The characters missing are mainly: +eth, thorn, and the sami letter eng. Sometimes the £ character is +also missing. For the typewriter fonts, the situation is worse. + +My idea with these fonts is that it should be possible to use the +exisiting Type1 versions of the CM fonts to produce PDF files even +when one needs hyphenation patterns other than English. + +It would be nice to have a font containing the missing caracters, in +order to make the layout fully T1. By the way, the name AE fonts was +chosen since the fonts are Almost European Computer Modern. + +To use the fonts, simply \usepackage{ae}. + +To use bitmap versions of the characters missing in the ae fonts, +\usepackage{aecompl}. + +Denis Roegel has constructed a separate package, aeguill, to produce +guillemets built with the polish CMR fonts, WNCYR fonts, LASY fonts, +or EC fonts. + +Changes since version 1.2: + +* The sans-serif slides fonts were added. Gilbert Ritschard contributed + support for those fonts in ae.sty; if the option [slides] is given, + the sans-serif slides fonts are used. + +Changes since version 1.1: + +* Matthias Köppe contributed an adjustment of the positioning of + umlauts and better kerning in some cases. + +* Added the files omsaer.fd and omlaer.fd to get rid of some + LaTeX warnings. + +Changes since version 1.0: + +* Denis Roegel contributed aecompl.sty; a style file which adds + (as bitmaps) the characters missing in the ae fonts. + +Changes since version 0.9: + +* ae.sty no longer fails if the EC fonts are not installed. +* The fi-type ligatures in aecsc are fixed. + +Changes since version 0.8: + +* Rolf Niepraschk contributed ae.sty. +* Some character heights and depths were corrected. + + +/Lars Engebretsen, <enge@nada.kth.se>, 2000-02-12. |
