Computer Modern PostScript fonts released to the public domain


PORTLAND, OREGON --- We of Blue Sky Research are delighted to
announce the release, into the public domain, of a complete set of
the typefaces of Computer Modern in the form of 75 PostScript text
and symbol fonts.  Computer Modern includes a broad variety of
roman, italic, and sans-serif text faces, as well as an extensive
collection of mathematical and scientific symbols. Computer Modern
is widely used in scientific and technical publishing, as it is the
customary font family of the TeX programmable typesetting system.

The Computer Modern faces were designed by Professor Donald Knuth
of Stanford University, "based to a considerable extent on the
letterforms of Monotype Modern 8A," for the publication of his
seven volume series _The Art of Computer Programming_. The faces
were originally expressed as computer programs in Knuth's METAFONT
type design system; a complete description can be found in
_Computer Modern Typefaces_, volume 5 of Knuth's _Computers and
Typesetting_ series, published by Addison-Wesley in 1986.  The
PostScript form of the fonts was produced in 1988 by Blue Sky
Research, of Portland Oregon, and Y&Y, Inc., of Concord
Massachusetts, who have published the fonts in conjunction with
their commercial implementations of Knuth's TeX program.
