The only purpose I had in +mind while writing this package was to get the visual shapes +of TIPA with Unicode characters in the input. This purpose +is served very well by the CMU-serif font. Please refer to +the file CMU-serif.tex and its output pdf to see the +characters that differ visually. They are just 4 which is a +very small number and the difference is not very much. I +have compared almost all the characters, but commented the +ones which show the exact same visual shape. You can +uncomment those lines from the source code to test it +yourself. + +I apologize for providing a package that wasn't really +producing good results. A comment on StackExchange by an +expert user warned me about the use of Computer Modern +Unicode font, instead of using T3 encoding, but because of +my inexperience in LaTeX I assumed that this font is the +default font in every document (which isn't true). I tried +compiling a document with the default font i.e. Latin Modern +and I couldn't see the characters that I had listed in the +package documentation. Therefore I wrote this package. Now +that I have come to know about a more modern and recommended +way of getting the TIPA shapes in our documents, I am taking +this package back. The git repository of this project won't +accept issues and MRs henceforth, but the project +development and history will still be publicly available in +the archived state. + +Best, +निरंजन +2021/10/20 |
