### new sansmath on ctan

donald arseneau has submitted a new package sansmath.sty (pd licence),
and i've installed it in macros/latex/contrib/other/misc

the package defines a new math version 'sans', and a command \sansmath
that behaves somewhat like \boldmath.  detailed documentation is to be
found in the package file itself.

as always, thanks, donald.

### new release of uk tex faq (v3.5)

i've installed a new version of the uk tex faq, on ctan
(help/uk-tex-faq), on the www.tex.ac.uk/faq web page, and for
distributors on the private address they will already know.

this new version has a few more questions answered, a number of
updates and corrections of old answers, but textually there's been
little change.

the web appearance has changed slightly, but the big difference is
that there is now a "seach via google" link (which specialises the
search you request so that it only looks at the faq: Hans Nordhaug
found this facility for me).  i would welcome users' views on this
addition: the existence of the google facility obviously saves me the
trouble of writing a "proper" search mechanism (which has long been
delayed on my list of things-to-do), but if users dislike the google
arrangement, it won't continue.

as always, i welcome comments about, or suggestions or (best of all) actual
text, for the faq.  submissions should be sent to faq@...

### CTAN submission -- altepakete.pdf (obsolete but often used old stuff)

----- Forwarded message from Mark Trettin -----
I have uploaded altepakete.tar.gz' to ftp.dante.de/incoming/

Name of contribution: Das LaTeX-Sündenregister (sins of LaTeX users)

Suggested location on CTAN: info/german/altepakete/

Summary description: Obsolete commands, packages and other common
mistakes

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A small list of obsoleted commands and packages that are constantly
posted in "minimal examples" to de.comp.text.tex. I further listed
common mistakes (e.g. \begin{appendix}...\end{appendix} instead of
\appendix ...). This file should be considered an add-on to the
available documentation like l2kurz and FAQs.

This document is written in German.

Thank you very much for your informative documentation.  I installed it as
suggested in CTAN:info/german/altepakete/

### CTAN submission: updated font metrics for Lucida Bright and LuxiMono

Walter Schmidt asked us to update two packages:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have uploaded the file lucida-20030312.zip to the /incoming
directory at dante.ctan.org.  Please, unpack it to the CTAN
directory
fonts/metrics/bh/lucida

thus replacing the current files and adding some new ones.

These are updated fonts metrics and VFs for Y&Y's commercial
LucidaBright fonts.  Recent improvements to the "fontinst"
tool and changes to the TeXBase1 encoding made it possible
to fix some long-standing deficiencies:

* all typewriter fonts have got vertically centered
asterisks now;

* all textcompanion fonts have got vertically centered

* the Omega symbol \textohm is made available in all
textcompanion fonts.

See the file "readme.lucida" for further minor changes,
which affect the layout of the distribution.

I am fully aware, that these font metrics were updated only
recently.  Thus, it may seem as if an important piece of
software has become unstable as soon as I started touching
