- abstract:
Until recently, all of the hyphenation patterns available for different languages in TeX were using 8-bit font encodings, and were therefore not directly usable with UTF-8 TeX engines such as XeTeX and LuaTeX. When the former was included in TeX Live in 2007, Jonathan Kew, its author, devised a temporary way to use them with XeTeX as well as the "old" TeX engines. Last spring, we undertook to convert them to UTF-8, and make them usable with both sorts of TeX engines, thus staying backwardly compatible. The process uncovered a lot of idiosyncrasies in the pattern-loading mechanism for different languages, and we had to invent solutions to work around each of them. - MAPS 37, 2008, 12-16

maps, context, layer, label, xy-arrangement- abstract:
Sometimes one needs to print a single label which will be glued onto a package, a large envelope or for the identification of a box. In certain situations one wants to produce a series of identical labels or one needs to typeset whole databases of addresses. ConTeXt offers the possibility of using the XY-arranging procedure to print on each of the labels being present on a sheet. Here a possible approach is presented for labels of the size 105 x 42.3mm i.e. (14 labels on a A4). It is shown how to print a single label but also how to get multiple copies of the same content and how to prepare sheets of labels containing the addresses of a database. - MAPS 37, 2008, 40-44

maps, context, layer, envelope- abstract:
Once in a while one has to prepare an envelope with printed address based on the guidelines provided by the Dutch mail service TNT. This short communication shows a way to achieve this with ConTeXt. The article shows the solution for the DL-type of envelope. From there, it is a small step to define other envelopes with different dimensions. - MAPS 37, 2008, 45-47

TeX Live 2008 has been released recently, and the DVDs are ready to go gold. This is the first release of TeX Live shipping the TeX Live Manager, tlmgr for short. Besides taking over some of the tasks from texconfig (which has never been available for Windows) it finally brings many new features to the TeX Live world, most importantly the option for dynamic updates. This article will present the new TeX Live Installer, the TeX Live Manager, and at the end lists other changes in TeX Live 2008. - MAPS 37, 2008, 73-89
