Some TeX projects on code.google.com

Just a quick post to flag up a couple of projects on code.google.com.

  • One for the Chinese TeX community: http://code.google.com/p/ctex-kit/. Quoting from the web site: “This project aims to bring together many existing efforts including xeCJK, zhspacing, LuaTeX related Chinese support, etc.”
  • The Y&Y TeX C source code: http://code.google.com/p/yytex/. A great commercial Windows TeX system in its time and one I still have installed to this day. Cost me quite a lot of money, as I recall, but it worked really well, especally DVIPSONE (the PostScript Driver) and the DVI previewer DVIWindo which had the full support of Adobe Type Manager (you’ll see that in the C code!). Y&Y, Inc. ceased trading in 2004 and subsequently donated the source code to the TeX Users Group which has released the sources under the GNU GPL.
