This is the first stage of the program, i.e., it can typeset Bach's
inventions and similar music.
The program is still very limited. This first submission is more to spread
the word about TeXmuse so that the TeX community knows about it and can
try it, comment on it, etc.
The system was described in TUGBoat 24/2.

On Thu, 1 Sep 2005, Staszek Wawrykiewicz submitted an update to the
Latin Modern fonts (lm)
package.
Package: Latin Modern fonts
Authors: JNSteam
License: GPL
Location on CTAN: fonts/lm
Note that the directory contains an extra file lm0.99.1mt1.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 …
[View More]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. There is 12 fonts more, mainly tt light (tl), light condensed (tlc)
and dark (tk)
lmtk10, lmtko10
lmtl10, lmtlo10
lmtlc10, lmtlco10
lmvtk10, lmvtko10
lmvtl10, lmvtlo10
plus two fonts apparently missing their oblique counterpart:
lmro17
lmtcso10
2. Experimentally, we included proportional digits, but their
metrics almost surely will be chaned.
3. Apart from Knuthian asymmetric double quotes we introduced double quotes
without extra space at the sidebearings. The old quotes will be used only
in substitutions. Here also metrics may need an adjustment, namely,
kerning pairs.
4. A few new glyph were added, a few glyphs were corrected.
5. Internal PostScript names of the fonts were uniformized (it has
something to do with the grouping of OTF files into families).
