Cursor has been greatly extended, and contains more than 1000 glyphs, and there are no small caps). The font is available both in Adobe Type 1 and in OpenType formats, and LaTeX support (for use with a variety of encodings) is provided. Vietnamese and Cyrillic characters were added by Han The Thanh and Valek Filippov, respectively.
