Summary : Computer Modern Type 3 fonts converted using MetaPost
URL : http://tug.org/texlive/
License : Knuth-CTAN AND LPPL-1.3c AND OFL-1.1 AND LicenseRef-Fedora-Public-Domain
Description : 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. Note:
: do NOT add the map file to updmap!
