Fonts Included in the t1lib-Package
Included in the t1lib-package are 8 fonts of two families which
are freely available.
- The CharterBT-fonts in Roman, Italic, Bold and BoldItalic
variants. These are good quality fonts containing kerning
information. Notable kerning pairs are ``T''-``e'', ``A''-``V''
and ``A''-``T''.
- The ComputerModern-fonts by Donald E. Knuth in the variants
Roman, Italic, BoldExtended and BoldExtendedItalic. In addition to
kerning information, there are many ligatures in these
fonts. Most people will know about the present ligatures from using
TEX, the typesetting system. Notable examples are:
--
``-'',
---
``--'',
fi
``fi'' and
ffi
``ffi''.
These fonts have the disadvantage that no ordinary space character
is included, only a visible space. TEX itself does not need a
dedicated space character.
Note that working with ligatures requires the ligatures to be
encoded at the positions they are expected. Thus, if you reencode one of the
dc-fonts with the IsoLatin1-encoding funny effects may occur.
