I've updated some of font-related TeX distributions.
The font naming scheme (to version 1.5),
the Adobe Utopia and Bitstream Charter fonts (version 1.0),
modes.mf (version 0.13),
and a new distribution, the fonts URW donated to Ghostscript.
ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/{fontname,utopia,urwfonts.tar.z,modes.mf}
Please notice the `.z' instead `.Z' -- I am now using gzip instead of
compress.
Adobe/Charter changes: match the latest dvips[k].
Fontname changes:
The changes since version 1.4 are minimal: a couple of additional
typefaces, variants, and sources.
I also made two incompatible changes: 1) source `u' is now for URW instead
of `user'. The latter seemed of dubious utility, and URW has
contributed four fonts to the world (ftp.cs.umb.edu:pub/tex/urwfonts.tar.z).
2) Plantin is now pn instead of pi. Apparently most people were using
pn anyway, and since it was free ...
modes.mf changes:
New modes for the Canon EX, QMS 1700, LPS 20, and Xerox Docutech
devices, and a `null' mode to make only a TFM file.
As always, thanks to the contributors.
Let me know if you have questions or suggestions.
