Summary description: Computer Modern Type 3 fonts converted using
MetaPost

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------


The Computer Modern fonts are available in Type 1 format, but these
renditions are somewhat thin and spindly, and produce much lighter
results than the originals. It is alternatively possible to use
METAFONT bitmaps, but this has its disadvantages in comparison with
vector fonts.

These fonts are conversions to Type 3 fonts, done entirely in METAPOST;
they are vector fonts which are a direct conversion from the original
METAFONT files, so they are the design most authentic to the originals.

However, these fonts, because they are PostScript Type 3 fonts, are not
suitable for on-screen reading, and should probably only be used for
printing.
