That's good news indeed! Does anybody know about the relative merits of
the two implementations available on CTAN:
tex-archive/fonts/ps-type1/cm-super
tex-archive/fonts/ps-type1/ec
(The README file of the second implementation says it was done with
TeXtrace by the author of TeXtrace, the README file of the first
implementation mentions use of TeXtrace and additional hinting with
FontLab.)
By the way, I just noticed on CTAN that errors in the BSR/Y&Y PostScript
versions of some CM fonts have recently been corrected. From the README
file: "An error in the PostScript code for the lasy*, line* and lcircle*
fonts was corrected in June 2001". On CTAN the updated fonts reside in:
tex-archive/fonts/cm/ps-type1/bluesky/pfb
In teTeX the original fonts reside in:
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm
Cheers,
