Announcement text:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
concrete-vec – Concrete text and mathematics as outlines, with a bold weight
concrete-vec typesets a document in Knuth's Concrete fonts with two properties
the existing Concrete packages do not jointly provide: every glyph, in text and
in mathematics, is a vector outline rather than a bitmap; and a bold weight is
available, synthesised by stroking, in both text and mathematics.
It is a thin configuration layer over ccfonts, mathastext and pdfrender, and
targets pdflatex. Text is set in T1-encoded Concrete (vector via cm-super);
mathematics reuses the Concrete text font through mathastext, so math letters,
digits and operators are Concrete outlines too. Bold is produced by stroking
glyph outlines: the package patches \bfseries so bold works in headings, tables
and list labels, and provides \bd{...}, a single command that bolds in both
modes — ordinary bold in text, and in mathematics an in-place stroke that
thickens any symbol (Latin or Greek) while preserving its shape, so \bd{x} keeps
its italic and \bd{\pi} gives a bold pi.
This is the first release.
