Ready for Distribution

The first general release of fonts created at the American Mathematical Society will be made in August, at about the time of the TUG meeting. This first release will consist of cyrillic and two 128-character fonts of mathematical symbols, all in various sizes and weights. It is our intention that these fonts be added to the standard distribution, and we will make an effort to provide the necessary files to all sites from which the TEX package is being distributed. It will not be possible to provide this material directly to users, since the Society's DEC~20 computer has proved singularly unsuitable for making tapes that can be read by any other kind of machine.
A master tape will be delivered to Stanford by one of the AMS attendees at the TUG meeting. This tape will contain the METAFONT78 sources necessary to generate the fonts in distribution format, along with several files of macros, documentation and user instructions. Actual addition of this material to distribution tapes (and PC diskettes) has not yet been fully arranged, but it should be possible to announce these arrangements at the TUG meeting.
