EC fonts [Jörg Knappen]

Jörg Knappen writes: there are now the stable ec fonts Version 1.0 available from the CTAN archives in directory tex-archive/fonts/jknappen/ec. The ec fonts support the complete LaTeX T1 encoding, as defined at the 1990 TUG conference hold at Cork/Ireland. They are intended to be as stable as the cm fonts are, i.e., there shall be no more changes to the tfm files. The ec fonts also contain a Text Companion Symbol font, called tc, featuring many usefull characters needed in typesetting, for example oldstyle digits, currency symbols (including the newly created Euro symbol), the permille sign, copyright, trade mark and servicemark as well as a copyleft sign, and many others. The upcoming release of LaTeX2e will support the ec fonts. The dc fonts, which were termed as preliminary versions, will dissappear from the archives soon. It is suggested, that you replace them entirely by the ec fonts. Let me thank to all the people who have contributed to the success of the ec font project. They are too numerous to mention all of them, but some of them should have a place here: Donald E. Knuth and Richard Southall for designing and coding the cm fonts, which are the base of the ec fonts; Barbara Beeton, Michael Ferguson, and Jan-Michael Rynning for pushing the project into existence; Norbert Schwarz for the first two releases of the dc fonts; Yannis Haralambous for numerous contributions to the METAFONT code; Boguslaw Jackowski and Marek Rycko for designing and programming the Polish letters; Andreas Schwab for finding and fixing some very bad bugs; Daniel Taupin and Denis Roegel for fine-tuning of the accented letters needed in french. The remaining errors and bugs in the distribution are all mine, no one of the persons credited above and the other unnamed contributors should be blamed for them.
