The Debian Package cm-super
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
How to use the cm-super fonts on a Debian system
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To get the Type1 cm-super fonts embedded into your TeX documents, install
the cm-super package, and use any of:

0. For latex, load the type1ec package and then select T1 fontenc:
	\usepackage{type1ec}
	\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
   For tex, load the fonts with \font, see below

   BIG WARNING BIG WARNING BIG WARNING
   If you DON'T have cm-super (the full package) installed you have to use
   	\usepackage[10pt]{type1ec}
   which uses only those cm-super fonts available in cm-super-minimal and
   scale those fonts for other design sizes.
   END WARNING END WARNING END WARNING

1. Run tex/latex as usual. Run dvips as usual.

2. Run pdftex/pdflatex as usual.

3. Run tex/latex as usual. Run dvipdfm(x) as usual.

Example LaTeX file using these fonts
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{type1ec}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\begin{document}
  Hello, World!\par
  This example is written by \textit{Szabó Péter}.

  \texttt{Árvízt\H{u}r\H{o} tükörfúrógép} contains
  all Hungarian accented wovels.
\end{document}

German Double-S (ß) variants (from INSTALL)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you wish to use the original CM germandbls (sharp s) shape,
rather than the new EC one, change "germandbls" to "germandbls.alt"
in cm-super-t1.enc (at the end, penultimate line).

Why is the Debian .deb file half as long as the original .tar.gz?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Because the .deb contains cm-super.t1c in place of the original *.pfb files.
cm-super.t1c is more compressible than the *.pfb files. See debian/postinst
about restoring the *.pfb files from cm-super.t1c during package
installation.
