-
-<p>The original inspiration for Fontname was Frank Mittelbach and Rainer
-Schoepf's article in <cite>TUGboat</cite> 11(2) (June 1990), which led to my
-article in <cite>TUGboat</cite> 11(4) (November 1990), pages 512-519.
-Mittelbach wrote another article criticizing the scheme below in
-<cite>TUGboat</cite> 13(1) (April 1992), pages 51-53; most of his points are
-well-taken, but I saw no alternative then, and see no alternative now.
-Others of his points are addressed in the appropriate sections below.
-
- <p>In August 1995, Fontname version 2 was released, concomitantly with a new
-release of the PostScript fonts for use with LaTeX and Dvips. 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.
