Summary description: Concrete text and mathematics as outlines, with a synthetic
bold weight

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

concrete-vec rCo Concrete text and mathematics as outlines, with a bold weight

concrete-vec typesets a document in Knuth's Concrete fonts with two properties the existing Concrete packages do not jointly provide: every glyph, in text and
in mathematics, is a vector outline rather than a bitmap; and a bold weight is available, synthesised by stroking, in both text and mathematics.

It is a thin configuration layer over ccfonts, mathastext and pdfrender, and targets pdflatex. Text is set in T1-encoded Concrete (vector via cm-super); mathematics reuses the Concrete text font through mathastext, so math letters, digits and operators are Concrete outlines too. Bold is produced by stroking glyph outlines: the package patches \bfseries so bold works in headings, tables
and list labels, and provides \bd{...}, a single command that bolds in both modes rCo ordinary bold in text, and in mathematics an in-place stroke that thickens any symbol (Latin or Greek) while preserving its shape, so \bd{x} keeps
its italic and \bd{\pi} gives a bold pi.

This is the first release.
