+
+This is the changes log for the fontinst font installation package.
+
+Feb 4 1993, v0.01: Created the file, wrote an afm and enc parser,
+ started on a vpl writer.
+
+Feb 10 1993, v0.02: Rewrote the enc parser, generally hacked around,
+ imported trig.tex to convert Adobe's italic slope (expressed in
+ angles!) into a font dimension (expressed as a ratio!) grrrrrr...
+
+Feb 12 1993, v0.03: Tidied up the comments a bit, moved the
+ \fontlist out of \readafm, added \writepl (as well as \writevpl).
+ Replaced \fake{CHARACTER} by having the .fd file give default
+ definitions for \char-CHARACTER. Added the \map and
+ \ligtable entries to \char-CHARACTER. Redefined \ligtable,
+ \map and \codingscheme as token lists. Moved the \kernpair's
+ into \ligtable.
+
+Feb 16 1993, v0.04: Added FontName, FullName, UnderlineThickness and
+ Notice. Added the source font encodings, and MAPFONT.
+ Discovered a seriousish bug---if a character exists in the afm
+ file but is not in the source encoding, then the fake character
+ is still overwritten, since we don't know what the source
+ encoding is going to be until later. Fixed this by reading in
+ the source encoding first, and looking to see if there is a
+ character in the source encoding for the one in the afm file.
+ Added \topaccent.
+
+17 Feb 1993, v0.05: Added the visual centre parameter to \topaccent,
+ and added \botaccent and \doublechar. Fixed a bug where the
+ default \missingchar had a horizontal rather than a vertical
+ rule. Added \settoken.
+
+19 Feb 1993, v0.06: Fixed a bug whereby a character which was in the
+ source encoding but not in the afm file overwrote it's faked
+ version. Changed the default \missingchar to be independent of
+ the values parsed from the afm file (so it doesn't matter when
+ you set a \missingchar). Added \parameter and \ligatures. Added
+ \kernalikes and \copykern, which meant I had to split \ligtable
+ back into \ligtable and \kerntable, since when you say \copykern
+ you only want the \kerntable copied, not the \ligtable.
+ Redefined \map so that it's more portable---the contents of \map
+ are allowed to assume they start in font \startfont, should move
+ and should finish having moved right by \charwd and in font
+ \stopfont. This makes it possible to have composite characters
+ within composite characters---for example to make <ffi> out of
+ <f><fi> and <fi> is in turn made out of <f><i>.
+
+23 Feb 1993, v0.07: Introduced the \character token list (previously
+ all of the variables had been set by \char-FOO). \botaccent,
+ \topaccent, etc are now commands to be used inside \defchar, so
+ you can say something like \defchar{FOO}{\ifblah ... \botaccent
+ ... \else ... \topaccent ... \fi}. Added \cramchar. Added
+ the shift-left argument to \doublechar.
+
+24 Feb 1993, v0.08: Replaced \charic by \leftbearing and
+ \rightbearing. Made the assingments in a \char-FOO command
+ global, so we can protect local variables. Fixed a bug with
+ \getchar{FOO} which used to end up calling \the\character.
+ However, \the\character may contain other \getchar{BAZ} calls,
+ which will override the values of \kernalike, \source, \target,
+ etc. So \getchar can't call \the\character. Added \shrinkfont.
+ Made all the AFM variables counts rather than dimens. Added
+ \afmunits, and did all the conversion between AFM units and TeX
+ units as late as possible (which means we can alter \afmunits
+ locally and perform scaling). Added \getfont so fonts are now
+ loaded dynamically, and can be scaled. Added \shrinkchar for
+ producing c&sc fonts.
+
+3 Mar 1993, v0.09: Added \fractionchar, \inferiorchar and
+ \superiorchar. No character is produced for characters called
+ .notdef in the target encoding. Produced a first bash at a
+ complement encoding to Cork, containing the Adobe standard and
+ Expert characters missing from Cork.
+
+9 Mar 1993, v0.10: A major spring clean. Introduced ATX and ETX
+ files, so the parser for AFM files now reads an AFM file and writes
+ out the same information in a TeX-friendly fashion as an ATX file.
+ Similarly, an ETX file contains the same information as an ENC file.
+ Introduced \inputatx, \inputetx and \inputenc to input an ATX, ETX
+ or ENC file if it already exists and to make it otherwise.
+
+14 Mar 1993, v0.11: A continuation of the spring clean. Redefined
+ \getchars to define everything locally. Redefined \writechars to
+ read the encoding from a .etx file. Discovered I'd used the command
+ \afmchar twice(!) so I redefined one of them to be \rawchar.
+ Rewrote the LIGTABLE section.
+
+15 Mar 1993, v0.12: Finished the spring clean of the file generation.
+ Redid \writevpl and \writepl. Read the FUD file in after the ATX
+ files, so the FUD file can use the parameters read in by the ATX
+ file. Fixed a bug with \afmchar that wrote incorrect values
+ to \charactersize in the ATX file. Rewrote \fontdimens to write the
+ PARAMETERs out immediately (since we are now writing the VPL file
+ when reading the FUD file). Finished the LIGTABLE section, redid
+ \copykern.
+
+22 Mar 1993, v0.13: Rewrote the generation of ATX files, so kern table
+ information is gathered together as in a LIGTABLE. Renamed
+ \defchars to \readafm. Renamed \writevpl to \makevpl ... \endvpl,
+ and rewrote it to cope with the new syntax of ATX files.
+
+24 Mar 1993, v0.14: Added \lkern and \rkern entries to ATX files,
+ replacing \copykern. Added kern copying to LIGTABLEs.
+
+29 Mar 1993, v0.15: Added \boundarychar, \nextlarger and \varchar.
+ Fixed a bug with \lrkern.
+
+30 Mar 1993, v0.16: Fixed a bug whereby FONTDIMENS was being output
+ rather than FONTDIMEN. Also \writepl was generating a VPL file.
+ And I discovered a bug with dvips that means that fonts generated
+ with designsize and designunits R 9.9945 cause a rounding error
+ and dvips complains about a design size mismatch. Grr... Fixed
+ a bug with outputting ligatures for characters without
+ kernings---previously I output a LABEL without checking that
+ there were actually going to be any LIG instructions (which there
+ might not be if, for example, it was a monoweight font).
+
+4 Apr 1993, v0.17: Added the interactive prompt. Generated the .fd
+ file. \makevpl and \makepl don't overwrite files any
+ longer---they give a message saying `FILENAME.(v)pl already
+ exists.'
+
+17 Apr 1993, v0.18: Added \makefamily, \maketexfont and \makerawfont.
+
+27 Apr 1993, v0.19: Fixed a bug with \finishligs, which caused
+ multiple LABEL instructions to be put down (I had a \labelfalse
+ where I should have had a \labeltrue).
+
+4 Aug 1993, v1.00: Ripped it up and started again... v1.00 is going
+ to be a fairly complete rewrite from the ground up. I can keep:
+
+ * the AFM parser
+ * the ENC parser
+ * much of the VPL and PL writer
+
+ but the fud engine is going to be replaced by the notion of a
+ glyphbase. The idea will be that all of the information kept in
+ the ATX and FUD files will be put into one file called a
+ `glyphbase'. Then we'll have two utilities:
+
+ * \makerawfont{ENCODING}{AFMFILE}{FONTNAME}
+ will convert an AFM file into a glyphbase and a property list.
+
+ * \maketexfont{ENCODING}{GLYPHBASES}{FONTNAME}
+ will convert a collection of glyphbases into a virtual font.
+
+ For example:
+
+ \makerawfont{adobe}{Times-Roman}{ptmr0}
+ \maketexfont{T1ulc}{ptmr0,cork}{ptmrq}
+
+ makes the raw font ptmr0.pl, the glyphbase ptmr0.gly, and then
+ converts the glyphbases ptmr0 and cork into the font ptmrq. This
+ notion of glyphbase will also allow users to modify fonts easily,
+ for example you could write a little ptmhax glyphbase, which
+ would override the default cork glyphbase by saying:
+
+ \maketexfont{T1ulc}{ptmr0,ptmhax,cork}{ptmrq}
+
+ This will make it much easier to tweak fonts. I'll also specify
+ the glyphbase syntax, and do my best to make everything upwardly
+ compatible.
+
+ On the 4th of August I started on the above. I wrote
+ \makeglyphbase, which converts an AFM file into a glyphbase, and
+ I wrote the glyphbase commands to store the glyphbase information
+ in TeX. The main thing that's missing is the PL and VPL writers,
+ and the ligature, nextlarger and varchar entries.
+
+10 Aug 1993, v1.01: Edited trig.tex to remove uses of \then. Separated
+ \maketexfont into \inputglyphbase and \makevirtualfont. Added the
+ ability to write CHARACTER instructions, (OK, but not the MAPFONTs
+ yet).
+
+11 Aug 1993, v1.02: Only output CHARDP, CHARHT and CHARIC when they
+ are positive. Added the MAPFONT and \mapfont instructions.
+
+12 Aug 1993, v1.03: Corrected a bug where I was calling \inputetx
+ *after* an \openout\outfile, which caused the \outfile to be closed,
+ if the etx file had to be generated.
+
+22 Aug 1993, v1.04: Added the concept of variable and number expression.
+ Included trig.tex as part of this file. Changed design size to an
+ integer. Renamed `glyphbase' to `metric file', and changed the
+ syntax of ETX files. Only write out SELECTFONT instructions when
+ necessary.
+
+23 Aug 1993, v1.05: Added the font dimensions.
+
+24 Aug 1993, v1.06: Made the slot of each glyph an int variable like
+ any other. Added dim variables. Made designsize a dim variable,
+ which should cure a bug that was causing design sizes not to match
+ up. Added the LIGTABLE. Fixed a bug with \inputetx and \inputmtx
+ which caused the redefinition of \relax to survive past the
+ \inputFOO command. Fixed a bug with \vplrule, since I'd got the
+ arguments to SETRULE the wrong way round (again!).
+
+25 Aug 1993, v1.07: Added the VARCHAR and NEXTLARGER entries. Added
+ the encoding documentation commands. Renamed the file to
+ fontinst.sty.
+
+26 Aug 1993, v1.08: Added the documentation of MTX files.
+
+27 Aug 1993, v1.09: Corrected a bug with \comment. Added \tfmtomtx.
+ Removed the SCALE argument to \setrawglyph. Added \convertafm to
+ convert integer AFM units to a dimen, trying to minimize rounding
+ errors whilst avoiding rounding errors. Renamed \leftkerning and
+ \rightkerning to \setleftkerning and \setrightkerning.
+
+30 Aug 1993, v1.10: Added \resetwidth, \resetheight, \resetdepth and
+ \resetitalic. Added the ability to use \width{GLYPH} etc. inside
+ \setglyph{GLYPH}. Added everyglyph and everyendglyph.
+
+10 Sep 1993, v1.11: Discovered a bug with the VPL glyphs which was
+ causing it never to write out a SELECTFONT instruction.
+
+13 Sep 1993, v1.12: Added the \familyinst...\endfamilyinst commands.
+ Added commands to zero the fonts between calls of \makefont, so
+ one document can make a large number of fonts.
+
+14 Sep 1993, v1.13: FIRST ALPHA-RELEASE OF V1.
+ Changed the syntax of \useafm and \useetx to use
+ the same parameters as LaTeX NFSS. Removed the prefix f0 from
+ the beginning of the font names, in a pathetic attempt to fit
+ MS-DOS 8+3 filenames. Added the \tempfile command.
+
+4 Oct 1993, v1.14: Removed a spurious \let in \docnextslot. Thanks
+ to Damian Cugley for spotting that one. Added \usetfm to \familyinst.
+
+5 Oct 1993, v1.15: Fixed a bug with \dotfm, which was causing it to
+ generate a PL file, even though the font was already in TFM
+ format! Thanks again to Damian. Also changed
+ \let\Input=\@@input to a catcode hack, just in case fontinst.sty
+ is read in by LaTeX when @ isn't a letter. That one was spotted
+ by Paul Thompson.
+
+6 Oct 1993, v1.16: Replaced Phil Taylor's trig macros with David
+ Carlisle's. Added the PL parser. Fixed a bug with the bug fix
+ for \dotfm, where I'd removed an \inputmtx command that was
+ needed... And I fixed a bug which was causing the VPL files to
+ be generated once for each font that contributed to the VPL file.
+ Damian got those ones as well.
+
+11 Oct 1993, v1.17: Added the SIZE argument to \useafm and \usepl,
+ and redid the FD generation to use the size info. This should
+ allow fonts like Malvern to be generated at different design
+ sizes and still have a sensible FD file. NOTE: This means old
+ fontinst files will no longer work! I also made \pltomtx create
+ a \setdim{designsize} command.
+
+13 Oct 1993, v1.18: Fixed a bug with \calculateitslant which caused
+ it to bomb if the italic angle didn't have a decimal... this was
+ caused by allowing extraneous spaces at the end of the angle.
+ These have now been stripped away. Thanks to Paul Thompson for
+ spotting that one!
+
+15 Oct 1993, v1.19: Discovered a bug with \familyinst, which caused
+ only one ETX file to be loaded. This one was introduced when I
+ added the SIZE arguments, since I reorganized the main
+ \endfamilyinst loop. Serves me right! This is now fixed, but
+ I'm left with the problem that the sensible order to generate VPL
+ files is not the sensible order to generate FD lines in. FD
+ files need the SIZE parameter inside the SERIES and SHAPE,
+ whereas if a font is contributing to a number of SERIES and
+ SHAPEs but only one SIZE, then it's sensible to have it outside
+ the SERIES and SHAPE parameters. Oh dear...
+
+19 Oct 1993, v1.20: Added the glyph `missingglyph' which is produced
+ whenever a glyph is missing.
+
+3 Nov 1993, v1.21: Corrected a bug with \kerning, which was causing
+ \kerning{A}{V} to give the kerning between V and A! And I added
+ the PL names for the math font parameters NUM1--AXISHEIGHT.
+ Damian spotted those ones. Rewrote the main loop as I said I
+ would have to in the note on v1.19, so there's no useless
+ regeneration of fonts now.
+
+17 Nov 1993, v1.22: Restored the final parameter to
+ \DeclareFontShape which had disappeared somehow! Rob Hutchings
+ spotted this one. And I stopped trying to be clever about
+ checking to see if a glyph has been defined before using it.
+ This means you get a horrible error message if you try to use an
+ undeclared glyph, but hey ho. Trying to trap this has caused so
+ many problems with other things breaking that I think I'll give
+ up :-) Added the \glyphwarning command, and removed the
+ `missingglyph' glyph. Docstripped David's trig.doc into
+ trig.sty, so I don't have to worry about trig.doc generating the
+ trig.sty file. Saved the catcodes of ` ', `@', `~' `_' and NL so I
+ so I can use @ and _ for internal macro names, space and NL
+ for ignored white space, and ~ for `real' white space. Renamed
+ all the internal commands (apart from the documentation ones) to
+ have _ in their names.
+
+29 Nov 1993, v1.23: Added a check that a glyph exists before writing
+ it to a (V)PL file... this was causing fontinst to crash if there
+ was a glyph missing from an AFM file. Yannis Haralambous and Paul
+ Thompson spotted this one.
+
+23 Dec 1993, v1.24: Removed the \familyinst...\endfamilyinst interface,
+ and replaced it by \installfonts ... \endinstallfonts, which makes
+ it easier to generate FD files that look like standard LaTeX2e FD
+ files. Removed (I'm not sure if this is a great idea) the ability
+ to specify an encoding for an AFM file, since I'm not sure every
+ dvi-to-ps converter can re-encode raw fonts. I added the
+ \declarefamily command to specify which encoding string corresponds
+ to which ETX file.
+
+24 Dec 1993, v1.25: Redid the \declare... commands, and replaced
+ everyglyh and everyendglyph by sidebearings.
+
+25 Dec 1993, v1.26: Drank a lot.
+
+26 Dec 1993, v1.27: Added \setcommand, \resetcommand and \ifiscommand.
+
+27 Dec 1993, v1.28: Bug-fixes in \setcommand and \resetcommand. Redid
+ \pltomtx so that it can read the encoding from the CODINGSCHEME line
+ in the file. Moved the documentation and tables into fontdoc and
+ fonttab.tex.
+
+28 Dec 1993, v1.29: Removed the fd-commands argument from \makefont,
+ since the FD syntax is to allow FD-commands dependent on
+ encoding/family/series/shape but not on size. This means we can't
+ generate font-specific FD-commands, but I've never seen those used,
+ so I'm not too worried... Fixed a bug with the CC commands, which
+ was producing a glyph with a different width than its horizontal
+ escapement, and I'm not sure what every DVI driver would do with
+ that. Replaced \etxtopl with \mtxtopl. Replaced the GLYPH COMMAND
+ \rawglyph with the MTX COMMAND \setrawglyph.
+
+29 Dec 1993, v1.30: Fixed a bug with \setrawglyph, which wasn't
+ checking to see if the glyph was already defined. Added
+ \unsetglyph. Corrected the spelling of `\immedaite' (sic) in
+ \vpl_nextlarger.
+
+3 Jan 1994, v1.301: The glyph warning message is now only produced when
+ the glyph is used, rather than when it is defined. And I've moved
+ over to three-digit version numbers, since I was going through the
+ two-digit ones quite rapidly. Added \bye, so fontinst documents can
+ run under LaTeX as well as plain TeX. Added \unsetint, \unsetstr,
+ \unsetdim and \unsetcommand. Renamed \makefont and \makefamily to
+ \installfont and \installfamily.
+
+4 Jan 1994, v1.302: Fixed a bug with the definition of \bye.
+
+6 Jan 1994, v1.303: Added the FONTNAME argument to \installfont.
+ Actually got rid of everyglyph.
+
+8 Jan 1994, v1.304: Added minimumkern and \resetglyph. Fixed a bug
+ with \vpl_kerning, which was swapping the left- and right-kerns.
+ Surprising I never spotted this before...
+
+9 Jan 1994, v1.305: Worked on the MTX and ETX files.
+
+10 Jan 1994, v1.306: Worked on the MTX and ETX files.
+
+12 Jan 1994, v1.307: Edited the documentation.
+
+20 Jan 1994, v1.308: Added the rawscale integer variable, and the
+ \setnotglyph command. Redid the way that CC instructions are
+ processed, to use the dimensions stored in the glyph-not variables.
+ Set all of the saved VPL commands to \relax so that they can be
+ \edef'ed on without having to protect them. Replaced some \def\foo{}
+ by \let\foo\empty_command's. Replaced a large definition that was
+ being made by \CHARACTER (when parsing PL files) by a \let. Redid
+ the datatype used to store kerning so it uses control sequences as a
+ compact representation of glyph names. All in all, fontinst now runs
+ in 79% of the time and 77% of the space that it did last week.
+
+21 Jan 1994, v1.309: Saved some more time and space on the kern table.
+
+22 Jan 1994, v1.310: Added the `FONT scaled AMOUNT', made \setkern take
+ account of \int{rawscale}. Moved the change log into a separate
+ CHANGES file. Redid \samesize and \resetwidth so that the width is
+ adjusted by a MOVERIGHT, so the glyph will have the correct horizontal
+ escapement. Corrected a typo which had renamed \resetint to \setint
+ (oops!). Corrected a typo of `itslant' rather than `italicslant'.
+ Added the \transformfont command and \mtxtomtx. Changed the
+ definition of \unfakable{foo} in latin.mtx to look to see if there's a
+ glyph <foo-not> to get the dimensions for. Added a fake <space> and a
+ fake <dotlessj> which is a missing glyph rule with the dimensions
+ combined from <j> and <dotlessi>. Changed the default interword
+ stretch to be 1/3 of interword space, rather than zero. Removed the
+ checks for the existence of <space> and <x> in OT1.etx and T1.etx,
+ since these are now faked in latin.mtx. Renamed the PS/CM math fonts,
+ after a discussion with Karl Berry, added the OMS and OMX math fonts.
+ Added the Greek letters, digits and other humanists to unsetalf.mtx.
+ Added the DEFAULTRULETHICKNESS and BIGOPSPACING commands to the PL
+ parser. Fixed a bug I'd introduced by giving \vartop, \varmid,
+ \varrep and \varbot no parameters. Oops. Created timesmat.sty and
+ testmath.tex. All in all, a reasonable day's work...
+
+23 Jan 1994, v1.311: Added some more tests to testmath.tex. Added the
+ new math sizes to timesmat.sty. Fixed a bug with fontstnd.tex which
+ was causing it to generate the wrong FD entry for italic fonts. Fixed
+ a bug with CHARACTER parsing in \pltomtx which wasn't resetting the
+ values of WIDTH, HEIGHT, DEPTH and CHARIC between glyphs.
+
+24 Jan 1994, v1.312: Added the SEVENBITSSAFE command to the PL parser.
+
+25 Jan 1994, v1.313: Restored the catcode of ~, which I'd left as 10.
+ Made /, < and > in zptmcmrm come from cmmi rather than ptmri. Added
+ zptmcmr to fontptcm.tex, which is Adobe Times with +, =, (, ), [ and ]
+ taken from CMR. This means that [...] and (...) in text is different
+ from in math, but means that the delimiters are the right size for
+ math setting with CM symbols, and match the growing delimiters in cmex.
+ Moved the files ptmcmhax.mtx and psycmhax.mtx to zrmhax.mtx and
+ zrvhax.mtx.
+
+27 Jan 1994, v1.314: Took the textstyle and displaystyle big operators
+ in zpsycmrv from cmex8 rather than cmex10, since they are more
+ suitably sized for the <summation> and <product> from Adobe Symbol.
+ Made all the accents in latin.mtx zero depth (which TeX's math accent
+ placement requires). Discovered that cmex8 doesn't have a
+ CODINGSCHEME, so I added one by hand to the PL file.
+
+30 Jan 1994, v1.315: Replaced cmex8 in zpsycmrv by cmex9. Added
+ <epsilon1>, <pi1> and <rho1> to unsethum.mtx. Added the \skewchar
+ declaration for zptmcmrm. Fixed a bug which was causing negative
+ mathchardefs. Finished off the skewchar kerns for zptcmrm.
+ Renamed timesmat.sty to mathptm.sty, since there's already a
+ timesmat.sty.
+
+7 Feb 1994, v1.316: Fixed the \ProvidesPackage line in mathptm.sty.
+
+8 Feb 1994, v1.317: Fixed a bug with fontptcm.tex where I'd put the
+ \skewchar command in the wrong argument! Made the `size' argument
+ to \installfont an FD size specification. Added fakes for <lslash>
+ and <Lslash> built from <lslashslash> to latin.mtx. Added a check
+ that a ligature glyph exists before writing out the LIGTABLE entry.
+ Edited the documentation a bit---thanks to Karl Berry for comments.
+ Added the fontcmro example, inspired by Norman Walsh. Fixed a bug
+ with .fd file generation which caused multiple \DeclareFontShape
+ entries to be produced. Added \unfakable{endash} and
+ \unfakable{emdash} to latin.mtx. Sebastian spotted that one.
+
+10 Feb 1994, v1.318: Added \unfakable{dotlessi} to latin.mtx. Karl
+ Berry pointed that one out.
+
+1 Mar 1994, v1.319: Added the HEADER. Karl Berry pointed that one out
+ too.
+
+6 Apr 1994, v1.320: Write out a LABEL BOUNDARYCHAR ligable entry where
+ necessary. Alan Hoenig pointed that one out. Rewrote mathptm.sty
+ to remove some of the nastier hacks.
+
+7 Apr 1994, v1.321: Added the ability to generate font substitutions
+ in the FD files.
+
+8 Apr 1994, v1.322: Fixed a bug with font substitution which was
+ causing the font substitutions to be written out before the real
+ fonts. Moved the mathptm package to standing on its own.
+
+17 Apr 1994, v1.323: Added the top-level \latinfamily commands, and
+ updated the example files and documentation to use them. Added
+ OT1ci.etx. Made the list of files in an \installfont command
+ expanded before running along the list, so you can have a macro
+ which expands out to a list of files now. Added substitutions for
+ semibold and demibold, for upright italic, and for sc to nc. Added
+ OT19.etx, OT1c9.etx, OT1ci9.etx, OT1i9.etx, T19.etx and T1c9.etx.
+ Removed OT1o.etx.
+
+19 Apr 1994, v1.324: Removed italic and oblique small caps. Fixed a
+ bug which was causing the latin.mtx file to be read in inside a
+ group if a latin family without an expert font was created.
+
+25 Apr 1994, v1.325: Removed a bug which caused sc fonts to have the
+ same names as u&lc fonts. Fixed a bug which was causing oblique
+ fonts not to be generated properly. Fixed a bug with FD
+ generation which was producing too few arguments for
+ DeclareFontShape for substitutions.
+
+27 May 1994, v1.326: Made fontinst.tex a 2e document. Fixed a bug
+ with generating slant which was generating slant in design size per
+ point rather than points per point. Sigh. Ciar\'an \'O Duibh\'in
+ spotted that one. Declared this to be the first full release.
+
+1 Jun 1994, v1.327: Fixed bug with filename parsing which was losing
+ variants. Rewrote the encoding files to use the OT1 tt encoding
+ whenever monoweight is set. Removed the f-liagatures from the T1
+ encoding for monowidth fonts. Sebastian spotted that one.
+
+2 Jun 1994, v1.328: Fixed a bug with FD generation: I'd added the
+ extra argument for series substitutions but not shape
+ substitutions. Ta Sebastian again.
+
+3 Jun 1994, v1.329: Made Upsilon1 unfakable.
+
+15 Jun 1994, v1.330: Fixed a bug with font substitution which was
+ ignoring chains of substitutions such as bx -> b -> db. Added the
+ m->l substitution. Renamed the `mn' and `bn' series to `mc' and
+ 'bc'. Added the `k' and `m' series.
+
+16 Jun 1994, v1.331: Sebastian spotted another problem with
+ substitutions. If a font had both a series and a shape
+ substitution, the series was sometimes getting lost.
+ Steve Grathwohl pointed out that I'd forgotten to switch off
+ kerning before loading the math italic fonts in fontcmro.
+
+27 Jun 1994, v1.332: Added braces to \needsfontinstversion, which was
+ clobbering \a_dimen and \b_dimen. Fixed a bug with compwordmark
+ which was causing it to get letterspacing added to it. Added the
+ GLYPH-spacing variable to cope with this. These were
+ spotted by Constantin Kahn.
+
+29 Jun 1994, v1.333: Added \ProvidesFile line to the .fd files.
+
+16 Aug 1994, v1.334: Added \frompl, fixed bugs with \resetdim and
+ <ccedilla>---all reported by Constantin Kahn.
+
+9 Sep 1994, v1.335: Fixed a bug with NEXTLARGER and VARCHAR generation
+ which was causing the entries to be printed out for nonexistent
+ glyphs---spotted by Alan Hoenig. Updated the example installation
+ files for Times, Helvetica and Courier. Updated to a more recent
+ trig.sty, and added the hacks to allow trig.sty to be used outside
+ LaTeX2e. Made fontinst.sty initex processable, so you can save
+ memory by building your own fontinst format without plain. Fixed
+ the names of `narrow' fonts, which used to clobber the non-narrow
+ fonts---spotted by Peter Busk Laursen.
+
+12 Sep 1994, v1.336: Fixed a bug with fontcmro, which was listing the
+ 9pt font as being 10pt in the fd file---spotted by Steve Grathwohl.
+
+22 Sep 1994, v1.337: Corrected spelling mistake in \declareencoding in
+ error message of \CODINGSCHEME---spotted by Alan Hoenig.

+
+18 Nov 1994, v1.339: Added 8r.etx and 8r.enc from Sebastian.
+ Distributed a patched fontinst.rc file containing a reimplementation
+ of \latinfamily that uses the 8r encoding.
+
+21 Nov 1994, v1.400: Added missing \fi to 8r.etx---spotted by Steve
+ Grahthwohl. Added \mtxtopl for expert fonts in
+ \latinfamily---spotted by Rob Hutchings.
+
+29 Nov 1994, v1.401: Added hyphen+hyphenchar = hyphenchar lig to
+ T1.etx (so that foo-bar words can be hyphenated as foo<hyphenchar>
+ bar)---spotted by Frank Mittelbach. Made default stretch and
+ shrink 50% and 16.7% of <space> respectively. Added \everyjob to
+ fontinst.ini to load the fontinst.rc file---spotted by Rob
+ Hutchings.
+
+7 Dec 1994, v1.402: Corrected typos with 8r.etx---spotted by
+ Constantin Kahn.
+
+12 May 1995, v1.403: Mentioned the pl files in fontinst.tex, and added
+ the encoding TEX TEXT WITHOUT F-LIGATURES. Both spotted by John
+ Wells.
+
+16 Sep 1995, v1.500: Incorporated changes by SPQR and CK in their
+ fontinst.rc file. In detail... Added the \NOFILES debugging
+ option. Used SPQR and CK's complete reimplementation of
+ \latinfamily. Added the TEXBASE1ENCODING. Added \etxtopl and
+ \installrawfont. Added the setting of \errorcontextlines. Grabbed
+ T1i.etx from CTAN. Added the setting of \newlinechar (pointed out
+ by Constantin). Fixed bug with \resetcommand which stopped braces
+ around the csname from working (Contantin again). Removed the
+ contrib/zd directory at Constantin's request. Rewrote the
+ documentation. Added fontinst.cls.
+
+[16 Sep 1995, v1.500 on CTAN with fonts/psfonts/tools]
+
+21 Sep 1995, v1.501: Corrected some typos in the documentation.
+ Added kerns for ng, Ng and hyphenchar. Fixed spacing in faked
+ <FFsmall> and friends. Fixed kerning of <dotlessJ>. Raised the
+ <macron> in <dbar> to half-way between the xheight and the height of
+ <d>. Added fake <ng> -> <eng>. Made \cscbotaccent and
+ \csctopaccent look to see if both of the glyphs exist rather than just
+ the first. Thanks to Hilmar Schlegel for all these points.
+
+29 Sep 1995, v1.502: Renamed all the distributed afm files from
+ *0*.afm to *8a*.afm. Updated the file header on 8r.etx.
+ Renamed Karl's fontinst.rc to karl-fontinst.rc, to avoid it being
+ picked up by every punter.
+ All pointed out by Sebastian.
+
+24 Nov 1995, v1.503: Included Alan Hoenig's vfinst in contrib/vfinst.
+
+23 Jan 1996, v1.504: Included some of Sebastian's changes to OT1.etx:
+ upped stretch and shrink to .6 and .24 of space; reduced extra
+ space after . to .24 of space; removed <endash> + <hyphen> =
+ <emdash> ligature from OT1 monowidth; made \setslot{grave}
+ etc. into \setslot{\lc{Grave}{grave}} etc; fixed a bug with T1c
+ `monoweight' -> `monowidth' (!); implemented Rob's changes to
+ small caps and small accented caps; included fake kerning for
+ Udieresis; added hackery from spqr.rc for faking small caps and
+ faking widths.
+
+[28 Jan 1996, v1.504 on CTAN with:fonts/psfonts/tools]
+
+24 Jan 1996, v1.505: Updated fontptcm.tex to use ptmr8a rather than ptmr0.
+
+25 Jan 1996, v1.506: Added extra braces to \latinfamily to stop
+ setting of \digits in one run from affecting it in subsequent
+ runs. Spotted by Richard Walker.
+
+23 Feb 1996, v1.507: Replaced vpltovf by vptovf. Spotted by Sebastian.
+
+17 Jun 1996, v1.508: Added an \ifdim check to stop lots of MOVERIGHT R 0.0
+ instructions being generated. Spotted by Sebastian.
+
+18 Jun 1996, v1.509: Allow real numbers in .afm files. Spotted by
+ Gintautas Grigelionis. Made spaces before ; optional, in order to
+ parse v2.0 afm files (spaces before ; were made compulsory in v3.0).

+ old-style digits.
+

+
+7 Aug 1996, v1.513: Moved unfakable glyphs eariler in latin.mtx so
+ that all-caps fonts will work.
