==============================================================================
LHFONTS version 3.4 file LHFONTS.HST
The short history of LHFONTS (MAKEFONT) package
==============================================================================
During of font package creation were used:
------------------------------------------
Cyrillic glyph' sources:
the Computer Modern Roman family of fonts
by D. E. Knuth
Washington Cyrillic Computer Modern or WNCYR
(Humanities and Arts Computing Center, University of Washington);
Omega Cyrillic fonts
by Yannis Haralambous;
Some glyphs from Phonetic fonts.
`Package service' sources:
file fik_mik.mf from Polish fonts;
the European Modern Roman family of fonts
by J"org Knappen and Norbert Schwarz
ver 1.0 (approx 1992--1993) --
------------------------------
unrecognized, was used in Mir Publisher only --
Creation of symbolic letter names for creation of font with three
different coding schemes Alternative, Virtual (7-bit) and Washington
(ISO/ASCII: same as WNCYR encoding);
Correction of letter shapes, creation of special files of parameters
(Additional Lower Ratios) for each font group.
Creation of some batch-files for font generating.
ver 1.1 (1993) --
-----------------
unrecognized (there was file rusfont.zip) --
Virtual encoding as default coding scheme for creating Cyrillic part of
Latin-Cyrillic font (with usage of the virtual files) was changed to
Alternative encoding (Virtual encoding is kept as supply variant only);
Creation of 32 Computer Modern text fonts.
ver 1.2 (1993--1994) --
-----------------------
the part of CyrTUG-EmTeX package; placed on CD-ROM 4AllTeX --
All uppercase and lowercase letters are created by separate files:
lgcru.mf and lgcrl.mf (instead of three files: lgcrlu.mf -- file with
common letter shapes for both cases, lgcrspu.mf -- for uppercase
letters, lgcrspl.mf -- for lowercase ones). The analogous way for
lgserb*.mf files.
Creation of all 56 Computer Modern text fonts.
Font generating with usage of MFJob (EmTeX). There were created special
mfj-files.
ver 2.0 (Sept1994) --
---------------------
placed on CTAN --
Correction of mistakes of letter shapes. All driver files were checked
with drivers of Computer Modern;
ALL additional cyrillic letters in files of ligs&kerns were rewritten to
their symbolic names; file wnligs.mf was renamed to lwnligs.mf;
Files with additional Cyrillic letters lgserb*.mf were rearranged: three
letters below endinput were placed on separate files lgserb(u/l)1.mf.
There was created new package FIL for creating of other Cyrillic letters.
Rearranging directory structures.
ver 2.1 (Oct1994) --
--------------------
Correction of mistakes: serif widths, letter widths.
This file (lhfonts.hst) was added.
ver 2.2 (Mar-Sept1995) --
-------------------------
Protvino & Holland TeX Conferences --
Correction of mistakes: serif widths, letter widths. Fine tuning of
letter shapes and stem_thicknesses.
The new fonts are added:
The 6 SliTeX (created new driver file ldrsfont.mf for SliTeX "I"), and 2
AmSTeX text CM fonts added (csc) -- total count: 64 fonts.
Rearranging of font generation: default (Alternative) version creates
old font assortment plus Ukrainian and Byelorussian as in MS DOS code
page 866, option `fullrus' creates old Russian letters additionally,
option `fil' creates full assortment of created Cyrillic fonts.
ATTENTION: the number sign and cyrillic quotes have now other codes:
accordingly to PC866 code page.
Files lgcr(u/l/ti), lgserb(u/l/ti) and lbcoding became files drivers.
They run different parts of Cyrillic Alphabet.
MS Windows encoding is added.
The Sauter fonts were created for LH family by S.Znamenskii and
connected to it.
There are added hints with width correction of letters with mid stems
(analogous of `i' and `j' width correction in CM) as used in Cyrillic
fonts of A.Shen'.
The experiment is begun with Omega package. Now full Cyrillic font is
being created.
Option `fullrus' was joined with default font creation so one can get
Russian, Ukrainian, Byelorussian and some old Russian (XIXcent) letters
in one font accordingly to Vinogradov's fonts.
All coding schemes are made for unification with hexadecimal codes.
The names of Cyrillic letters (WNCYR letters) were changed with
accordance with standard names in coding schemes (ISO etc.).
ver 2.3 (Sept1995-Okt1995) --
-----------------------------
NOT `published' --
DC, Sauter, etc. fontcovers are joined in files-headers. The Polish
file fik-mik.mf is used (it uses cm* font-headers and then changes
standard drivers to Cyrillic ones); it was changed and renamed to
fik-mik_.mf.
ver 2.32 (Okt1995-Jul1996) --
-----------------------------
For the Dubna TUG'96 Conference --
The macros of fik-mik_.mf were enlarged for usage of Sauter fonts.
Created special fik-mik-.mf for DC-like fonts.
The file dcstdedt.tex (DC fonts package) was used for quick font headers
creation. It was changed and renamed to cfstdedt.tex.
Letters are generated accordingly to necessary encoding and assortment
TeX helps to create encoding and ligature/kerning tables. Also it
creates uccode/lccode/mathcode file and file with list of all Cyrillic
macros-letters.
ver 2.5 (July1996-February1997) --
---------------------------------
The intermediate version only
there were made general modification from this version to next ones ...
ver 2.9 (February-11September1997) --
-------------------------------------
For the St-Peterburg CyrTUG Conference --
Support of T2 encoding (beta-version): gathering of all necessary matherial
(letters and signs).
Ligs & kerns macros of A.Berdnikov are used
ver 3.0 (12September-8October1997) --
----------------------------------------
Continues previous version with some file reorganisation;
T2 encodinng (beta) adopted in CyrTUG conference;
the Polish ogonek is placed in main letter definitions as variant of descender
with flag `is_ogonek'(variants of letters which use ammoc and ammoc its own
were moved out);
- instead of Polish macro put_ogonek there is used simplified easy_ogonek
-- I had difficulties of putting Polish ogonek to Abkhasian che.
The documentation beresta absent in this version for a while
