Summary description: A package for typesetting documents in base twelve
(also called "dozenal")
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
dozenal is a package for typesetting documents in base twelve, also called "dozenal." It includes a macro by David Kastrup for converting positive whole numbers to dozenal from decimal (base ten). It also includes a few other macros, redefines all the standard counters to produce dozenal output, and provides Metafont characters, in Roman, italic, slanted, and boldface versions of each, for ten and eleven (the Pitman characters preferred by the Dozenal Society of Great Britain). These characters were designed to blend well with the Computer Modern fonts.
This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/dozenal . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/dozenal (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

dozenal – Typeset documents using base twelve numbering (also called “dozenal”)
The package supports typesetting documents whose counters are represented in base twelve, also called “dozenal”. It includes a macro by David Kastrup for converting positive whole numbers to dozenal from decimal (base ten) representation. The package also includes a few other macros and redefines all the standard counters to produce dozenal output.
Fonts, in Roman, italic, slanted, and boldface versions, provide ten and eleven (the Pitman characters preferred by the Dozenal Society of Great Britain). The fonts were designed to blend well with the Computer Modern fonts, and are available both as METAFONT source and in Adobe Type 1 format.
