Dvipdfmx (formerly dvipdfm-cjk) is a development of dvipdfm created to support multi-byte character encodings and large character sets for East Asian languages. Dvipdfmx, if "called" with the name dvipdfm, operates in a "dvipdfm compatibility" mode, so that users of the both packages need only keep one executable. A secondary design goal is to support as many "PDF" features as does pdfTeX. There being no documentation as such, users are advised to consult the documentation of dvipdfm (as well, of course, as the package Readme.

HarfBuzz is a text-shaping engine. If you give HarfBuzz a font and a string containing a sequence of Unicode codepoints, HarfBuzz selects and positions the corresponding glyphs from the font, applying all of the necessary layout rules and font features. HarfBuzz then returns the string to you in the form that is correctly arranged for the language and writing system.
A collection of recommended add-on packages for LaTeX which have widespread use.
Graphite provides cross-platform rendering for complex writing systems
Graphite is a system that can be used to create “smart fonts” capable of displaying writing systems with various complex behaviors. A smart font contains not only letter shapes but also additional instructions indicating how to combine and position the letters in complex ways.
The l3kernel bundle provides an implementation of the LaTeX3 programmers' interface, as a set of packages that run under LaTeX 2e. The interface provides the foundation on which the LaTeX3 kernel and other future code are built: it is an API for TeX programmers. The packages are set up so that the LaTeX3 conventions can be used with regular LaTeX 2e packages. All the files of the bundle are also available in the project's Subversion (SVN) repository
An extended version of TeX, from the NTS project
An extended version of TeX (which is capable of running as if it were TeX unmodified). E-TeX has been specified by the LaTeX team as the engine for the development of LaTeX 2e, in the immediate future; as a result, LaTeX programmers may (in all current TeX distributions) assume e-TeX functionality. Development versions of e-TeX are to be found in the TeX live source repository.
This bundle is a combined distribution consisting of dvips.def, pdftex.def, luatex.def, xetex.def, dvipdfmx.def, and dvisvgm.def driver option files for the LaTeX graphics and color packages. It is hoped that by combining their source repositories at https://github.com/latex3/graphics-def it will be easier to coordinate updates.
Path searching library for TeX-related files
Kpathsea is a library and utility programs which provide path searching facilities for TeX file types, including the self- locating feature required for movable installations, layered on top of a general search mechanism.
A library of functions for manipulating PNG image format files
The libpng package contains libraries used by other programs for reading and writing PNG format files. The PNG format was designed as a replacement for GIF and, to a lesser extent, TIFF, with many improvements and extensions and lack of patent problems.
A set of basic GNU tools commonly used in shell scripts
These are the GNU core utilities. This package is the combination of the old GNU fileutils, sh-utils, and textutils packages.
Knuth's final iteration of his re-interpretation of a c.19 Modern-style font from Monotype. The family is comprehensive, offering both sans and roman styles, and a monospaced font, together with mathematics fonts closely integrated with the mathematical facilities of TeX itself. The base fonts are distributed as Metafont source, but autotraced PostScript Type 1 versions are available (one version in the AMS fonts distribution, and also the BaKoMa distribution). The Computer Modern fonts have inspired many later families, notably the European Computer Modern and the Latin Modern families.
LaTeX is a widely-used macro package for TeX, providing many basic document formating commands extended by a wide range of packages. It is a development of Leslie Lamport's LaTeX 2.09, and superseded the older system in June 1994. The basic distribution is catalogued separately, at latex-base; apart from a large set of contributed packages and third-party documentation (elsewhere on the archive), the distribution includes: - a bunch of required packages, which LaTeX authors are "entitled to assume" will be present on any system running LaTeX; and - a minimal set of documentation detailing differences from the 'old' version of LaTeX in the areas of user commands, font selection and control, class and package writing, font encodings, configuration options and modification of LaTeX.
XeTeX is an extension of TeX that integrates TeX's typesetting capabilities with (a) the Unicode text encoding standard (supporting most of the world’s scripts) and (b) modern font technologies (TrueType and OpenType) and text layout services (AAT, OpenType layout, SIL Graphite) provided by the host operating system and available libraries. With XeTeX, the advanced typographic features provided by OpenType fonts become available for all TeX users, as well as support for complex non-roman scripts. XeTeX also eliminates the complex task of managing a TeX font installation. XeTeX is now part of the standard TeX distribution TeXLive and works well with TeX macro packages like LaTeX and ConTeXt.
A collection of fonts used in LaTeX distributions
This is a collection of fonts for use with standard LaTeX packages and classes. It includes 'invisible' fonts (for use with the slides class), line and circle fonts (for use in the picture environment) and 'LaTeX symbol' fonts. For full support of a LaTeX installation, some Computer Modern font variants cmbsy(6-9), cmcsc(8,9), cmex(7-9) and cmmib(5-9) from the amsfonts distribution, are also necessary. The fonts are available as Metafont source, and metric (tfm) files are also provided. Most of the fonts are also available in Adobe Type 1 format, in the amsfonts distribution.
The TeX Live software distribution offers a complete TeX system for a variety of Unix, Macintosh, Windows and other platforms. It encompasses programs for editing, typesetting, previewing and printing of TeX documents in many different languages, and a large collection of TeX macros and font libraries. The distribution includes extensive general documentation about TeX, as well as the documentation for the included software packages.
Zlib is a free, general-purpose, not covered by any patents, lossless data-compression library for use on virtually any computer hardware and operating system. The zlib data format is itself portable across platforms.
FreeType is a freely available software library to render fonts
FreeType is written in C, designed to be small,efficient, highly customizable, and portable while capable of producing high-quality output (glyph images) of most vector and bitmap font formats
Library for handling paper characteristics
The libpaper paper-handling library automates recognition of many different paper types and sizes for programs that need to deal with printed output.
This bundle provides generic access to Unicode Consortium data for TeX use. It contains a set of text files provided by the Unicode Consortium which are currently all from Unicode 8.0.0, with the exception of MathClass.txt which is not currently part of the Unicode Character Database. Accompanying these source data are generic TeX loader files allowing this data to be used as part of TeX runs, in particular in building format files. Currently there are two loader files: one for general character set up and one for initialising XeTeX character classes as has been carried out to date by unicode-letters.tex. The source data are distributed in accordance with the license stipulated by the Unicode Consortium. The bundle as a whole is co- ordinated by the LaTeX3 Project as a general resource for TeX users.
This package contains GCC shared support library which is needed e.g. for exception handling support.
The GNU C Library project provides the core libraries for the GNU system and GNU/Linux systems, as well as many other systems that use Linux as the kernel. These libraries provide critical APIs including ISO C11, POSIX.1-2008, BSD, OS-specific APIs and more. These APIs include such foundational facilities as open, read, write, malloc, printf, getaddrinfo, dlopen, pthread_create, crypt, login, exit and more.
Multilingual support for Plain TeX or LaTeX
The package manages culturally-determined typographical (and other) rules, and hyphenation patterns for a wide range of languages. A document may select a single language to be supported, or it may select several, in which case the document may switch from one language to another in a variety of ways. Babel uses contributed configuration files that provide the detail of what has to be done for each language. Users of XeTeX are advised to use polyglossia rather than Babel.
The Latin Modern family of fonts consists of 72 text fonts and 20 mathematics fonts, and is based on the Computer Modern fonts released into public domain by AMS (copyright (c) 1997 AMS). The lm font set contains a lot of additional characters, mainly accented ones, but not exclusively. There is one set of fonts, available both in Adobe Type 1 format (*.pfb) and in OpenType format (*.otf). There are five sets of TeX Font Metric files, corresponding to: Cork encoding (cork-*.tfm); QX encoding (qx- *.tfm); TeX'n'ANSI aka LY1 encoding (texnansi-*.tfm); T5 (Vietnamese) encoding (t5-*.tfm); and Text Companion for EC fonts aka TS1 (ts1-*.tfm).
Contains files used to build the Plain TeX format, as described in the TeXbook, together with various supporting files (some also discussed in the book).
Fontconfig is a library for configuring and customizing font access
Fontconfig provide different font according to requirements specified by applications,discover new fonts when installed automatically be used in concert with the X Render Extension and FreeType to implement high quality, anti-aliased and subpixel rendered text on a display
The libstdc++ package contains a rewritten standard compliant GCC Standard C++ Library.
This bundle provides a collection of model .ini files for creating TeX formats. These files are commonly used to introduced distribution-dependent variations in formats. They are also used to allow existing format source files to be used with newer engines, for example to adapt the plain e-TeX source file to work with XeTeX and LuaTeX.
A library and compiler for mapping and transposition
Resort to this library dedicated to encoding conversions and make sure the development and testing of mapping tables raises no issues whatsoever.
