indeed, once we have convinced the polish and czech that they should use the
accented variants in lmr (consistency etc, as discussed at eurotex)
one thing to keep in mind is that for pdftex you need lines like
cmr10 CMR10 <cmr10.pfb
while dvips wants:
cmr10 "the full latin modern name" <cmr10.pfb
if pdftex map files have the full name, inclusion of files that already have cmr
fonts embedded will be very inefficient (i had examples of hundreds of addition
cmr subsetted fonts) because pdftex compares the internal names.
future versions of pdftex will probably be able to handle constructs like:
cmr10 foo,bar <cmr10.pfb
so that we can add both the old and new internal name.
[context already made the switch to latin modern, and it is a bit of a struggle
for users to get things integrated in their tree; i post lmr archives in the tds
format for that purpose; as long as mall bugfixes take place in lmr, we need to
make sure that tetex/fptex/gwtex use the latest versions; this can be a problem
with official linux distributions since they are sometimes quite frozen to a
stable version of tetex; so .. a clear version indication is important)
