They have been adjusted for color uniformity and stabilization. Thanks to Claudio Beccari for this. Latin letters in NewCM10-Regular and accented and built composites re-traced from public metafont sources and hand adjusted glyph by glyph so that with the redesign of Cyrillics and the agreement of C.

CTAN update: fontools
by CTAN Announcements 23 Apr '26

23 Apr '26

Marc Penninga submitted an update to the fontools package. Version: 2026-04-22 License: gpl2 Summary description: Tools to simplify using fonts (especially TT/OTF ones) Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This release brings a few changes to autoinst: - The new “-opticalsizes” option allows manually setting or overriding a font's optical size information. Several recent font families (Fraunces, Literata) contain multiple optical masters but no size information, instead making each optical size a separate family. The “-opticalsizes” option allows specifying the optical size range for each master, so that the fonts can be used as a single LaTeX family. - Autoinst now prints an informational message for all weights and widths that could not be mapped to standard NFSS codes. - A few bug fixes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/fontools The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/fonts/utilities/fontools/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
