Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now with added documentation!

The package supports a number of features of the Latin
Modern fonts which are not easily accessible via the default
(La)TeX support provided in the official distribution. In
particular, the package supports the use of the various
styles of digits available, oblique small-caps and upright
italic shapes, and alternative weights and widths.  It also
supports the variable width typewriter, "dunhill" and
“quotation” fonts.  Version 2.004 of the Latin Modern fonts
is supported.

By default, the package uses proportional oldstyle digits
and variable width typewriter but this can be changed by
passing appropriate options to the package. The package also
supports using e.g. different styles of digits within a
document so it is possible to use proportional oldstyle
digits by default, say, but tabular lining digits within a
particular table. See the documenation for details.

The package requires the official Latin Modern distribution,
including its (La)TeX support. The package relies on the
availability of both the fonts themselves and the official
font support files.  The package also makes use of the
nfssext-cfr  package.

Only the T1 and TS1 encodings are supported for text fonts.
The set up of fonts for mathematics is identical to that
provided by Latin Modern.
