ver 2.9 (February-11 September1997) --
--------------------------------------
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 2.5 (July 1996-February 1997) --
------------------------------------
The intermediate version only

there were made general modification from this version to next ones ...


ver 2.32 (Oktober 1995-July 1996) --
------------------------------------
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 2.3 (September 1995-Oktober 1995) --
----------------------------------------
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 2.2 (March-September 1995) --

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.).

letters,  lgcrspl.mf  --  for  lowercase  ones).   The  analogous way for
