that upload daemon was at it while i was coming home from work:
The following information was provided by the package's contributor.
Name of contribution: ly1enc.def Author's name: Karl Berry Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/psnfssx/ly1 Summary description: dotless j support License type: lppl
Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
The existing LY1 support file for LaTeX (ly1enc.def) has always given a LaTeX error when the j (dotless j) command is used. However, dotless j has always been defined in the LY1 encoding (position 17, decimal), and many fonts, such as Latin Modern, do support it there.
With David Carlisle's ok, this new version of the file treats j like all other glyphs. If it's there in the font, it's supported, and if not, there's a missing character warning in the log file.
Questions to Karl.
i've installed the new version, and (minutely) updated the catalogue repository. thanks for the upload.
Users may view the package catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/ly1.html or they may browse the package directory at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/psnfssx/ly1
the sharp-eyed (and very keen) reader will spot the minute changes to the catalogue entry, some time after i've gone to bed.
