steve simmons (comp.text.tex, 12 august 1992) is looking for size-independent computer modern fonts. what he is looking for does not exist. computer modern is based on the philosophy that different sizes require certain variations in design that are not implementable through linear scaling, and i have yet to see a run-time font-generating system that provides for the rather large number and different kinds of parameters that are used to control the particular cm variations specified by the designer (knuth). maybe sometime, but not yet, and not unless knuth says the result is cm. -- bb
