Main news (see also the file NEWS in the distribution):
The bold Ibycus font is now available in Postscript format. It was converted from Metafont to Type1 by Harald Harders.
The regular Ibycus Type1 font should work flawlessly with Acrobat Reader 5 now; special thanks to Peter Heslin and Ralf Stubner, who succeeded to find and fix a long-standing bug.
Virtual fonts and related font metrics are no longer needed.
Fixed definition of the macro greek, so as to work also with default font encodings other than OT1.
New text-generating command extgreek as a counterpart to the declaration greek.
Improved installation intructions which should suit recent TeX systems.
Ibycus 4.5 is released under the GNU General Public License.
Thanks for the upload.
