I have released version 1.0 of my naming scheme for TeX fonts. You can get it by anonymous ftp from ftp.cs.umb.edu [192.12.26.23]:pub/tex/fontname/fontname.texi I will also send it to you by email if you cannot ftp. It is about 25K in size. It is in Texinfo format, so you will need the TeX macros in the file texinfo.tex (distributed with most GNU programs) to be able to print it; that same directory also has a texinfo.tex. The rest of that directory contains the files showing the naming scheme applied to the Computer Modern, AMS, and Adobe fonts. This is an update of my article in TUGboat 11(4). The main changes are a much longer list of typeface families, a somewhat longer exposition of the problems with the naming scheme, and a proposal for another naming scheme for arbitrarily-long names (and a slight enhancement to TeX, approved by Professor Knuth, to allow this). I would very much appreciate any additions, criticisms, or other comments. karl@cs.umb.edu
