Ugh. For some reason,
ftp://ftp.loria.fr/pub/unix/tex/ctan/help/Catalogue/entries/lm.html
pretends to give you version 0.99.2 but the link
ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/ps-type1/lm.zip it presents you
points to version 0.98.3, which is why I didn't check the last version.

So, in 0.99.2, the stretch and shrink parameters are still correct *but*
tftopl says:

  Bad TFM file: Parenthesis in string has been changed to slash.

The parentheses in question are those in:

  EC Encoding (Cork)
  TS1 Encoding (text companion for EC)
  LY1 Encoding (TeX'n'ANSI, Y&Y)
  T5 Encoding (Vietnamese)

(these strings can be found by looking at the TFM files with less). I
suppose this should be fixed.

Thanks,
