+name type1cm
+category Package
+shortdesc No caption.
+longdesc LaTeX, by default, restricts the sizes at which you can use its
+longdesc default computer modern fonts, to a fixed set of discrete sizes
+longdesc (effectively, a set specified by Knuth). The type1cm package
+longdesc removes this restriction; this is particularly useful when using
+longdesc scalable versions of the cm fonts (Bakoma, or the versions from
+longdesc BSR/Y&Y, or True Type versions from Kinch, PCTeX, etc.). In
+longdesc fact, since modern distributions will automatically generate any
+longdesc bitmap font you might need, type1cm has wider application than
+longdesc just those using scaleable versions of the fonts. Note that the
+longdesc LaTeX distribution now contains a package fix-cm, which performs
+longdesc the task of type1cm, as well as doing the same job for T1- and
+longdesc TS1-encoded ec fonts. [description copied from TeX Catalogue]
