L^ATEX2_e fonts

The most important difference between L^ATEX 2.09 and L^ATEX2_e is the way that fonts are selected. In L^ATEX 2.09, the Computer Modern fonts were built into the L^ATEX format, and so customizing L^ATEX to use other fonts was a major effort. In L^ATEX2_e, very few fonts are built into the format, and there are commands to load new text and math fonts. Packages such as times or latexsym allow authors to access these fonts. This document describes how to write similar font-loading packages. The L^ATEX2_e font selection system was first released as the `New Font Selection Scheme' (NFSS) in 1989, and then in release 2 in 1993. L^ATEX2_e includes NFSS release 2 as standard.
