In loving memory of my parents, Tat'yana Sergeevna
Lapteva and Valentin Mefod'yevich Panov
The Cyrillic Modern fonts are based on the Computer Modern fonts
designed in METAFONT by D. E. Knuth and released in the Type 1 format by
the American Mathematical Society under the SIL Open Font License (OFL).
The Cyrillic Modern fonts are intended to make the Cyrillic letters with
classical shapes typical to the modern fonts. Currently, the fonts add
support for the Russian language, the numero sign and quotation marks
required for the Russian typesetting.
Several Latin letters are changed making the Cyrillic Modern fonts closer
to modern-style fonts, in particular, to Monotype Modern. So, these fonts
break metric compatibility with the Computer Modern fonts. Currently, the
following characters are changed
in italic fonts "c", "e", "f", "k", "m", "r", "s", "u", "y", "ae",
"oe" and Latin ligatures
in roman fonts "m", Latin ligatures
in sanserif fonts "x".
For consistency, the modified mathematical italic fonts are provided.
In the case when the Computer Modern fonts lack some symbols (for
example, "less", "greater", "paragraph", etc.), these glyphs were copied
from the Latin Modern fonts of Boguslaw Jackowski and Janusz M. Nowacki.
