This has been accomplished through the cooperation +of a consortium of scientific publishers with Blue Sky Research and Y&Y. +Members of this consortium include: + + Elsevier Science + IBM Corporation + Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) + Springer-Verlag + American Mathematical Society (AMS) + +In order to assure the authenticity of these fonts, copyright will be held +by the American Mathematical Society. This is not meant to restrict in any +way the legitimate use of the fonts, such as (but not limited to) electronic +distribution of documents containing these fonts, inclusion of these fonts +into other public domain or commercial font collections or computer +applications, use of the outline data to create derivative fonts and/or +faces, etc. However, the AMS does require that the AMS copyright notice be +removed from any derivative versions of the fonts which have been altered in +any way. In addition, to ensure the fidelity of TeX documents using Computer +Modern fonts, Professor Donald Knuth, creator of the Computer Modern faces, +has requested that any alterations which yield different font metrics be +given a different name. + +The AMS does not provide technical support or installation assistance +beyond any installation instructions included in this file. Installation +and use of these fonts may require some technical expertise. Review this +READ.ME file in its entirety before undertaking an installation. + +---------------------------------------------------------------------------- +History + +The PostScript versions of the Computer Modern fonts were produced in 1988 +by Blue Sky Research of Portland, Oregon, and Y&Y, Inc., of Concord, +Massachusetts, who published the fonts in conjunction with their commercial +implementations of the TeX program. + +Character outlines were derived from high-resolution METAFONT-generated +character bitmaps by the ScanLab application from Projective Solutions (Ian +Morrison and Henry Pinkham), applied and corrected by Douglas Henderson of +Blue Sky Research. Character hints were created by software from Y&Y +(Berthold and Blenda Horn), with extensive hand work by Blenda Horn. Font +engineering, production, and packaging were by Douglas Henderson and +Berthold Horn. The CMMI* fonts were revised in 1996 to conform to Knuth's +changes to the greek delta and arrow characters. + +---------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Font Distributions + +The canonical version of the Computer Modern PostScript Fonts is located on +the AMS FTP server, ftp.ams.org, at /pub/tex/psfonts/cm. These fonts are +also available on the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN) in +fonts/cm/ps-type1/bluesky. + +The following three files are in this directory for you to download: + +cmps-textures.hqx for use with Textures, contains fonts in standard + Macintosh Type 1 format +cmps-oztex.hqx for use with OzTeX, contains fonts in standard + Macintosh Type 1 format +cmps-pc.zip for use on a Windows or DOS system, contains fonts + in PFB format with PFM metrics files +cmps-unix.tar.gz for use on a Unix system, contains fonts in + PFB format with AFM metrics files + + +Each distribution includes a READ.ME file which contains instructions +for installing the fonts. Please review the READ.ME file in its entirety +before undertaking to install the fonts on your system. + |
