The PostScript Type 1 implementation of the Computer Modern fonts produced by
|
|
|
7 |
and previously distributed by Blue Sky Research and Y&Y, Inc. are now freely
|
|
|
8 |
available for general use. This has been accomplished through the cooperation
|
|
|
9 |
of a consortium of scientific publishers with Blue Sky Research and Y&Y.
|
|
|
10 |
Members of this consortium include:

Elsevier Science
|
|
|

IBM Corporation
|

In order to assure the authenticity of these fonts, copyright will be held
|
|
|
19 |
by the American Mathematical Society. This is not meant to restrict in any
|
|
|
20 |
way the legitimate use of the fonts, such as (but not limited to) electronic
|
|
|
21 |
distribution of documents containing these fonts, inclusion of these fonts
|
|
|
22 |
into other public domain or commercial font collections or computer
|
|
|
23 |
applications, use of the outline data to create derivative fonts and/or
|
|
|
24 |
faces, etc. However, the AMS does require that the AMS copyright notice be
|
|
|
25 |
removed from any derivative versions of the fonts which have been altered in
|
|
|
26 |
any way. In addition, to ensure the fidelity of TeX documents using Computer
|
|
|
27 |
Modern fonts, Professor Donald Knuth, creator of the Computer Modern faces,
|
|
|
28 |
has requested that any alterations which yield different font metrics be
|
|
|
29 |
given a different name.

beyond any installation instructions included in this file. Installation
|
|

and use of these fonts may require some technical expertise. Review this

History
|
|
|
38 |
|
|
|
39 |
The PostScript versions of the Computer Modern fonts were produced in 1988
|
|
|
40 |
by Blue Sky Research of Portland, Oregon, and Y&Y, Inc., of Concord,
|
|
|
41 |
Massachusetts, who published the fonts in conjunction with their commercial
|
|
|
42 |
implementations of the TeX program.
|
|
|
43 |
|
|
|
44 |
Character outlines were derived from high-resolution METAFONT-generated
|
|
|
45 |
character bitmaps by the ScanLab application from Projective Solutions (Ian
|
|
|
46 |
Morrison and Henry Pinkham), applied and corrected by Douglas Henderson of
|
|
|
47 |
Blue Sky Research. Character hints were created by software from Y&Y
|
|
|
48 |
(Berthold and Blenda Horn), with extensive hand work by Blenda Horn. Font
|
|
|
49 |
engineering, production, and packaging were by Douglas Henderson and
|
|
|
50 |
Berthold Horn. The CMMI* fonts were revised in 1996 to conform to Knuth's
|
|
|
51 |
changes to the greek delta and arrow characters.
