---

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.
