ly1 – Support for LY1 LaTeX encoding
The Y&Y ‘texnansi’ (TeX and ANSI, for Microsoft interpretations of ANSI standards) encoding lives on, even after the decease of the company; it is known in the LaTeX scheme of things as LY1 encoding. This bundle includes metrics and LaTeX macros to use the basic three (Times, Helvetica and Courier) Adobe Type 1 fonts in LaTeX using LY1 encoding.
