This package contains the OpenType Textura font Missaali and a style file for using it with XeLaTeX. Textura is a typeface based on the textus quadratus form of the textualis formata that late medieval scribes used for the most valuable manuscripts. The font Missaali is based on Textura that German printer Bartholomew Ghotan used for printing missals and psalters in the 1480s.

This font has two intended use cases: as a Gothic display font; and for emulating late-medieval manuscripts. In addition to the basic Textura letters, the font contains a large number of abbreviation sigla as well as a set of Lombardic initials. As modern typesetting algorithms are not intended for creating 15th century style layout, the package contains a XeLaTeX style file that makes it easier to achieve the classic incunabula look.

The EC fonts are European Computer Modern Fonts, supporting the complete LaTeX T1 encoding defined at the 1990 TUG conference hold at Cork/Ireland. These fonts are intended to be stable with no changes being made to the tfm files. The set also contains a Text Companion Symbol font, called tc, featuring many useful characters needed in text typesetting, for example oldstyle digits, currency symbols (including the newly created Euro symbol), the permille sign, copyright, trade mark and servicemark as well as a copyleft sign, and many others. The fonts are available in (traced) Adobe Type 1 format, as part of the cm-super bundle. The other Computer Modern-style T1-encoded Type 1 set, Latin Modern, is not actually a direct development of the EC set, and differs from the EC in a number of particulars.

The snapshot package helps the owner of a LaTeX document obtain a list of the external dependencies of the document, in a form that can be embedded at the top of the document. It provides a snapshot of the current processing context of the document, insofar as it can be determined from inside LaTeX. If a document contains such a dependency list, then it becomes possible to arrange that the document be processed always with the same versions of everything, in order to ensure the same output. This could be useful for someone wanting to keep a LaTeX document on hand and consistently reproduce an identical DVI file from it, on the fly; or for someone wanting to shield a document during the final stages of its production cycle from unexpected side effects of routine upgrades to the TeX system.

The package contains the OpenType medieval cursive font Aboensis and a style file to use it in XeLaTeX documents. The font is based on Codex Aboensis, that is a law book written in Sweden in the 1430s. Since medieval cursive is very difficult to read for modern people, the font is not suitable for use as an ordinary book font, but is intended for emulating late medieval manuscripts.

The font contains two sets of initials: lombardic and cursive to go with the basic alphabet, and there is support for writing two-colored initials and capitals. There are also a large number of abbreviation sigla that can be accessed as ligature substitutions. The style file contains macros that help to use the extended features of the font such as initials and two-colored capitals. There are also macros to help achieve even pages with consistent line spacing.

The package creates slides for on-screen presentations based on PDF features without manipulating TeX's typesetting process. The presentation flow relies on PDF's abilities to display content step by step. Features include:

• Free positioning of anything anywhere in painted areas on the slide, as well as in the main text block;

• Numerous attributes to control the layout and the presentation flow, from TeX's primitive dimensions to the visibility of steps;

• Feature inheritance from global to local settings, with intermediate types; Basic drawing facilities to produce symbols, e.g., for list items or buttons;

• Colours, transparency, shades, and pictures;

• Navigation with links, pop-up menus, and customizable bookmarks;

• Easy switch between presentation and handout; and PDF transitions.

Besides the traditional documentation, the distribution includes visual documentation and six demo presentations ranging from geometric abstraction to classic style to silly video game.

The package is built for use with PSTricks. It provides macros for plotting and manipulating various mathematical functions:

• polynomials and their derivatives,

• Fourier sums,

• the Bessel function defined by its order;

• the Gauss function defined by sigma and mu,

• Bezier curves from order 1 (two control points) to order 9 (10 control points),

• the superellipse function (the Lame curve),

• Chebyshev polynomials of the first and second kind,

• the Thomae (or popcorn) function,

• the Weierstrass function,

• various integration-derived functions: normal, binomial, poisson, gamma, chi-squared, student's t, F, beta, Cauchy and Weibull distribution functions and the Lorenz curve,

• the zeroes of a function, or the intermediate point of two functions,

• the Vasicek function for describing the evolution of interest rates,

• implicit functions.

The plots may be generated as volumes of rotation about the X-axis, as well.

The keyfloat package provides a key/value user interface for quickly creating figures with a single image each, figures with arbitrary contents, tables, subfloats, rows of floats, floats located ``here'', floats in the margin, and floats with text wrapped around them. Key/value combinations may specify a caption and label, a width proportional to \linewidth, a fixed width and/or height, rotation, scaling, a tight or loose frame, an \arraystretch, a continued float, additional supplemental text, and an artist/author's name with automatic index entry. When used with the tocdata package, the name also appears in the list of figures. Floats may be placed into a row environment, and are typeset to fit within the given number of columns, continuing to the next row if necessary. Nested sub-rows may be used to generate layouts such as two small figures placed vertically next to one larger figure. Subfloats are supported by two environments.

The NCCtools bundle contains many packages for general use under LaTeX; many are also used by NCC LaTeX. The bundle includes tools for:

• executing commands after a package is loaded;

• watermarks;

• counter manipulation;

• improvements to the description environment;

• hyphenation of compound words;

• new levels of footnotes;

• space-filling patterns;

• poor man's Black Board Bold symbols;

• alignment of the content of a box; use comma as decimal separator;

• boxes with their own crop marks;

• page cropmarks;

• improvements to fancy headers;

• float styles, mini floats, side floats;

• manually marked footnotes;

• extension of amsmath;

• control of paragraph skip;

• an envelope to the graphicx package;

• dashed and multiple rules;

• alternative techniques for declarations of sections, captions, and toc-entries;

• generalised text-stretching;

• generation of new theorem-like environments;

• control of the text area;

• centered page layouts;

• un-numbered top-level section.

The bundle collects packages and classes, along with one bibliography style and examples and scripts for converting TeX files. Many of the files in the collection are designed to support field biologists and/or Russian writers, while others have wider application. The collection includes:

• add2, a quick way to fit as many as possible into one page, which is good for handouts.

• altverse, for typesetting verses.

• autolist, a means to define various sorts of list.

• biokey, providing flexible identification key tables in LaTeX. It implements straightforward macros to typeset sets of biological identification keys. Layout is flexible, and the macros will be useful in other disciplines.

• biolist, to list observed species. It offers pretty formatting of species lists of flora and fauna.

• boldline, for heavier lines in tables. The package provides commands replacing \hline and \cline, as well as a table preamble element that generates heavy lines.

• cassete, to print labels for audio cassettes.

• classif2, for biological classification tables. The package defines an environment classif that simplifies the process of typesetting classification tables.

• dline, for a double line on the left of text.

• drcaps, for simple dropped capitals. The package offers simple macros for dropped capitals, in a couple of forms.

• etiketka, a class for typesetting business-card-sized information (including business cards).

• flower, for typesetting lists of flower formulas.

• isyntax, which interactively checks LaTeX file syntax.

• numerus, for spelling numbers in Russian words.

• punct: within italicized text, punctuation is still straight, this is typographically more aesthetic.

• qqru, providing universal quotation marks, for Russian and English.

• rusnat, a bibliography style file, now deprecated.

• sltables, which simplifies tables for LaTeX. These macros develop the concepts of the stables, which are designed to offer table macros whose use is as simple as one might hope. Some would claim that LaTeX's built-in table specifications are as simple as one might hope, but this package offers many short-cuts and optimization of the mechanisms of tables.

• starfn, for stars as footnote marks.

• textfrac, for simple slanted fractions.
