Introduction

 The CM-Super package contains Type 1 fonts converted by Vladimir Volovich (vvv@vsu.ru) from METAFONT fonts and covers entire EC/TC, ECC and LH fonts. All European and Cyrillic writings are covered. Each Type 1 font program contains ALL glyphs from the following standard LaTeX font encodings: T1, TS1, T2A, T2B, T2C, X2, and also Adobe StandardEncoding (585 glyphs per non-SC font and 468 glyphs per SC font), and could be reencoded to any of these encodings using a reencoding facilities.

The CM-Super package could be freely downloaded from CTAN:fonts/ps-type1/cm-super

CM-Super fonts may be used with BaKoMa TeX 4.10 and later.
To install the fonts in BaKoMa TeX at least 110 MB free space is required on hard disk.

NOTE:
BaKoMa TeX distribution includes EC/TC and LH (in T2A) whose are optimized for appearance of generated PDF files on display.

Installation

To install the CM-Super font package in BaKoMa TeX:
  • Copy all PFB files to `...\texmf\fonts\type1\public\cm-super' directory.
  • Copy all AFM files to `...\texmf\fonts\afm\public\cm-super' directory,
    and unpack them: `for %f in (*.gz) do gzip -d *.afm.gz'.
  • Launch CM-Super.BKZ unit to install another files and configure BaKoMa TeX.

Customization

 If you wish to use the original CM germandbls (sharp s) shape, rather than the new EC one, change "germandbls" to "germandbls.alt" in `cm-super-t1.enc', which is in `...\texmf\encoding\cmsuper' directory.

[TeXFonts]
ec*=T1Encoding,BKM-ec*,
tc*=,BKM-tc*,
la*=,BKM-la*,
To switch from BaKoMa fonts to CM-Super fonts edit `...\texmf\psfonts.ini' file to set following values: 
[TeXFonts]
ec*=SFT1Encoding,SF*,
tc*=SFTS1Encoding,SF*,
la*=SFT2AEncoding,SF*,
