This encoding is fully compatible with old TeX encoding (OT1), +i.e. charcters 0-127 are the same as in original Computer Modern fonts, +so you can use IL2 font as if it were an OT1 font. Actually the *.fd files +provided do it this way :) + +However, fraktur font does not contain all characters from OT1 encoding +(notably the Greek letters) and I have placed the extra ligatures and +old umlauted letters in those empty slots. + +Characters 128-255 correspond to ISO-8859-2 (ISO Latin-2) with few +exceptions and a few extra characters. All accented letters from +ISO Latin-2 are in the right place (except for \c{t}), so you can +write documents directly in ISO and forget about combinig letters and +accents. Write "háček" instead of "h\'a\v cek" :). + +Vladislav Kurz +<vladki@email.cz> |
