This work consists of the files listed in drmfilelist.txt.

The drm package provides access to the DRM (Don's Revised
Modern) family of fonts, which includes a variety of optical
sizes in Roman (in four weights), italic, and small caps,
among other shapes, along with a set of symbols and
ornaments.  It is intended to be a full-body text font, but
its larger sizes can also be used for simple display
purposes, and its significant body of symbols can stand on
its own.  It comes complete with textual (``old-style'') and
lining figures, and even has small-caps figures.  It also
comes with extensible decorative rules to be used with
ornaments from itself or other fonts, along with an
extremely flexible ellipsis package.  A set of decorative
initials is planned.

This package should run properly on any properly running LaTeX
system.  It's been tested specifically with TeXLive on Linux (3.2.0
kernel).

This is version 1.0 of drm, submitted to CTAN on 1 Sept
2014.

Version 1.1 of drm, submitted to CTAN on Friday, 4 Sept
2014, was a bugfix release.  Primarily, it corrected very
minor errors in the roman W and V, and some slightly larger
unsightliness in the roman OE ligature and in the roman r,
which got seriously distorted in bold and at larger sizes.
Also put the old-style numerals into the italic fonts, where
for some reason it was forgotten except for size 10.
Finally, there were some potential namespace issues with the
more generically named files (e.g., oe.mf), kindly pointed
out to me by Karl Berry, which should now be resolved.
