AFM to AFM plus Composites. Enables the use os PostScript fonts while typesetting texts in languages where accented letters are used. The font doesn't need to contain the complete alphabet of a given language; the presence of mere accents themselves (no whole accented characters) is sufficient. The configuration files of the a2ac program are independent on the PostScript font encoding and on the typesetting system encoding. The program may be used to prepare a font for any typesetting system, especially TeX. Latest recorded version is 2 1995/06/01. (1999/03/25)

afterpage

Visit CTAN:macros/latex/required/tools/ PDF Documentation Download from somewhere nearby (Search) Download from Dante Included in the teTeX distribution

Implements a command that causes the commands specified in its argument to be expanded after the curent page is output. Useful to flush floats, for example. For example, LaTeX's float positioning mechanism sometimes gets overloaded and all floating figures and table drift to the end of the document. One may flush out all the unprocessed floats by issuing a \clearpage command, but this has the effect of making the current page end prematurely. Now you can issue \afterpage{\clearpage} and the current page will be filled up with text as usual, but then a \clearpage| command will flush out all the floats before the next text page begins. Latest recorded version is 1.08. (1998/08/13)
