VTeX Font Collection from CTAN

MicroPress presents a new project, called "CTAN Font Treasure Box". This project is a long-term work aimed to provide VTeX users with the most interesting font faces, originating from CTAN. While the traditional CTAN fonts are available only in bitmapped form, we supply these fonts as both IF4 (for .dvi compilation) and Type1 (for .pdf compilation) formats.

Distribution features include

Fonts in both Type 1 and IF4 formats, built from METAFONT sources with our modern BitCurve technology.
LaTeX2e configuration files, so that new fonts can be readily used in LaTeX environment.
Full documentation is provided.
Packaging in VTeX installer format.

Important: these packages require VTeX version 6.0 or higher.
