I would also like to make a plea for the inclusion of the CM-Super font
set. It contains (amongst others) Type 1 fonts for the EC and TC fonts,
which are highle needed in MacOSX where PDF is the preferred output format. 
At least in most european languages. It also contains Type 1 fonts for
Cyrillic. 

If it is not decided to put this in the main TeXlive distribution it could
go in the macosx tree.

I am prepared to try this out first on my own computer.
