############ A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE LM PACKAGE ############
###########################################################################
The current LM package contains the most recent version
of the Latin Modern family of fonts in the PostScript Type 1 and
OpenType format. The fonts are based on Donald E. Knuth's Computer Modern
fonts in the PostScript Type 1 format, released into public domain by the
American Mathematical Society (for the history of the outline version of
the CM fonts see, e.g., https://www.math.utah.edu/~beebe/fonts/bluesky.html ).
The project is supported by TeX users groups: CSTUG, DANTE eV, GUST,
GUTenberg, NTG, and TUG.
The Latin Modern fonts can be freely used and distributed under the GUST Font
License (see above) which is a slightly modified version of the LaTeX
Project Public License (LPPL; see https://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt)
* * *
The Latin Modern Family of fonts consists of 72 text fonts
(some of them have their counterparts in the standard Computer Modern
family, some not), namely:
lmb10.mp lmbo10.mp lmbx10.mp lmbx12.mp lmbx5.mp lmbx6.mp
lmbx7.mp lmbx8.mp lmbx9.mp lmbxi10.mp lmbxo10.mp lmcsc10.mp

lmvtko10.mp lmvtl10.mp lmvtlo10.mp lmvtt10.mp lmvtto10.mp
and 20 math fonts (being at the moment a duplicate of PL math fonts):
lmbsy10 lmbsy5 lmbsy7 lmex10 lmmi10 lmmi12 lmmi5 lmmi6 lmmi7 lmmi8
lmmi9 lmmib10 lmmib5 lmmib7 lmsy10 lmsy5 lmsy6 lmsy7 lmsy8 lmsy9
There is no OpenType format provided for math fonts,
instead, the OpenType Latin Modern Math font was prepared
(cf. https://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/lm-math).
Systems typically interact with users using the internal
names embedded within font files. As a convention, the
names of OTF files are usually lowercase versions of
these internal names. Below is a list of PostScript Type 1

The fonts, as compared to the CM family, contain a lot of additional
characters, mainly accented ones. To our knowledge, the repertoir of
characters covers all European languages as well as some other Latin-based
alphabets such as Vietnamese and Navajo; at the request of users, recent
extensions of Latin Modern provide glyphs sufficient for typesetting of
romanized transliterations of Arabic and Sanskrit scripts.
Detailed information about the Latin Modern glyph repertoire and
the grouping of fonts into subfamilies can be found in the file
/doc/fonts/lm/lm-glyphs_and_fams.txt.
* * *
We have frequently used the information presented by Michael Everson
at the ``The Alphabets of Europe'' (https://www.evertype.com/alphabets/)
web site. If you know about European languages that are not covered
completely or if some glyphs have apparently wrong shapes -- please let
us know. The list of fonts and characters available so far can be found
at the end of this file.
* * *
The LaTeX support, i.e., *.fd and *.sty files, is part of this
distribution (see below) but ConTeXt and XeLaTeX support for
Latin Modern is distributed separately, with the respective packages.
Note, however, that Latin Modern is the default family of fonts
for ConTeXt, therefore users do not need to load any specific files.
* * *
The package consists of the files in the directories conforming
to the TeX Directory Structure (v. 1.1), splitted into three archives:
lm2.003-bas.zip -- basic set; the directories contain:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
doc/fonts/lm this file plus a few LaTeX examples (test files);
tex/latex/lm the relevant LaTeX support files (very many thanks
to Daniel Flipo and Marcin Woli\'nski).
fonts/enc/dvips/lm support files for dvips (*.enc files); besides
the basic encoding files for Latin Modern fonts
(cf. also tfm files), the encoding files
for the substitution of CM, CS, PL, and VN fonts
with LMs are provided
fonts/map/dvips/lm support file for dvips (lm.map file); besides
the basic map files for Latin Modern fonts
(cf. also tfm files), the map files for
the substitution of CM, CS, PL, and VN fonts
with LMs are provided (substitution maps
were prepared by Staszek Wawrykiewicz
and Thomas Esser -- thanks for the help)
fonts/map/dvipdfm/lm map files for dvipdfm (mostly for math fonts
used in ConTeXt with XeTeX)
fonts/opentype/public/lm OpenType format (*.otf);
fonts/type1/public/lm PostScript (Type 1) font files and printer font
metric files (*.pfb and *.pfm, respectively);
fonts/tfm/public/lm TeX font metric files (*.tfm) for:
-- CS (CS TUG) encoding (cs-*.tfm),
-- EC (Cork) encoding (ec-*.tfm),
-- L7X (Lithuanian) encoding (l7x-*.tfm),
-- QX encoding (qx-*.tfm),
-- RM (``regular math'', used in OT1 and OT4)
encoding (qx-*.tfm),
-- Y&Y's TeX'n'ANSI aka LY1 encoding
(texnansi-*.tfm),
-- T5 (Vietnamese) encoding (t5-*.tfm),
-- Text Companion for EC fonts aka TS1 (ts1-*.tfm).
fonts/afm/public/lm Adobe font metric files (*.afm);
lm2.003mt1.zip -- Latin Modern source font files for the METATYPE1 package
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (fonts/source/public/lm); the version 0.48y of METATYPE1
is required, see ftp://ftp.bop.com.pl/pub/metatype1 ,
for the current version of the engine; in order to generate
a TeX font metrics with a given encoding, the respective
encoding file should be placed in the current directory
and renamed to lm-tex.mpe; otherwise a default encoding
(QX) will be used
lm2.003-otf.zip -- Latin Modern OpenType font files, for those who are not
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ interested in the whole bundle
* * *
The project has been launched and is supported by TeX USERS GROUPS
(CS TUG, DANTE eV, GUST, GUTenberg, NTG, TUG).
Hearty thanks to the representatives of these groups and also to all
people who helped with comments, ideas, remarks, bug reports, objections,
hints, consolations, etc. Perhaps the largest number of corrections
is the result of Karel P\'\i\v{s}ka's exhaustive and methodical efforts
in checking the quality of our results; also, he redesigned the `ring'
accent -- very many thanks, Karel.

Last but not least: hearty thanks to all people who helped with comments,
ideas, remarks, bug reports, objections, hints, consolations, etc.
