However, priority will be +given to the completeness in language support to the 10pt-size, +as the view is to have a font that works by default with +a broad set of languages. + +They differ from Latin Modern in that they contain Greek and Cyrillic. + +They differ from cm-unicode in that the latin part is more extended, +the are adjusted to work easier for users of the Greek language +(Small Caps and other Lookups should work in all scripts). + +They differ from both LatinModern and cm-unicode in that the BoldSans +font is properly designed and they are not just the stroke extension +of the SansRegular. This currently covers Latin but soon it will +cover Greek and Cyrillic. It also differs in that the kerning table +for Greek is much improved. + +NewComputerModern will try to be a language-complete font (as much as +this is possible). So if you can provide information about glyphs for +any language not covered at this point, I will gladly add the glyphs. +Please notice that I will not design new glyphs from scratch. I will +gladly correct faulty splines or compose a character from existing +ones (such as accented) but the suggested to be added glyphs, must be +available from some source. For example, I know that a compatible +to cm font for Hebrew exists but I do not have any information more +than that. + +As far as the NewCMMath font is concerned, this is the same with +lm-math with BoldSans glyphs improved. So if you do not need BoldSans, +please use lm-math. The credit belongs to the developers of lm-math. +Work in math fonts is very very demanding. I do not want to take +any credit that belongs to others. However, more imrovements will follow. + +Antonis Tsolomitis +Professor +University of the Aegean +Department of Mathematics +Samos, Greece +atsol@aegean.gr + |
