-<h3>Finding &#8216;8-bit&#8217; Type 1 fonts</h3>
-<!-- eight -->
-<p/>Elsewhere, answers to these FAQs recommend that you use an
-&#8216;8-bit&#8217; font to permit
-<a href="FAQ-hyphenaccents.html">accentuation of inflected languages</a>,
-and also recommend the use of Type 1 fonts to ensure that
-you get <a href="FAQ-fuzzy-type3.html">good quality PDF</a>. These
-recommendations used to be contradictory: one could not just
-&#8220;switch&#8221; from the free CM fonts to free Cork- (or similarly)
-encoded Type 1 fonts. The first approach that started to alleviate
-these problems, was the development of virtual fonts that make
-a good approach to the Cork encoding (see below). Now, however, we
-have &#8220;true&#8221; Type 1 fonts available: as always, we have an
-embarrassment of riches with three free alternatives, and one
-commercial and one shareware version.
-<p/><i>CM-super</i> is an
-auto-traced set which encompasses all of the T1 and TS1
-encodings as well as the T2* series (the family of encodings
-that cover languages based on Cyrillic alphabets). These fonts are
-pretty easy to install (the installation instructions are clear), but
-they are huge: don&#8217;t try to install them if you&#8217;re short of disc
-space.
-<p/><i>CM-LGC</i> is a similar &#8220;super-font&#8221; set, but of much more
-modest size; it covers T1, TS1 and T2{A}
-encodings (as does <i>CM-super</i>, and also covers the LGR
-encoding (for typesetting Greek, based on Claudio Beccari&#8217;s Metafont
-sources). <i>CM-LGC</i> manages to be small by going to the
-opposite extreme from <i>CM-super</i>, which includes fonts at all
-the sizes supported by the original EC (a huge range);
-<i>CM-LGC</i> has one font per font shape, getting other sizes by
-scaling. There is an inevitable loss of quality inherent in this
-approach, but for the disc-space-challenged machine, <i>CM-LGC</i>
-is an obvious choice.
-<p/><i>Tt2001</i> is a simple scan of the EC and TC
-fonts, and has some virtues &#8212; it&#8217;s noticeably smaller than
-<i>CM-super</i> while being less stark than <i>CM-LGC</i>.
-<p/><i>Latin</i> <i>Modern</i> is produced using the
-program <a href="FAQ-textrace.html"><i>MetaType1</i></a>. The
-<i>Latin</i> <i>Modern</i> set comes with T1, TS1
-LY1 encoded variants (as well as a variant using the Polish
-QX encoding); for the glyph set it covers, its outlines seem
-rather cleaner than those of <i>CM-super</i>. <i>Latin</i>
-<i>Modern</i> is more modest in its disc space demands than is
-<i>CM-super</i>, while not being nearly as stark in its range of
-design sizes as is <i>CM-LGC</i> &#8212; <i>Latin</i>
-<i>Modern</i>&#8217;s fonts are offered in the same set of sizes as the
-original <i>CM</i> fonts. It&#8217;s hard to argue with the choice:
-Knuth&#8217;s range of sizes has stood the test of time, and is one of the
-bases on which the excellence of the TeX system rests.
-<p/><a href="FAQ-virtualfonts.html">Virtual fonts</a> help us deal with the problem,
-since they allow us to map &#8220;bits of DVI file&#8221; to single
-characters in the virtual font; so we can create an &#8220;&#233;&#8221; character
-by recreating the DVI commands that would result from the code
-&#8220;<code>\</code><code>&#8217;</code><code>e</code>&#8221;. However, since this involves two characters being
-selected from a font, the arrangement is sufficient to fool
-<i>Acrobat</i> <i>Reader</i>: you can&#8217;t use the program&#8217;s
-facilities for searching for text that contains inflected characters,
-and if you <em>cut</em> text from a window that contains such a
-character, you&#8217;ll find something unexpected (typically the accent and
-the &#8216;base&#8217; characters separated by a space) when you <i>paste</i>
-the result. However, if you can live with this difficulty, virtual
-fonts are a useful and straightforward solution to the problem.
-<p/>There are two virtual-font offerings of CM-based 8-bit
-fonts &#8212; the <i>ae</i> (&#8220;almost EC&#8221;) and
-<i>zefonts</i> sets; the <i>zefonts</i> set has wider coverage
-(though the <i>ae</i> set may be extended to offer guillemets by
-use of the <i>aeguill</i> package). Neither offers characters such
-as <code>eth</code> and <code>thorn</code> (used in, for example, in
-Icelandic), but the <i>aecompl</i> package works with the
-<i>ae</i> fonts to provide the missing characters from the
-EC fonts (i.e., as bitmaps).
-<p/>The sole remaining commercial CM-like 8-bit font comes from
-Micropress, who offer the complete EC set
-in Type 1 format, as part of their range of outline versions of fonts
-that were originally distributed in Metafont format. See
-<a href="FAQ-commercial.html">&#8220;commercial distributions&#8221;</a>.
-<p/>The shareware
-<a href="FAQ-TeXsystems.html">BaKoMa TeX distribution</a> offers a
-set of Type 1 EC fonts, as an extra shareware option. (As far
-as the present author can tell, these fonts are <em>only</em> available
-to users of BaKoMa TeX: they are stored in an archive format that
-seems not to be publicly available.)
-<p/>Finally, you can use one of the myriad text fonts available in Type 1
-format (with appropriate PSNFSS metrics for T1 encoding,
-or metrics for some other 8-bit encoding such as LY1). However,
-if you use someone else&#8217;s text font (even something as simple as
-Adobe&#8217;s Times family) you have to find a matching family of
-mathematical fonts, which is a non-trivial undertaking &#8212;
-see <a href="FAQ-psfchoice.html">&#8220;choice of scalable fonts&#8221;</a>.
