On Thu, 1 Sep 2005, Staszek Wawrykiewicz submitted an update to the

Latin Modern fonts (lm)

package.

Package: Latin Modern fonts Authors: JNSteam License: GPL Location on CTAN: fonts/lm

Note that the directory contains an extra file lm0.99.1mt1.zip, containing fonts sources for MetaType1.

The Latin Modern family of fonts is based on the Computer Modern fonts in the PostScript Type 1 format, released into public domain by the American Mathematical Society. The fonts, as compared to the CM family, contain a lot of additional characters, mainly accented ones, but not only. The current distribution contains: Latin Modern fonts in the PostScript Type 1 and OpenType formats, source files for MetaType1 plus all requisites for using the fonts with TeX/pdfTeX; there is one set of PostScript fonts and five sets of TeX Font Metric files, corresponding to: -- EC (Cork) encoding (ec-*.tfm), -- QX encoding (qx-*.tfm), -- TeX'n'ANSI aka LY1 encoding (texnansi-*.tfm), -- T5 (Vietnamese) encoding (t5-*.tfm), -- Text Companion for EC fonts aka TS1 (ts1-*.tfm). LaTeX *.sty and *.fd files were also added plus a few test files.

Most important recent changes: 1. There is 12 fonts more, mainly tt light (tl), light condensed (tlc) and dark (tk) lmtk10, lmtko10 lmtl10, lmtlo10 lmtlc10, lmtlco10 lmvtk10, lmvtko10 lmvtl10, lmvtlo10 plus two fonts apparently missing their oblique counterpart: lmro17 lmtcso10

2. Experimentally, we included proportional digits, but their metrics almost surely will be chaned.

3. Apart from Knuthian asymmetric double quotes we introduced double quotes without extra space at the sidebearings. The old quotes will be used only in substitutions. Here also metrics may need an adjustment, namely, kerning pairs.

4. A few new glyph were added, a few glyphs were corrected.

5. Internal PostScript names of the fonts were uniformized (it has something to do with the grouping of OTF files into families).
