Many free fonts are extensions of a basic font family with new glyphs
or shapes. Sometimes they are given a new name due to license reasons
or the creators preference.

The `substitutefont` package facilitates the task to set up a font
family as substitute for another one in a specified font encoding.

Example:
  Palatino with the standard package `mathpazo` for Latin and 
  `GFS Didot`_ for Greek::
  
    \usepackage[sc,slantedGreek]{mathpazo}
    \substitutefont{LGR}{pplx}{udidot}

Source
  `<substitutefont.sty>`_, `<substitutefont.sty.html>`__

Tests
  * Palatino wiht Greek from `GFS Didot`_:
    `<greek-palatino-didot.tex>`__, `<greek-palatino-didot.pdf>`__
  * Latin Modern with Cyrillic from `CM LGC`_:
    `<cyrillic-times-paratype.tex>`__, `<cyrillic-times-paratype.pdf>`__
  * `TeX-Gyre` with Cyrillic from `ParaType`_:
    `<cyrillic-times-paratype.tex>`__, `<cyrillic-times-paratype.pdf>`__

sub­sti­tute­font – Easy font sub­sti­tu­tion

Many free fonts are ex­ten­sions of a ba­sic font fam­ily with new glyphs or shapes. Such fonts may be given a new name due to li­cence rea­sons or to the cre­ator’s pref­er­ence.
The pack­age fa­cil­i­tates the task of set­ting up a font fam­ily as sub­sti­tute for an­other one, us­ing its \sub­sti­tute­font com­mand.
