+
+1) Renaming of all glyphs
+
+ All glyph identifiers used in ligtables etc. are now
+ renamed according to the LH conventions.

+v 0.3, 1998/12/15
+
+1) New Glyph: Currency Sign
+
+ The Mongolian togrog (aka tugrik) was added. The symbol is a
+ double-barred sans serif T or t but I decided to include
+ serif versions as well, and in lower case and upper case,
+ for those who love choice.

+v 0.2, 1998/06/01
+
+1) Font Names
+
+ The whole font set was renamed according to the CM
+ tradition (for easier diagnostics of missing and/or
+ unmatching fonts between Latin and Cyrillic).
+
+ Read KM (substituting CM in the font names) as
+ "Komp`yuter Modern" (Mongolian for Computer Modern)
+ or
+ "Kirill Mongol" (Mongolian Cyrillic)
+
+
+2) Font Shapes
+
+ More fonts from the Computer Modern Family were added:
+ Dunhill, Variable Width Typewriter Text (also Italic);
+ Funny (both Upright and Italic).
+
+
+3) Path Errors
+
+ Some font source behave strangely in combination with
+ certain parameter files; in particular, it was necessary
+ to tune de, De and ze in the Cyrillic sources.

+
+Changes involved for creating mcyr (Mongolian Cyrillic)
+on the basis of cmcyralt
+
+1) Font Encoding
+
+ The encoding definition file was rewritten in order
+ to accommodate for LMC (Local Mongolian Cyrillic)
+ encoding. This is basically a transliteration mirror
+ of T1 (Cork) encoding, with Mongolian front vowels in
+ the appropriate T1 umlaut slots.
+
+2) Internal Character Names
+
+ CYR_HA ("X") and CYR_ha ("x") were changed to CYR_XA
+ and CYR_xa throughout all occurences of all files in
+ order to accommodate for the Buryad letter which looks
+ (and is pronounced very much) like a "h".
+
+3) Glyph Shapes
+
+ The front vowel CYR_OE/CYR_oe was taken from J. Knappen's
+ Bashkirian sources; so were CYR_UE and CYR_HA/CYR_ha.
+
+ CYR_HA had a strange path error when used in italics mode;
+ one angle of a penpos was changed from 90 to 95 degrees
+ which resolved the problem without distorting the result
+ visibly.
+
+ CYR_ue was given as a gamma by J. Knappen which is not
+ acceptable; CYR_ue is a letter with a high frequeny so
+ reading the gamma would be quite irritating. Besides,
+ a proper gamma is used in transliterations. A new CYR_ue
+ was thus designed.
+
+4) Conventional Glyphs
+
+ More glyphs (digits, punctuation, etc.) of the original
+ cmr sources were included in order to decrease the amount
+ of font switching in mixed-language documents.
+
+5) Ligatures
+
+ A set of constantly active ligatures was introduced which
+ takes care of some of the Cyrillic umlauts as well as
+ "sh", "yo", "ya" etc.
+
+6) Font Names
+
+ Everything was renamed properly so as to avoid collisions
+ with existing cmcyralt installations. A notice to that
+ effect was prepended to every file.
+
+7) Internal Clean-ups
+
+ The parameter files are paragons of a Write-Only coding
+ style; just for the modifier's own convenience, some
+ tabbing was inserted here and there, without any functional
+ effect, of course.
+
+ Some of the commands which are leftovers of the original
+ cmr sources (from where everything is derived) and which
+ do not make any sense in this encoding were simply deleted
+ for sake of a better readability of the file.
