributions' package sets. The current sources of dvips may be found in the distribution of dvipsk which forms part of the TeX Live sources.
This bundle provides generic access to Unicode Consortium data for TeX use. It contains a set of text files provided by the Unicode Consortium which are currently all from Unicode 8.0.0, with the exception of MathClass.txt which is not currently part of the Unicode Character Database. Accompanying these source data are generic TeX loader files allowing this data to be used as part of TeX runs, in particular in building format files. Currently there are two loader files: one for general character set up and one for initialising XeTeX character classes as has been carried out to date by unicode-letters.tex. The source data are distributed in accordance with the license stipulated by the Unicode Consortium. The bundle as a whole is co- ordinated by the LaTeX3 Project as a general resource for TeX users.
Path searching library for TeX-related files
Kpathsea is a library and utility programs which provide path searching facilities for TeX file types, including the self- locating feature required for movable installations, layered on top of a general search mechanism.
This bundle is a combined distribution consisting of dvips.def, pdftex.def, luatex.def, xetex.def, dvipdfmx.def, and dvisvgm.def driver option files for the LaTeX graphics and color packages. It is hoped that by combining their source repositories at https://github.com/latex3/graphics-def it will be easier to coordinate updates.
A TeX extension for direct creation of PDF
An extension of TeX which can be configured to directly generate PDF documents instead of DVI. All current free TeX distributions including TeX live, MacTeX and MiKTeX include pdfTeX (Plain TeX) and pdfLaTeX (LaTeX). ConTeXt was designed around use of pdfTeX (though it is now migrating towards LuaTeX).
Am I running under pdfTeX, XeTeX or LuaTeX?
The package, which works both for Plain TeX and for LaTeX, defines the \ifPDFTeX, \ifXeTeX, and \ifLuaTeX conditionals for testing which engine is being used for typesetting. The package also provides the \RequirePDFTeX, \RequireXeTeX, and \RequireLuaTeX commands which throw an error if pdfTeX, XeTeX or LuaTeX (respectively) is not the engine in use.
TeX is a typesetting system that incorporates a macro processor. A TeX source document specifies or incorporates a number of macro definitions that instruct the TeX engine how to typeset the document. The TeX engine also uses font metrics generated by Metafont, or by any of several other mechanisms that incorporate fonts from other sources into an environment suitable for TeX. TeX has been, and continues, a basis and an inspiration for several other programs, including e-TeX and PDFTeX.
Designed for use with xdvi and dvips this utility converts Adobe Type 1 fonts to PK bitmap format. It should not ordinarily be much used nowadays, since both its target applications are now capable of dealing with Type 1 fonts, direct.
