The package provides the means of establishing a consistent set of fonts for use in a LaTeX document. It allows mixing and matching the Type 1 font sets available on the archive. Font-set definition takes the form of a set of options that are read when the package is loaded: for each typographic category (main body font, sans-serif font, monospace font, mathematics fonts, text figures, and so on), a font or a transformation is given in those options. The approach enables the user to remember their own configurations (as a single command) and to borrow configurations that other users have developed.

This package is needed to compile the documentation of all tkz- packages (like tkz-euclide).

Cinzel and Cinzel Decorative fonts, designed by Natanael Gama, find their inspiration in first century roman inscriptions, and are based on classical proportions. Cinzel is all-caps (similar to Trajan and Michelangelo), but is available in three weights (Regular, Bold, Black). There are no italic fonts, but there are Decorative variants, which can be selected by the usual italic-selection commands in the package's LaTeX support.

If PDF files are included using pdfTeX, PDF annotations are stripped. The Pax project offers a solution without altering pdfTeX. A Java program (pax.jar) parses the PDF file that will later be included. The program then writes the data of the annotations into a file that can be read by TeX. The LaTeX package pax extends the graphics package to support the scheme: if a PDF file is included, the package looks for the file with the annotation data, reads them and puts the annotations in the right place.

The package provides a means of creating presentations in MetaPost, without intervention from other utilities (except a distiller).

Commands that take an optional argument are not ordinarily expandable; this package allows such commands to be expandable provided that they have at least one mandatory argument.

This package provides an interface for selecting (arbitrary) font sizes and associated values.

The package provides OCG (Optional Content Groups) support within a PDF document, replacing the file.sty distributed with Asymptote. Nested OCGs are supported. The package may be used with pdfLaTeX and XeLaTeX.

This is a revision of chicagoa.bst, using the commonly-used annote field in place of the original's annotation.

This package allows you to typeset Bidi-aware shadow text. It is a re-implementation of the shadowtext package adding Bidi support.

This package offers a way to find keys in a given path recursively, unlike pgfkeysvalueof.

This package uses the l3regex package from the LaTeX3 programming layer to parse and highlight source code and demos. It is more powerful than the listings package, and more easy to use than minted. But it is slower than both of them. Therefore in LuaTeX the package provides another way to highlight code: using LPeg (Parsing Expression Grammars for Lua). LPeg is much more powerful and faster than l3regex.

The package aims to facilitate Russian typesetting (based on input using MicroSoft Code Page 1251). Russian hyphenation is selected, and various mathematical commands are set up in Russian style. Furthermore all Cyrillic letters catcodes are set to letter, so that commands with Cyrillic letters in their names may be defined.

This package provides a response to the assertion in a lecture that ``typography tends to lag behind other stylistic changes by about 10 years''. Knuth felt it was (in 1988) time to design a replacement for his designs of the 1970s, and came up with the Punk font! The fonts are distributed as Metafont source. The package also offers LaTeX support for them, although punk-latex is a better choice.

This PSTricks package enables you to produce oscilloscope screen shots. Three channels can be used to represent the most common signals (damped or not): namely sinusoidal, rectangular, triangular, dog's tooth (left and right oriented). The third channel allows you to add, to subtract or to multiply the two other signals. Lissajous diagrams (XY-mode) can also be obtained.

This package provides a LaTeX beamer template designed for researchers of Chongqing University. It can be used for academic reports, conferences, or thesis defense, and can be helpful for delivering a speech. It should be used with the XeTeX engine.

Epigraphs are the pithy quotations often found at the start (or end) of a chapter. Both single epigraphs and lists of epigraphs are catered for. Various aspects are easily configurable.

Philex provides means for creating and cross-referencing named or numbered environments. Possible uses would be equations, example sentences (as in linguistics or philosophy) or named principles. Cross references may refer either to the number, or to a short name of the target environment, or to the contents of the environment. Philex builds on the facilities of the linguex package.

The willowtreebook class is a simple book class, which the author uses for his lecture notes to be found on his web page Benjamin McKay. It actually just selects options for the more sophisticated memoir class.

This package provides a command much like hyperref's \url that typesets a URL using a typewriter-like font. However, if the dvips driver is being used, the original \url doesn't allow line breaks in the middle of the created link: the link comes in one atomic piece. This package allows such line breaks in the generated links.

The package provides macros to collect and process a macro argument (i.e., something which looks like a macro argument) as a horizontal box rather than as a real macro argument. The "arguments" are stored as if they had been saved by \savebox or by the lrbox environment. Grouping tokens \bgroup and \egroup may be used, which allows the user to have the beginning and end of a group in different macro invocations, or to place them in the begin and end code of an environment. Arguments may contain verbatim material or other special use of characters. The macros were designed for use within other macros.

The ffslides (``freeform slides'') class is intended to make it easier to place various types of content freely on the page, and therefore easier to design documents with a strong visual component: presentations, posters, research or lecture notes, and so on. The goal of the class is to be less rigid and less complex than some of the popular presentation-making options. It is essentially a small set of macros added to the article class.

The package introduces a command \shadowtext, which adds a drop shadow to the text that is given as its argument. The colour and positioning of the shadow are customisable.

The greektonoi mapping extends the betababel package or the Babel polutonikogreek option to provide a simple way to insert ancient Greek texts with diacritical characters into your document using a similar method to the commonly used Beta Code transliteration, but with much more freedom. It is designed especially for the XeTeX engine and it could also be used for fast and easy modification of monotonic Greek texts to polytonic. The output text is natively encoded in Unicode, so it can be reused in any possible way. The greektonoi package provides, in addition to inserting Greek accents and breathings, many other symbols used in Greek numbers and arithmetic or in the Greek archaic period. It could be used with greektonoi mapping or independently.
