In addition, numerous bugs and flaws have been fixed -and the distribution has been `cleaned up'. The file -\file{changes.txt} contains a detailed list of these changes. -\latex{\looseness=-1} %%!!!!! It worked! - -The documentation (in \file{psnfss2e.pdf}) has been completely -rewritten to provide a comprehensive introduction to the use -of PostScript fonts. - -Notice that the new \PSNFSS{} needs updated files for font metrics, -virtual fonts and font definitions. If you received the new -version~(8.1) as part of a complete \TeX{} system then these new font -files should also have been installed. However, if you intend to -install or update \PSNFSS{} yourself, please read the instructions in -the file \file{00readme.txt} of the new \PSNFSS{} distribution. - -Support for commercial PostScript fonts, such as -Lucida~Bright, has been removed from the basic distribution; -it is now available from \ctan{}: -\begin{latexonly} - \file{\ctanhttp macros/latex/\\ - contrib/supported/psnfssx}. -\end{latexonly} -\begin{htmlonly} - \url{http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/psnfssx}. -\end{htmlonly} - -\section{New AMS-\LaTeX{}} - -Version 2.0 of AMS-\LaTeX{} was released on December 1, 1999.
