CTAN update: fontspec
Will Robertson submitted an update to the fontspec package. Version number: 2.4c License type: lppl1.3 Summary description: Advanced font selection in XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX. Announcement text: -- A few bugs that were long overdue for fixing -- apologies for the delay. Change history -- - v2.4c (2015/03/14) * v2.4b was never released, sorry! * This time *really* fix \@fnsymbol and avoid overwriting it if already fixed. * Fix Renderer=Graphite (off-by-one error). * Fix some edge cases for \aliasfontfeature. - v2.4b (2014/08/23) * Improve backwards compatibility w.r.t. recent argument order change; specifically, if an optional argument is presented before the font name then avoid looking for one afterwards. * Fix \@fnsymbol; it was defined as a \protected macro, where in fact its internal text-or-math switch needed to be instead. * No longer lowercase fontnames internally; this fixes a bug with loading mixed-case .fontspec files. * Fixed some documentation typos/inconsistencies related to recent changes. -- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/fontspec More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/fontspec We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

CTAN update: fontspec
quoth the daemon: Name of contribution: fontspec Author's name: Will Robertson Package version: v2.3 Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/fontspec/ Summary description: Font selection for XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: -- Long, long, long overdue, this release of fontspec brings a significant new feature which allows default font features to be selected on a per-font basis, and to store such customisations in a separate configuration file. This allows font authors to distribute config files with their texmf fonts so that filename-based fonts can be loaded as complete families without specifying all the tedious bold/italic names, etc. This feature has been barely tested; please let me know of any issues you come across. See section 7.1 in the manual for documentation of this feature. Official (read, terse) change notes follow. - v2.3 (2013/02/25) * Add support for per-font options in `\defaultfontfeatures` * Add support for `fontname.fontspec` per-font configuration files * Keep up-to-date with expl3 changes thanks for the upload; i've installed the new version, and updated the catalogue repository.

CTAN update: fontspec
i'm vacantly staring at my screen, but the daemon disturbs me with: Name of contribution: fontspec Author's name: Will Robertson Package version: v2.2 Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/fontspec/ Summary description: Advanced font selection in XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: -- This is a relatively large update for fontspec featuring quite a number of internal changes -- please report any troubles you find and I'll address them as swiftly as I can. The notes for this version release can be found below. Please ensure your version of the expl3 package is up-to-date before installing this update. Happy TeX-ing! Will - v2.2 (2011/09/13) * Support alternate selections in CharacterVariant (cvxx in OpenType) using new syntax `[CharacterVariant=5:2]`. * Add `fontspec`-compatible `\oldstylenums` and `\liningnums` commands. * New programmer's function `\fontspec_set_fontface:NNnn` (for use when `\zf@basefont` might previously have been queried). * Log file output is slightly tidier. * Some old lingering bugs squashed: - Small caps font selection was broken in some cases. (Thanks Enrico Gregorio.) - Fonts loaded by filename with under-specified shapes threw an error (e.g., asking explicitly for bold but not italic). (Thanks Vafa Khalighi.) * Documentation improvements largely due to Markus Böhning. * Many internal changes, among which: - `xkeyval` package no longer used for option processing; `expl3`'s `l3keys` used instead. This allows `fontspec` to be loaded before `\documentclass` (thanks Heiko Oberdiek for reporting the issue) and fixes a potential conflict with the `preview` package (thanks again Vafa). - Internal names changed; avoid \zf@basefont, \zf@family, etc. from now on -- there are public interfaces now to get access to the same information - Update `expl3` support to latest CTAN version. thanks for the upload; i've installed the new version, and updated the catalogue repository.

CTAN update: fontspec v2.0b2
that daemon pops up at the most inconvenient times. while i was working hard on my day job, it said: The following information was provided by the package's contributor.
