Isabella 0.91
I’ve just put up a font I created based on a calligraphic hand
from 1497: <<A
HREF=”http://www.thibault.org/fonts/isabella/>”>http://www.thibault.org/fonts/isabella/>;.
I’m releasing it under the GPL.
It’s not so great at sizes below about 12 point (no hints yet),
but it’s very pretty above that size. It has all of the non-control
characters up through Unicode 383 (plus a couple of dozen
miscellaneous others), so it should work for a lot of Western and
Eastern European languages.

Dr. Geo 0.9.7
Application
Dr. Geo 0.9.7
Description
Dr. Geo is a GTK interactive geometry software. It allows one to
create geometric figure plus the interactive manipulation of such
figure in respect with their geometric constraints. It is useable
with students from primary or secondary level.
Enhancements – Fixes
- Add the getAngle function in the DGS API. This method expects
one parameter, a reference to an angle object, it returns one
measure in DEGREE. To get a measure in RADIAN, use the getValue
function. - First implementation to turn Dr. Geo as a TeXmacs plug-in. It
is experimental and still very buggy. However when installing
Dr.Geo, the plugin for TeXmacs is installed. From TeXmacs the
plug-in can be found in Text->Session->Dr. Geo - Implement a minimal unit grid. It can be display per figure,
also it is saved a long the figure. - Implement an automatic upgrade system for the user preferences
file. The system is mostly entirely implemented in Scheme. This
will avoid problem seen when upgrading Dr. Geo from one version to
a subsequent one. - Updated translations of the user interface in Czech, Dutch,
French, German, Italian, Marathi, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish and
Swedish.
