Date: November 28, 2007 10:45:34 AM CET
On Wed, 28 Nov 2007, Werner Lemberg submitted an update to the
arphic
package.
These are font bundles for the Chinese Arphic fonts which work with the CJK package.
Arphic is actually the name of the company that which created the fonts
(and put them under a GPL-like licence).
Location on CTAN: /fonts/arphic
License type: gpl
Announcement text:
The four bundles contain revised versions of the four Arphic fonts bundles for simplified and traditional Chinese, as used in the CJK package for LaTeX. It fixes omissions of some vertical glyph representation forms, improves the TFM metrics (however, the widths stay unchanged), and provides smaller PFB subfont files due to a newer version of FontForge used in the conversion process.
This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts/arphic . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=arphic (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org . Please join a users group; see http://www.tug.org/usergroups.html . _______________________________________________ Thanks for the upload.
