+Wishes for Latin Modern
+
+Unfortunately, I will not be able to maintain this www page anymore. I am
+searching for a person that can do the work from now on.
+
+In de.comp.text.tex, there has been a discussion about the Latin Modern
+font family that is developed by Boguslaw Jackowski aka Jacko, and
+Janusz M. Nowacki.
+
+This list contains wishes for future versions of the Latin Modern
+font family (versions 0.86 to 0.92).
+
+At the moment, nobody maintains this page. Until a new maintainer is
+found it is difficult to add new items.

+ <b>Jacko/Janusz (2004-04-16):</b> <em>
+All kerning has been prepared from scratch. Previously, the starting point
+was AE family of fonts; the starting point for the current version of LM
+fonts were kerns of EC fonts. Extending them properly so that all necessary
+diacritical characters are kerned was the most tedious part of this stage of

+ <a href="mailto:h.harders@tu-bs.de">Harald Harders</a> (2004-07-19):

+ <a href="lm-kerning-092.pdf">lm-kerning-092.pdf</a> and
+ <a href="lm-kerning.tex">lm-kerning.tex</a>. Note the large
+ corrections needed for <code>quotedblleft</code> when it is used as
+ German style <em>right</em> quotation mark. This is caused by the
+ horizontally not centered <code>quotedblleft</code>. There is a simple
+ solution by using <code>quotedblleft.alt</code> etc. which are
+ horizontally centered. We do not see any disadvantage in using
+ these, even not for English texts.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <a href="mailto:olli@sopos.org">Oliver Heins</a> (2004-11-26):
+ Kerning between the bold and roman letters &lsquo;t&rsquo; and

+ is very ugly. Both italic and bold-italic are okay.

+ I like the &mu; that is a mixture from the u and the p, as it is
+ in cm-super (with serifs), more than the Latin Modern &mu; which
+ does not have serifs at all. But this topic seems to be controversial.
+ <a href="mailto:stefan-ulrich.nntp@zen.co.uk">Stefan Ulrich</a>
+ does not agree.
+ He thinks that most greek fonts don't have a serif at the descender
+ of the <code>\textmu</code>.

+ </li>
+ <li>
+ <a href="mailto:kirpal@rz.uni-leipzig.de">Gerrit Kirpal</a>:
+ The degree symbol (<code>\textdegree</code>) should have the
+ same size as the degree sign in degree celsius
+ (<code>\textcelsius</code>).
+ It should be slightly larger than used in <code>\textcelsius</code>
+ but much smaller than in <code>\textdegree</code>. A ratio of 2/5
+ between the diameter and the height of capitals would be nice
+ (in <code>\textcelsius</code>, it is 1/3 while it is 1/2 in
+ <code>\textdegree</code>).<br>
+ <a href="mailto:h.harders@tu-bs.de">Harald Harders</a>
+ I fully agree.
+ The <code>\textdegree</code> really is ugly in Latin Modern.
+ In addition, the outline of the ball in <code>\textdegree</code> is
+ too thin.
+ <br>
+ <b>Jacko/Janusz (2004-04-16):</b> <em>We also agree that the present
+ state of the art
+ is unacceptable. Will be touched as soon as possible.</em>
+ </li>

+ <a href="mailto:kirpal@rz.uni-leipzig.de">Gerrit Kirpal</a>:
+ The circled text symbols are better than in cm-super, but they

+ The <code>\pm</code> is ugly.
+ The original CM version is much nicer.
+ At least, the &lsquo;+&rsquo; part of the sign should be
+ symmetrical.<br>
+ <b>Jacko/Janusz (2004-04-16):</b> <em>
+ Hardly implementable to full extent. Knuth constructs plusminus
+ by shifting plus so that its bottom touches the baseline and next
+ places a bar (minus) on the baseline. This works for circa half of
+ the LM family. In the rest of fonts the glyph would be too high
+ (most notably in LMBX5, LMBX6, LMSSQBX8 and LMSSQBO8). We decided
+ that the resulting glyph should not be higher than ascender height;
+ if it would, we decreased its height par force.</em>

+ Some design dizes are not displayed correctly in Acrobat Reader
+ (at least version x86&nbsp;linux&nbsp;5.0.5), e.g.,

+ The umlauts in &auml;, &ouml;, and &uuml; as well as in
+ &Auml;, &Ouml;, and &Uuml; should be
+ at the same height as in the EC fonts.
+ This height is a compromise between the default placement in the
+ CM fonts and the placement in the CM fonts with
+ <code>(n)german</code>. Example:
+ <a href="umlauts.pdf">umlauts.pdf</a>,
+ <a href="umlauts.tex">umlauts.tex</a>.
+ <br>
+ <b>Jacko/Janusz (2004-04-16):</b> <em>

+ Zapf (there was a little chance) but we haven't managed to
+ arrange the meeting.
+ </em>
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Arni Magnusson (2004-04-16):
+Thanks for creating the lmodern fonts. Icelandic LaTeX users have been
+using cm-super to render the Þ (thorn) and Ð (eth) characters in type 1,
+and although cm-super does a fine job, lmodern seems like a cleaner
+solution to the Þ and Ð problem.<br>
+I understand you are still working on the fonts, and I'd like to offer my
+comments on issues specific to Icelandic characters. If you open the three
+attached PDF documents (not provided here, Jacko does have the examples), you will notice mainly three differences: (1) the
+upper case Þ should carry its belly higher in lmodern, (2) the comma over
+the ú should have a lower angle, and (3) the neck of the ð should be bent
+further down. Knuth's bitmaps and cm-super look similar to books printed
+in Iceland.<br>
+The kerning is also an issue, in light of Knuth's original goal, described
+in the TUGboat 21(2): "the rendering [should] be the same in ten years
+[...] on everybody's machine it [should] come out the same, not only now
+but in the future." An ambitious goal, but at any rate, the smaller the
+kerning differences, the better.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Morten H&oslash;gholm (2004-06-11):
+At this years BachoTeX I talked to Boguslaw about adding some more
+ligatures to Latin Modern, as we in Danish really need fj. At
+<a href="http://www.eur.nl/fw/staff/lokhorst/metafont.html"
+>http://www.eur.nl/fw/staff/lokhorst/metafont.html</a> a lot of ligatures are
+shown, although not all of them are particular nice. He promised to look
+at it. (When you have the standard fi and ij ligatures, you would also
+think there should be an fij, right? In polish they have a common flower
+named `fijolet' making Boguslaw even more eager to add it... The Dutch use
+it in common words as `fijn' as well.) I guess this calls for a special
+fontencoding for Danish users.
+ <a href="mailto:h.harders@tu-bs.de">Harald Harders</a>:
+There are some good ligatures. But for example the fff ligature is useless
+in German. You should be careful in adding new ligatures.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Mart&iacute;n Dar&iacute;o Safe (2004-07-05):
+When using the lm package version 0.92, almost all occurrences of
+&#8216;ij&#8217; and &#8216;IJ&#8217; in your document will output ij
+and IJ Dutch digraphs. This seems inadequate for all European languages
+but Dutch. Also, this behaviour can prevent you from copying and pasting,
+searching, and indexing words containing &#8216;ij&#8217; on PDF
+files for non-Dutch texts.
+More description about that topic at

+ <a href="mailto:eckhard.neber@web.de">Eckhard Neber</a> (2004-07-09):

+>"http://www.evertype.com/alphabets/turkish.pdf</a>

+below. Both, [sS]cedilla and [tT]cedilla should be used in T1/Cork
+encoding, as the turkish [sS]cedilla would not be available otherwise,
+and using [sS]cedilla and [tT]commacent at the same time would be
+inconsistent. [sS]commaacent and [tT]commacent are still available via
+the QX encoding. Also, the EC fonts, which can be seen as reference
+implementation of the T1/Cork encoding, use [sS]cedilla and [tT]cedilla.

+The Latin Modern fonts are really needed in Spanish, so I am following its
+development with much interest. One thing I have notice, comparing last year
+printings &ndash; from August to be more precise &ndash; with printings done with the
+new version, is the horizontal placement of the acute accent. In the last
+year printing, the acute accent was a little bit to the right, but
+acceptable. The current version is too much to the left. And, in the case of
+the <code>&iacute;</code>, is imposible for me not to notice it every time I
+read it. So I would suggest to use the Computer Modern model to place the
+acute accent, which is just where it should.

+In thread "Italicalized old-style figures" from 2004-09-08 on
+comp.text.tex there has been some agreement to the opinion CM's
+old-style figures do look ugly. Is it possible for LM to provide nicer
+old-style figures?<br>
+As I'm completely ignorant about font design I don't really know what
+makes CM's old-style figures look so boring. And I don't know if a
+complete redesign would be necessary to get nicer ones. Maybe just
+slanting the current old-style digits <em>slightly</em> could make the
+single digits look more individual and less obstrusive?
+<br>
+<a href="mailto:h.harders@tu-bs.de">Harald Harders</a>:
+I think only a complete new design would help. For instance, the 1 and 3
+normally really look different in lining and old-style figures which they
+don't for LM. Slanting is wrong in my opinion.

+ I think Latin Modern should have a full set of Small Caps fonts
+ including bold series, italic/slanted shape as well as the sans serif
+ and type writer families.<br>
+ For the roman (serif) family of Latin Modern, the bold extended small
+ caps font shapes are missing
+ (&lsquo;LMCaps##-Bold&rsquo; and &lsquo;LMCaps##-BoldItalic&rsquo;).
+ <br>
+ <b>Jacko/Janusz (2004-04-16):</b> <em>
+Nice idea, although it would require a lot of work (see the remarks
+concerning the preparing of the bold typewriter variant). But it should be
+considered seriously, as Knuthian small caps are hardly usable in the context
+of OpenType fonts (see below). So, perhaps adding alternative small caps
+makes sense.
+ </em>
+ </li>

+ <a href="mailto:h.harders@tu-bs.de">Harald Harders</a>:
+ The slanted small caps font shape &lsquo;LMCaps##-Italic&rsquo;

+ With the package
+ <a href="ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/slantsc.zip">&lsquo;slantsc.sty&rsquo;</a>,
+ slanted small capitals
+ can be used, if the corresponding <code>fd</code> files contain
+ entries for font shapes <code>scsl</code> and <code>scit</code> for
+ slanted and italic font shapes, respectively.
+ <code>t1lmr.fd</code> already includes the font
+ <code>lmr/m/scsl</code> (Normal weighted slanted small capitals).
+ For the italic shape, a substitution could be defined:
+ <br><code>\DeclareFontShape{T1}{lmr}{m}{scit}{&lt;-&gt;ssub *
+ lmr/m/scsl}{}</code>.<br>
+ The same should be done for new small caps shapes (sans serif, bold,

+We work on it, but the task is not trivial. For example, metric files
+for cmr10 and cmcsc10 differ significantly. Compare the two excerpts
+from AFM files:
+<br>
+ cmr10.afm:<br>
+ <code>C 65 ; WX 750 ; N A ; B 32 0 717 716 ;</code><br>
