These are the Computer Modern fonts extended with Russian letters, in
MetaFont sources and ATM Compatible Type 1 format. The fonts are
provided in KOI-7, but virtual fonts are available to recode them to
three other Russian 8-bit encodings.
The LH fonts address the problem of the wide variety of alphabets that
are written with Cyrillic-style characters. The fonts are the
original basis of the set of T2* and X2 encodings that are now used
when LaTeX users need to write in Cyrillic languages. Macro support
in standard LaTeX encodings is offered through the cyrillic and t2
bundles, and the package itself offers support for other (more
traditional) encodings. The fonts, in the standard T2* and X2
encodings are available in Adobe Type 1 format, in the CM-Super family
of fonts. The package also offers its own LaTeX support for OT2
encoded fonts, CM bright shaped fonts and Concrete shaped fonts.
The EC fonts are European Computer Modern Fonts, supporting the
complete LaTeX T1 encoding defined at the 1990 TUG conference hold at
Cork/Ireland. These fonts are intended to be stable with no changes
being made to the tfm files. The set also contains a Text Companion
Symbol font, called tc, featuring many useful characters needed in
text 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. Recent releases of LaTeX2e support the EC fonts. The EC
fonts supersede the preliminary version released as the DC fonts. The
fonts are available in (traced) Adobe Type 1 format, as part of the
cm-super bundle. The other Computer Modern-style T1-encoded Type 1
set, Latin Modern, is not actually a direct development of the EC set,
and differs from the EC in a number of particulars.
The Takao Fonts are a font family based on the IPA Fonts and the IPAex
Fonts. Its purpose is to make it possible to maintain and release the
fonts by the community with changing their names.
These fonts contain some modifications based on ORCA Font.
