The README file was updated according to that. - - Note: The new Type 1 fonts have not been tested extensively. The previous - version is therefore temporarily available from - http://hroch486.icpf.cas.cz/velthuis/ and will be removed when we - know that the new version does not cause any problems. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -= 26 March 2005: version 2.12 - - - Modifed avagraha to remove the gap in the top-line between characters. - - - Corrected test parameters for Nepali family in Nepali fonts. - - - Regenerated TFM files for Nepali fonts. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -= 21 March 2005: version 2.12 - - - Revised alternate (Nepali) numeral 9. - - - Regenerated TFM files for Nepali fonts. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -= 14 March 2005: version 2.12 - - - Created Nepali Pen family METAFONT files, metric files, and LaTeX font - description file. - - - Revised dev.sty to add new package options (bombay, calcutta, nepali, - pen, penbombay, pencalcutta, pennepali) for global selection of the font - family (it will work with automatically generated captions). If none are - used, \dnoriginal will be used by default. - - - Added new macro to dev.sty, \dnfamilydefault, which stores the default - family of DN fonts. Default depends on the above mentioned package - options. The user is allowed to redefine it by \renewcommand. - - - Added new \pen macro to dev.sty, which switches to the "pen" variant of - the current family. - - - Added Vedic intonation marks macros \dnveda and \dnsamaveda to dev.sty. - Implemented according to the code from dnmacs.tex. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -= 28 February 2004: version 2.12 - - - Added Vedic intonation mark macros to dnmacs.tex. - - - Revised definitions for letter macros in dnmacs.tex. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -= 2 December 2004: version 2.1 - - - Added correct values for \baselineskip for the defined font sizes in - dnmacs.tex. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -= 1 December 2004: version 2.1 - - - Corrected erroneous output of ~a. - - - Removed redundant definitions of \qa and \qb from dnmacs.tex. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -= 8 April 2004: version 2.1 - - - Created Nepali regional variants for numerals 1 and 9. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -= 14 March 2004: version 2.1 - - - Created a font family for Nepali regional variants. Created new glyphs - for Nepali jha and half-jha. Created Calcutta regional variants for - .l and .L - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -= 5 March 2004: version 2.1 - - - Modified preprocessor to provide support for protected text. - Material within {\dn ... } (or $ ... $) may be enclosed within - angle brackets < ... >; it is then not processed, but is passed - through verbatim to the output file. - - - Modified the preprocessor to correct the output of the "half j~na" - glyph in @hindi and @modernhindi modes. - - - Modified the preprocessor to avoid using the control symbols \", \#, - \$, \%, \&, \'. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -= 28 February 2004: version 2.1 - - - Created font families for Bombay and Calcutta regional variants. Removed - general alternate font family. - - - Removed "sba glyph and replaced it with an open-ya. This open-ya is - used to create better conjuncts with word-final ya. Created new .n.na - conjunct based on Calcutta regional form. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -= 13 February 2004: version 2.1 - - - Created new alternate characters for 5 and 8. Modified the alternate - .na and half-.na characters - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -= 09 February 2004: version 2.1 - - - Created new alterate la, alternate "sa, alternate lla conjunct, and - alternate half-"sa characters. Modified the alternate front-a, initial - .r, initial .R, cha, jha, chya conjunct, and half-jha characters. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -= 25 January 2004: version 2.1 - - - Minor modifications to the documentation. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -= 01 July 2003: version 2.1 - - - Alternates for several characters have been developed and can be used in - separate alternate fonts along with standard fonts. The alternate - characters are: initial a, initial .r, .na, cha, jha, and their half - letters and ligatures; and the j~na and k.sa ligatures. - - - The source code for the fonts has been reorganized, making the - generation of custom fonts easier. The standard Metafont parameter mag - is now used to control the generation of fonts. All numeric parameters - that were in the control files have been moved to dndefs.mf, and only - mag is declared in the control files of the normal standard font. - Appropriate calculations and assignments are made in dndefs.dn. - Several optional variables have been added for use in base font files. - Boolean values optionally set in a control file determine whether to - select standard or alternate characters, and whether to select bold - and/or italic. The thick and thin paramters that were set directly in - some control files are now modified from a default value by multipliers - (thickmag, subthickmag, and thinmag). The advantage of this is that a - multiplier should remain constant, or nearly constant, for all point - sizes. This technique is used in the pen font control files. The bold - and italic boolean values set these multipliers transparently. defs.mf - has been renamed dndefs.mf. dnchars.mf contains both standard and - alternate characters. - - - The Plain TeX macros have been enhanced to make switching between - Devanagari fonts easier. Enhancements include support for all new - fonts, including pen, alternate, bold, and italic, at all the old - font sizes. - - - New font definition files have been added: udna.fd, upn.fd, upna.fd. - Also new Metafont control files dngen.mf, and dninit.mf. New macros - have been added to dev.sty to enable switching to the four new font - families. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -= 09 June 2003: version 2.02a - - - Bold, italic, bold italic, and pen fonts have been added. - - - The preprocessor was changed. Please refer to the change log - in devnag.c for specific details. - - - udn.fd has been changed to incorporate new font shapes and variants. - - - dev.sty was changed. The macro definitions have been made more robust. - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -= 09 April 2003: version 2.02 - - - Version 2.02 of the preprocessor has been released. The preprocessor was - modified to output all ^^* characters as \3XXw because it is more robust. - It also puts a definition of \DevnagVersion at the beginning of the - output file so that the new preprocessed files can be automatically - recognized. This version also defines a new preprodessor directive - @modernhindi, which functions in the same way as @hindi but uses far - fewer Sanskrit-style ligatures, preferring conjuncts built from - half-consonant forms wherever possible. The definition of @sanskrit has - been changed so that it now restores all the ligatures disabled by - @modernhindi, not just those disabled by @hindi. The sequences dmya and - hmya have been modified to produce d&mya, h&mya (rather than, as - previously, dm&ya, hm&ya). The special warning message prompted by the - long-defunct preprodessor directive @obeylines has been removed. - - - dev.sty was revised to make macros more robust. Several incompatibilities - with other packages have been remediated. Catcode problems may be - avoided by using the 'nocatcodes' option: \usepackage[nocatcodes]{dev} - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -= 21 March 2002: version 2.0a - - - Postscript Type 1 version of the dvng fonts have been created and - are now part of this package. Please refer to the readme file in the - misc/type1 directory for installation instructions. - - - Tom Ridgeway's dvpn fonts are now part of this distribution and - reside in the misc/dvpn directory. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - -= 23 January 2000: version 2.0 - - - devnag.c has been updated and greatly enhanced. If you have a previously - installed version of devnag, you must recompile the source. - A 32-bit DOS/Win95 executable (devnag.exe) has been provided. - - - dev.sty has been revised to fix certain \catcode problems. Several - new features have been implemented in the package. Refer to the manual - for descriptions. - - - The fonts have been revised. Certain characters have been modified. - The font metrics have not changed. - -============================================================================= |
