- Computer Modern PostScript Fonts
- (Adobe Type 1 format)
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The PostScript Type 1 implementation of the Computer Modern fonts produced by
- and previously distributed by Blue Sky Research and Y&Y, Inc. are now freely
- available for general use. This has been accomplished through the cooperation
- of a consortium of scientific publishers with Blue Sky Research and Y&Y.
- Members of this consortium include:
- Elsevier Science
- IBM Corporation
- Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM)
- Springer-Verlag
- American Mathematical Society (AMS)
- In order to assure the authenticity of these fonts, copyright will be held
- by the American Mathematical Society. This is not meant to restrict in any
- way the legitimate use of the fonts, such as (but not limited to) electronic
- distribution of documents containing these fonts, inclusion of these fonts
- into other public domain or commercial font collections or computer
- applications, use of the outline data to create derivative fonts and/or
- faces, etc. However, the AMS does require that the AMS copyright notice be
- removed from any derivative versions of the fonts which have been altered in
- any way. In addition, to ensure the fidelity of TeX documents using Computer
- Modern fonts, Professor Donald Knuth, creator of the Computer Modern faces,
- has requested that any alterations which yield different font metrics be
- given a different name.
- The AMS does not provide technical support or installation assistance
- beyond any installation instructions included in this file. Installation
- and use of these fonts may require some technical expertise. Review this
- READ.ME file in its entirety before undertaking an installation.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- History
- The PostScript versions of the Computer Modern fonts were produced in 1988
- by Blue Sky Research of Portland, Oregon, and Y&Y, Inc., of Concord,
- Massachusetts, who published the fonts in conjunction with their commercial
- implementations of the TeX program.
- Character outlines were derived from high-resolution METAFONT-generated
- character bitmaps by the ScanLab application from Projective Solutions (Ian
- Morrison and Henry Pinkham), applied and corrected by Douglas Henderson of
- Blue Sky Research. Character hints were created by software from Y&Y
- (Berthold and Blenda Horn), with extensive hand work by Blenda Horn. Font
- engineering, production, and packaging were by Douglas Henderson and
- Berthold Horn. The CMMI* fonts were revised in 1996 to conform to Knuth's
- changes to the greek delta and arrow characters.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Font Distributions
- The canonical version of the Computer Modern PostScript Fonts is located on
- the AMS FTP server, ftp.ams.org, at /pub/tex/psfonts/cm. These fonts are
- also available on the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN) in
- fonts/cm/ps-type1/bluesky.
- The following three files are in this directory for you to download:
- cmps-textures.hqx for use with Textures, contains fonts in standard
- Macintosh Type 1 format
- cmps-oztex.hqx for use with OzTeX, contains fonts in standard
- Macintosh Type 1 format
- cmps-pc.zip for use on a Windows or DOS system, contains fonts
- in PFB format with PFM metrics files
- cmps-unix.tar.gz for use on a Unix system, contains fonts in
- PFB format with AFM metrics files
- Each distribution includes a READ.ME file which contains instructions
- for installing the fonts. Please review the READ.ME file in its entirety
- before undertaking to install the fonts on your system.
