6 Universal Modern Fonts
(First available in 4.1L.)
The 9 new Universal Modern fonts are Windows ANSI TrueType versions of certain
Computer Modern typeface styles. We created these fonts using the same
precise techniques we used to convert the Computer Modern fonts to TrueType,
except that the character sets and encoding implemented in the fonts follow the
ANSI standard instead of the TEX versions. This conversion involved a
substantial amount of new METAFONT designs, since so many
of the ANSI characters are not found in the original TEX fonts.
Because the Universal Modern fonts
contain the complete ANSI character set in a Windows ANSI encoding,
they are fully compatible with non-TEX Windows applications using
English or Western European languages.
These fonts are especially suitable:
- For use with non-TEX applications to create a graphic inserts,
tables, or other items to be included in TEX documents
via the TEX \special command.
- For producing documents with text having a ``TEX look'',
but using a non-TEX application.
