<p>These numbers do seem to be some kind of convention; I see them in articles about the CSS 3 font-stretch property.</p>

<div class="PlainText">Hello Karl & Jim,<br>
<br>
Sorry for the @dmn{}, in French we have it, after all this is a unit, <br>
isn't it :<br>
<br>
<a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pourcentage#Notation">https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pourcentage#Notation</a><br>
<br>
I will remove this @dmn{} as well as restoring the cmss/cmtt. cmr is <br>
still there, only cmss & cmtt were removed, maybe to encourage the <br>
switch to Latin Modern --- I don't know, I am not the one who removed them.<br>
<br>
The percents were added by Jim in r361, see <br>
<a href="http://svn.gnu.org.ua/viewvc/latexrefman/trunk/latex2e.texi?r1=361&r2=360">http://svn.gnu.org.ua/viewvc/latexrefman/trunk/latex2e.texi?r1=361&r2=360</a><br>
<br>
Personnally, I don't think that it was a bad idea, because anyway the <br>
current text says that this is just informative, and not followed by all <br>
font.<br>
<br>
The cmss & cmtt were removed by Jim in r362, see <br>
<a href="http://svn.gnu.org.ua/viewvc/latexrefman/trunk/latex2e.texi?r1=361&r2=362">http://svn.gnu.org.ua/viewvc/latexrefman/trunk/latex2e.texi?r1=361&r2=362</a><br>
<br>
I agree with you Karl that for consistency cmss & cmtt should be restored.<br>
<br>
Vincent.<br>

Jim added them.<br>
