37*7dd7cddfSDavid du ColombierHistory
38*7dd7cddfSDavid du Colombier
39*7dd7cddfSDavid du ColombierThe PostScript versions of the Computer Modern fonts were produced in 1988
40*7dd7cddfSDavid du Colombierby Blue Sky Research of Portland, Oregon, and Y&Y, Inc., of Concord,
41*7dd7cddfSDavid du ColombierMassachusetts, who published the fonts in conjunction with their commercial
42*7dd7cddfSDavid du Colombierimplementations of the TeX program.
43*7dd7cddfSDavid du Colombier
44*7dd7cddfSDavid du ColombierCharacter outlines were derived from high-resolution METAFONT-generated
45*7dd7cddfSDavid du Colombiercharacter bitmaps by the ScanLab application from Projective Solutions (Ian
46*7dd7cddfSDavid du ColombierMorrison and Henry Pinkham), applied and corrected by Douglas Henderson of
47*7dd7cddfSDavid du ColombierBlue Sky Research. Character hints were created by software from Y&Y
48*7dd7cddfSDavid du Colombier(Berthold and Blenda Horn), with extensive hand work by Blenda Horn. Font
49*7dd7cddfSDavid du Colombierengineering, production, and packaging were by Douglas Henderson and
50*7dd7cddfSDavid du ColombierBerthold Horn.  The CMMI* fonts were revised in 1996 to conform to Knuth's
51*7dd7cddfSDavid du Colombierchanges to the greek delta and arrow characters.
