The 9 Universal Modern fonts are Windows ANSI TrueType versions of certain
Computer Modern typeface styles used in TeX and LaTeX.  We created these fonts
using the same precise techniques we used to convert the Computer Modern fonts
to TrueType, except that the character sets and encoding implemented in the
fonts follow the ANSI standard instead of the TeX versions, thus allowing the
typefaces to be used with ordinary Windows applications.  This conversion
involved a substantial number of new METAFONT designs (mostly taken from what
others have posted on CTAN), since so many of the ANSI characters are not
found in the original TeX fonts.

Because the Universal Modern fonts contain the complete ANSI character set in
a Windows ANSI encoding, they are fully compatible with non-TeX Windows
applications using English or Western European languages.  These fonts are
especially suitable:

   For use with non-TeX applications to create a graphic inserts,
	tables, or other items to be included in TeX documents
	via the TeX \special command.

   For producing documents with text having a ``TeX look'',
	but using a non-TeX application.

The fonts and their names are as follows:

umb10     Universal Modern Bold
umbx10    Universal Modern Bold Extended
umbxsl10  Universal Modern Bold Extended Slanted
umbxti10  Universal Modern Bold Extended Text Italic
umitt10   Universal Modern Typewriter Italic
umr10     Universal Modern Roman
umsltt10  Universal Modern Typewriter Slanted
umti10    Universal Modern Italic
umtt10    Universal Modern Typewriter

The conversions were done at the 10-point optical size, although of course
they may be scaled to other sizes linearly by Windows applications.

Acknowledgments:  The original CM fonts in METAFONT form are due to Donald
Knuth, as documented in volume E of the Computers and Typesetting series,
_Computer Modern Typefaces_ (1986).  Various other authors have produced
METAFONT designs for the ANSI characters not found in the TeX usage, which we
converted to complete our ANSI fonts.
