After -several years of experience, several modifications of the original -distribution seemed desirable: more precise specification of encodings -(see <a href="Variants.html#Variants">Variants</a>); machine-readable mapping files (the <code>*.map</code> -files in the distribution) and standardizing directory names as well as -font filenames (included in <code>supplier.map</code> and -<code>typeface.map</code>). - - <p>In Fontname version 1, some encoding variant characters (<code>0</code>, -<code>2</code>, etc.) have been reassigned to a <code>7</code> or <code>8</code> sequence -(see <a href="Variants.html#Variants">Variants</a>). Although this is an incompatible change, the -advantages of (1) consistency in naming encoding variants, and (2) -having some free variants makes it worthwhile. Also, not so -coincidentally, new metrics for PostScript fonts in the Cork encoding -were issued--same encoding, different metrics. So a new name served a -practical purpose as well. - - <p>Many people have contributed to this work.
