The fonts are converted from METAFONT sources of the Computer Modern font families, using textrace. Supported encodings are: T1 (Latin), T2A (Cyrillic), LGR (Greek) and TS1. The package also includes Unicode virtual fonts for use with Omega.

The font set is not a replacement for any of the other Computer Modern-based font sets (for example, cm-super for Latin and Cyrillic, or cbgreek for Greek), since it is available at a single size only; it offers a compact set for "general" working. The fonts themselves are encoded to "external" standards, and virtual fonts are provided for use with TeX. The author is Alexej Kryukov.
