CTAN update: Latin Modern lm0992
by CTAN Announcements 06 Sep '05

06 Sep '05

On Tue, 6 Sep 2005, Staszek Wawrykiewicz submitted an update to the Latin Modern fonts (lm) package. Authors: JNSteam License: GPL Location on CTAN: fonts/lm Note that the directory contains an extra file lm0.99.2mt1.zip, containing fonts sources for MetaType1. The Latin Modern family of fonts is based on the Computer Modern fonts in the PostScript Type 1 format, released into public domain by the American Mathematical Society. The fonts, as compared to the CM family, contain a lot of additional characters, mainly accented ones, but not only. The current distribution contains: Latin Modern fonts in the PostScript Type 1 and OpenType formats, source files for MetaType1 plus all requisites for using the fonts with TeX/pdfTeX; there is one set of PostScript fonts and five sets of TeX Font Metric files, corresponding to: -- EC (Cork) encoding (ec-*.tfm), -- QX encoding (qx-*.tfm), -- TeX'n'ANSI aka LY1 encoding (texnansi-*.tfm), -- T5 (Vietnamese) encoding (t5-*.tfm), -- Text Companion for EC fonts aka TS1 (ts1-*.tfm). LaTeX *.sty and *.fd files were also added plus a few test files. Most important recent changes: 1. corrected some bugs in kerning (introduced incidentally in ver. 0.99.1) 2. .map and .enc files were uniformized. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.
