[latexrefman] [latexrefman-commits] [SCM] latexrefman updated: r590 - trunk

[Vincent Belaïche]

Hello Karl & Jim,

Sorry for the @dmn{}, in French we have it, after all this is a unit, 
isn't it :

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pourcentage#Notation

I will remove this @dmn{} as well as restoring the cmss/cmtt. cmr is 
still there, only cmss & cmtt were removed, maybe to encourage the 
switch to Latin Modern --- I don't know, I am not the one who removed them.

The percents were added by Jim in r361, see 
http://svn.gnu.org.ua/viewvc/latexrefman/trunk/latex2e.texi?r1=361&r2=360

Personnally, I don't think that it was a bad idea, because anyway the 
current text says that this is just informative, and not followed by all 
font.

The cmss & cmtt were removed by Jim in r362, see 
http://svn.gnu.org.ua/viewvc/latexrefman/trunk/latex2e.texi?r1=361&r2=362

I agree with you Karl that  for consistency cmss & cmtt should be restored.

   Vincent.
