The initials stood for 'Almost [Computer] Modern', +and they were the predecessors of the Computer Modern fonts that we +all know and love (or hate) +. +There's not a lot one can do with these +fonts; they are (as their name implies) almost (but not quite) the +same as the <i>cm</i> series; if you're faced with a document that requests +them, all you can reasonably do is to edit the document. The +appearance of DVI files that request them is sufficiently rare that +no-one has undertaken the mammoth task of creating a translation of +them by means of virtual fonts; however, most drivers let you have a +configuration file in which you can specify font substitutions. If you +specify that every <i>am</i> font should be replaced by its corresponding +<i>cm</i> font, the output should be almost correct. +<p> +<p><p><p><p><p><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=amfonts">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=amfonts</a> +</body> |
