    Summary description: Computer Modern fonts including matching non-latin alphabets

    Announcement text: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This is a major release of New Computer Modern which includes many new features, changes and improvements. In short these are

    Complete redesign of the Cyrillics to a new design that
    is "acceptable" in todays Russia. Bulgarian forms supported.
    (cmu and cyrillic-modern have been removed because of license
    issues).

    Armenian and Georgian added as major scripts in all fonts.

    GreekSans redesigned keeping the style but correcting color.

    Knuthian Calligraphic capitals have been restored
    as the default calligraphic capitals in Regular, Book and Bold
    Math fonts. They have been retraced from metafont sources
    and adjusted by hand glyph by glyph. Previous calligraphic
    letters (Euler type) have been saved in Stylistic Set 6.

    Character ypogegrammeni redesigned and
    psili/dasia+perispomeni recomposed for all fonts.

    LX fonts (very good for beamer work)
    added in NewCMSans10 and in NewCMSansMath in StylisticSet 8.
    They have been adjusted for color uniformity
    and stabilization.
    Thanks to Claudio Beccari for this.

    Latin letters in NewCM10-Regular and accented and built composites
    re-traced from public metafont sources and hand adjusted glyph by glyph
    so that with the redesign of Cyrillics and the agreement of C. Beccari
    this font, together with NewCM*Devanagari and NewCMUncial*
    are now released under GPL3+FontException+DistributionException
    (check License.txt and the documentation).

    Vietnamese double accent letters adjusted by properly repositioning
    accents. Thanks to Karl Berry for letting me know.

    Variation Selectors added to all supported math glyphs
    satisfying Unicode version 17.0

    Added custom fontspec files that adjust microexpansion
    of the fonts to match in detail the original CM fonts.
    Thanks to Alexey Kuznetsov for providing these files.

    Please consult the documentation of the package for details.
