This package converts latex files directly into PDF format. This gives much better typesetting and fonts than when a PS file is converted to PDF using ps2pdf utility. >How-To-Repeat: Try converting any Postscript document obtained by using 'latex' followed by 'dvips' and 'ps2pdf' on a .tex file. Compare the result with that using pdflatex on the .tex file. >Fix: Use pdflatex instead of the regular latex -> dvips -> ps2pdf sequence. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
