That used to be the feature of metafont fonts and derived PostScript ones (like cm-super).

Or Latin Modern, also derived from the meta sources.

But it seems now, with TeX Gyre becoming the default free fonts set, it seems the idea is dropped.

LM is default, and is fully optically scaled

But lacks cyrillic.

And it's not planned to add it, here is a quote from the EuroTeX 2005 preprints: Although the LM glyph repertoire is already fairly rich, it can and should be extended further: the next step will be perhaps the addition of glyphs specific for African Latin-based alphabets. It is not within the scope of the project, however, to include Cyrillic and Greek alphabets.

Is there any mkiv-style support for cm-super?

You should take a look at the computer modern unicode¹ fonts. I wrote a typescript for the basic styles and a short test file but optical sizes are missing. ¹http://canopus.iacp.dvo.ru/%7Epanov/cm-unicode/ Wolfgang

Well, the L in LM stands for "Latin" :-)

indeed also, there has been discussions about cyrillic in gyre but somehow we cannot get cyrillic users organized in a way that they can do quality assurance etc etc. maybe the context cyrillic users can organized themselves in a group who is willing to help getting it done in lm and gyre Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
