Hi.
I want to use Computer Modern Unicode fonts in my document. I made a
link from $TEXLIVE2010/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/cm-unicode to
$CONTEXT_MINIMAL/tex/texmf-fonts/opentype/public but couldn't get CM-U
font in the document. What should I do to use them?
you have to make typescript for them as they are not supported out
of the box; we use lm fonts (which are unicode)
LM have no Cyrillic, but CM-U have, and I think that is why he wants to
use them, and IMHO it deserves including a typescript for it and may be
including the fonts in minimals too since there seem not to be any
Cyrillic CM fonts there.
If these are the huge traced cm supers I'd rather not have them in the
minimals but as extra as they consume a log of space.
If it's just cyrillic .. maybe it's more interesting to use fallbacks,
given that we have a cyrillic only variant available for that (there are
type ones as we have support for the t2* encodings in mkii).
Btw, one of the reasons why lm/gyre have no cyrillic (or had cyrilic
removed) is that in spit of all efforts to locate people, no one is
willing to check them and do some quality control. It has been discussed
before: if there is a group of volunteers the glyphs might show up again
in the fonts.
