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.
