Hermann Zapf, the original designer, reshaped many of the glyphs previously distributed, with implementation and assistance from Hans Hagen, Taco Hoekwater, and Volker RW Schaa. Version 3.0 of the Euler fonts was presented to Donald Knuth on his birthday, January 10, 2008. In order to assure the authenticity of the fonts, copyright was assigned to the American Mathematical Society.

The outlines for the AMS Euler fonts were derived algorithmically from METAFONT code using tools developed by Y&Y.Ĭharacter- and font-level hints were programmed using software from Y&Y, with extensive hand work by Blenda Horn. The Type 1 versions of the CM fonts (1990) and AMSFonts (1992) were produced by Blue Sky Research of Portland, Oregon, and Y&Y, Inc., of Concord, Massachusetts, who published the fonts in conjunction with their commercial implementations of the TeX program.Ĭharacter outlines for the CM fonts were derived from high-resolution METAFONT-generated character bitmaps by the ScanLab application from Projective Solutions (Ian Morrison and Henry Pinkham), applied and corrected by Douglas Henderson of Blue Sky Research. The AMSFonts collection includes Euler (designed by Hermann Zapf), "extra symbols" (created at AMS), and cyrillic fonts (created at the University of Washington).
The CM fonts collection includes the 75 fonts described in Donald Knuth's Computer Modern Typefaces (Volume E of the Computers & Typesetting series) as well as the "line", "circle" and symbol fonts associated with LaTeX. The AMSFonts distribution is composed of two parts: the Computer Modern (CM) fonts, and the original AMSFonts.
The Type 1 fonts are now part of the main AMSFonts distribution.
