v 0.5, 2001/10/10
1) Renaming of all glyphs
All glyph identifiers used in ligtables etc. are now
renamed according to the LH conventions.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

v 0.3, 1998/12/15
1) New Glyph: Currency Sign
The Mongolian togrog (aka tugrik) was added. The symbol is a
double-barred sans serif T or t but I decided to include
serif versions as well, and in lower case and upper case,
for those who love choice.

v 0.2, 1998/06/01
1) Font Names
The whole font set was renamed according to the CM
tradition (for easier diagnostics of missing and/or
unmatching fonts between Latin and Cyrillic).
Read KM (substituting CM in the font names) as
"Komp`yuter Modern" (Mongolian for Computer Modern)
or
"Kirill Mongol" (Mongolian Cyrillic)
2) Font Shapes
More fonts from the Computer Modern Family were added:
Dunhill, Variable Width Typewriter Text (also Italic);
Funny (both Upright and Italic).
3) Path Errors
Some font source behave strangely in combination with
certain parameter files; in particular, it was necessary
to tune de, De and ze in the Cyrillic sources.

v 0.1, 1997/10/01
Changes involved for creating mcyr (Mongolian Cyrillic)
on the basis of cmcyralt
1) Font Encoding
The encoding definition file was rewritten in order
to accommodate for LMC (Local Mongolian Cyrillic)
encoding. This is basically a transliteration mirror
of T1 (Cork) encoding, with Mongolian front vowels in
the appropriate T1 umlaut slots.
2) Internal Character Names
CYR_HA ("X") and CYR_ha ("x") were changed to CYR_XA
and CYR_xa throughout all occurences of all files in
order to accommodate for the Buryad letter which looks
(and is pronounced very much) like a "h".
3) Glyph Shapes
The front vowel CYR_OE/CYR_oe was taken from J. Knappen's
Bashkirian sources; so were CYR_UE and CYR_HA/CYR_ha.
CYR_HA had a strange path error when used in italics mode;
one angle of a penpos was changed from 90 to 95 degrees
which resolved the problem without distorting the result
visibly.
CYR_ue was given as a gamma by J. Knappen which is not
acceptable; CYR_ue is a letter with a high frequeny so
reading the gamma would be quite irritating. Besides,
a proper gamma is used in transliterations. A new CYR_ue
was thus designed.
4) Conventional Glyphs
More glyphs (digits, punctuation, etc.) of the original
cmr sources were included in order to decrease the amount
of font switching in mixed-language documents.
5) Ligatures
A set of constantly active ligatures was introduced which
takes care of some of the Cyrillic umlauts as well as
"sh", "yo", "ya" etc.
6) Font Names
Everything was renamed properly so as to avoid collisions
with existing cmcyralt installations. A notice to that
effect was prepended to every file.
7) Internal Clean-ups
The parameter files are paragons of a Write-Only coding
style; just for the modifier's own convenience, some
tabbing was inserted here and there, without any functional
effect, of course.
Some of the commands which are leftovers of the original
cmr sources (from where everything is derived) and which
do not make any sense in this encoding were simply deleted
for sake of a better readability of the file.
