The EC-fonts contain slanted small caps fonts but using them required the loading of an external package. Suitable font definitions have now been added to \pkg{t1cmd.fd} and so from now on \begin{verbatim} \textsc{\textsl{slanted small}} \textsc{\textit{italic small caps}} \bfseries \textsc{\textsl{bold slanted small caps}} \textsc{\textit{bold italic small caps}} \end{verbatim} will give the expected result: {\fontfamily{cmr} \textsc{\textsl{slanted small}} \textsc{\textit{italic small caps}} \bfseries \textsc{\textsl{bold slanted small caps}} \textsc{\textit{bold italic small caps}}} % \githubissue{782} \subsection{EC sans serif at small sizes} The EC (T1 encoded Computer Modern) sans serif fonts have errors at small sizes. (The medium weight is bolder and wider than the bold extended) The default \texttt{.fd} file has been adjusted to use a scaled 8pt font. % \githubissue{879} \section{Bug fixes} \section{Changes to packages in the \pkg{amsmath} category} \section{Changes to packages in the \pkg{graphics} category} \section{Changes to packages in the \pkg{tools} category} \medskip \begin{thebibliography}{9} \fontsize{9.3}{11.3}\selectfont %\bibitem{36:blueprint} Frank Mittelbach and Chris Rowley: % \emph{\LaTeX{} Tagged PDF \Dash A blueprint for a large project}.\\ % \url{https://latex-project.org/publications/indexbyyear/2020/} %\bibitem{36:source2e} % \emph{\LaTeX{} documentation on the \LaTeX{} Project Website}.\\ % \url{https://latex-project.org/help/documentation/} %\bibitem{36:ltnews31} \LaTeX{} Project Team: % \emph{\LaTeXe{} news 31}.\\ % \url{https://latex-project.org/news/latex2e-news/ltnews31.pdf} %\bibitem{36:ltnews32} \LaTeX{} Project Team: % \emph{\LaTeXe{} news 32}.\\ % \url{https://latex-project.org/news/latex2e-news/ltnews32.pdf} %\bibitem{36:ltnews33} \LaTeX{} Project Team: % \emph{\LaTeXe{} news 33}.\\ % \url{https://latex-project.org/news/latex2e-news/ltnews33.pdf} %\bibitem{36:ltnews34} \LaTeX{} Project Team: % \emph{\LaTeXe{} news 34}.\\ % \url{https://latex-project.org/news/latex2e-news/ltnews34.pdf} % %\bibitem{36:ltfilehook-doc} Frank Mittelbach, Phelype Oleinik, \LaTeX{}~Project~Team: % \emph{The \texttt{\upshape ltfilehook} documentation}.\\ % Run \texttt{texdoc} \texttt{ltfilehook-doc} to view. \end{thebibliography} \end{document}
