If you have still not updated to the EC fonts and -are using the earlier test versions, known as DC then you should -unpack \texttt{newdc.ins} (for DC release 1.2 or later) or -\texttt{olddc.ins} (for the original releases of the DC fonts). -This should be done after unpacking \texttt{unpack.ins} but -before making the format by running ini\TeX{} on \texttt{latex.ltx}. -There are further details in \texttt{install.txt}. - - -\section{T1 encoded Concrete fonts} -The Metafont sources for T1 encoded `Concrete' fonts have been -removed from the \textsf{mfnss} distribution as they were based -on the now obsolete DC fonts release 1.1. Similarly the -\textsf{cmextra.ins} install file in the \textsf{base} distribution no -longer generates fd files for the `Concrete' fonts. -To use these fonts in either T1 or OT1 encoding it is -recommended that you obtain Walter Schmidt's \textsf{ccfonts} package -and fonts from CTAN \texttt{macros/latex/contrib/supported/ccfonts}. - - -\section{Further input encodings} -Two more \textsf{inputenc} packages have been added: for latin5, -thanks to H. Turgut Uyar; and for latin3, thanks to J\"org Knappen. - - -\section{Normalising spacing after punctuation} -The command \verb|\normalsfcodes| was introduced at the last patch -release. This is normally given the correct definition automatically -and so need not be explicitly set. It is used to correct a problem, -reported by Donald Arseneau, that punctuation in page headers has -always (in all known \TeX\ formats) been potentially incorrect if the -page break happens while a local setting of the space codes (for -instance by the command \verb|\frenchspacing|) is in effect. A common -example of this happening in \LaTeX\ is in the \textsf{verbatim} -environment. - - -\section{Accessing Bold Math Symbols} -The \textsf{tools} distribution contains a new package, \textsf{bm}, -which defines a command \verb|\bm| that allows individual bold symbols -to be accessed within a math expression (in contrast to -\verb|\boldmath| which makes whole math expressions default to bold -fonts). It is more general than the existing \textsf{amsbsy} package; -however, to ease the translation of documents between these two -packages, \textsf{bm} makes \verb|\boldsymbol| an alias for -\verb|\bm|. - -This package was previously made available from the `contrib' area of -the CTAN archives, and as part of Y\&Y's \LaTeX\ support for the -MathTime fonts. - - -\section{Policy on standard classes} - -Many of the problem reports we receive concerning the standard classes -are not concerned with bugs but are suggesting, more or less politely, -that the design decisions embodied in them are `not optimal' and -asking us to modify them. - -There are several reasons why we have decided not to make such changes -to these files. -\begin{itemize} -\item - However misguided, the current behaviour is clearly what was - intended when these classes were designed. -\item - It is not good practice to change such aspects of `standard classes' - because many people will be relying on them. -\end{itemize} - -We have therefore decided not to even consider making such -modifications, nor to spend time justifying that decision. This does -not mean that we do not agree that there are many deficiencies in the -design of these classes, but we have many tasks with higher priority -than continually explaining why the standard classes for \LaTeX{} -cannot be changed. - -We would, of course, welcome the production of better classes, or of -packages that can be used to enhance these classes. - - -\section{New addresses for TUG} -For information about joining the \TeX{} Users Group, and about lots -of other \LaTeX-related matters, please contact -them at their new address: -\begin{quote}\small - \TeX{} Users Group, P.O.
