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.
