They should have an ISO 8859/1 (Latin 1) layout, and they should contain reasonable kerning data for character pairs where one or both characters are accented (but since TeX doesn't kern between such characters anyway, I can live without for the moment). [The advantage of having such virtual fonts is that it's easier to type non-english text and that you can have correct hyphenation for non-english languages (without resorting to incantations like `german.sty' does).] It would be even better to have a configurable program that generates such virtual fonts based on the TFM (or PL) file, font layout tables, and information about kerning and extra lowering/raising of accents (for fine tuning). If nobody else has already done this, I might undertake this project myself (but I don't want to repeat other peoples work). --- Frank Jensen, fj@iesd.auc.dk Department of Mathematics and Computer Science Aalborg University DENMARK
