interesting. I didnt know about Icking's untimely death, thats sad.
the trouble is, all packages are used by *someone*,
so its hard to sort out. I am torn between the contrasting claims of
* the CJK fonts. hard to deny a place for something with so many
potential users
* cm-super. if its what you want, you want it badly, and better
alternatives are not available yet
* the myriad national variant fonts provded by cstug and gust.
no doubt they have strong reasons for wanting them
really, is the decent small replacement for cm-super that
is needed.
