CTAN update: ly1enc.def

[CTAN Announcements]

that upload daemon was at it while i was coming home from work:

> The following information was provided by the package's contributor.

> Name of contribution: ly1enc.def
> Author's name: Karl Berry
> Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/psnfssx/ly1
> Summary description: dotless j support
> License type: lppl

> Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
> The existing LY1 support file for LaTeX (ly1enc.def) has always given
> a LaTeX error when the \j (dotless j) command is used.  However,
> dotless j has always been defined in the LY1 encoding (position 17,
> decimal), and many fonts, such as Latin Modern, do support it there. 
> 
> With David Carlisle's ok, this new version of the file treats \j like
> all other glyphs.  If it's there in the font, it's supported, and if
> not, there's a "missing character" warning in the log file.

> Questions to Karl.

i've installed the new version, and (minutely) updated the catalogue
repository.  thanks for the upload.

the sharp-eyed (and very keen) reader will spot the minute changes to
the catalogue entry, some time after i've gone to bed.
