The Sauter parameter package for computer modern fonts, Version 2.1

            Ten point type is different from magnified five-point type.

John Sauter has prepared a bunch of ``alternate parameter files'' that 
make it possible to generate the Computer Modern fonts at any point size. 
I have looked at some of them and think they are pretty good (better than 
the magnified versions).

  For the design_sizes D. E. Knuth provided and described in Computers 
and Typesetting, Volume E (Computer Modern Typefaces) and for the 
additional Computer Modern math fonts supported by the AMS, the Sauter 
parameter files give exactly the same font metrics as the original
parameter files. 

  You can use the Sauter tools to interpolate between the given font sizes,
e.g. to create a cmr9p5 font at 9.5pt, or to extrapolate above and below
the original sizes (and generate e.g. cmr4 or cmr25). For the nominal sizes
11, 14, 17, 20, 25, 30 and 36 we follow the ``magstep'' philosophy, i.e.
the true size is given by 10pt times an appropriate power of 1.2. If you 
prefer to create a font at 14 true pt, please name it cmr14p0 to keep the
distinction. There are command files for several operating systems included
which keep care of this.

  No attempt is made to match the variant Computer Modern parameter files
distributed with the text1 macro package, nor any other variant parameter 
sets.

  In the directory mf you find the Sauter parameter files. A typical call
of them may look like

$ mf "\mode=localfont; design_size:=9.5; input b-cmr"

to generate the above mentioned cmr9p5 font. Note, that you have to rename
the generated files, the system dependent command files take care of this, 
too.

  In the directory latex you find support for the several latex versions
around;
  lfonts.true is for LaTeX 2.09 with the Old Font Selection Scheme
  fontdef.sau is for LaTeX 2.09 with the New Font Selection Scheme (NFSS-1)
  fontdef.cfg, sautercm.fd and sauterdc.fd are for LaTeX2e.
You need to rebuild your LaTeX format in order to use the true size fonts.

  The directories msdos, unix and vms contain support files for the 
respective operating systems, those are provided ,,as is''. In case of 
questions about them, contact the respective authors.

  The Sauter package is currently maintained by J\"org Knappen,
knappen@vkpmzd.kph.uni-mainz.de; send comments, bugs and questions to that 
address. However, the package comes with absolutely NO WARRANTY, not even 
the fitness for a given purpose (see the GNU licence for the juristic limbo
to be inserted here).
