CTAN has a new package: cfr-lm
by CTAN Announcements 26 Oct '08

26 Oct '08

The package below has been installed on tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your local mirror. Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: cfr-lm Author's name: Clea F. Rees Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/exptl/cfr-lm Summary description: Enhanced support for GUST's Latin Modern fonts. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is experimental. The package supports a number of features of the Latin Modern fonts which are not easily accessible via the default (La)TeX support provided in the official distribution. In particular, the package supports the use of the various styles of digits available, small-caps and upright italic shapes, and alternative weights and widths. It also supports variable width typewriter and the quotation font. By default, the package uses proportional oldstyle digits and variable width typewriter but this can be changed by passing appropriate options to the package. The package also supports using e.g. different styles of digits within a document so it is possible to use proportional oldstyle digits by default, say, but tabular lining digits within a particular table. See the README for details. The package requires the official Latin Modern distribution, including ts (La)TeX support. The package relies on the availability of both the fonts themselves and the official font support files. Only the T1 and TS1 encodings are supported for text fonts. The set up of fonts for mathematics is identical to that provided by Latin Modern. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/exptl/cfr-lm .
