Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : lmodern Version : 0.86-5 Upstream Authors : B. Jackowski and J. M. Nowacki from GUST * URL : http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/lm.html * License : GPL Description : scalable PostScript fonts for european character sets
The Latin Modern fonts, also known as "lm fonts", are a set of scalable fonts in PostScript Type 1 format. They are based on the PostScript Type 1 version of the Computer Modern fonts and contain many additional characters (mostly accented ones). The primary goal (well, mine and that of the upstream authors, as it seems) is to make these fonts available for the TeX machinery but it should also be possible to register with defoma so that other applications can make use of them. If you wonder about the version number: there is an unofficial lmodern package for these fonts at http://www.miwie.org/lm/ since August 2003 and its latest version is 0.86-4 (the transition between both packages should be smooth). cf. recent discussion[1] on debian-tetex-maint.
