Restructuring and update. An attempt has been made to make the script more modular.
Insertion of Text Companion encoding fnt.subset declarations into font definition files
is now supported. This functionality must be explicitly enabled. Basic support
for sandboxing font builds is provided. This is enabled by default for fontinst, but can
be used independently if other tools are utilised.

Charles P. Schaum submitted an update to the
nameauth
package.

Summary description: Name authority mechanism for consistency in body text and index
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I am delighted to announce the release of nameauth 4.1.
In addition to fixing bugs related to index sub-entries and
reducing some potential cases for warnings, new features allow
greater ease and flexibility in working with Roman names, easier
debugging, the ability of some macros to recall the previous name
data when using null arguments, more formatting tools, and the
overall simplification of workflow when recalling data associated
with names.
The documentation has been revisited to reflect this simplified workflow.
Examples have been improved for better clarity.
