New on CTAN: cmgraded
New LaTeX Package ‘cmgraded’ Classic LaTeX Look and Feel with LuaLaTeX and OpenType Fonts in different Grades of Blackness This new LaTeX package “cmgraded” contains OpenType and Type 1 (Adobe/PostScript) fonts named “Computer Modern Graded” that have been generated from the original “Computer Modern” fonts by Donald E. Knuth and TeX metrics by applying different grades of “blackness” via METAFONT that make the fonts gradually darker, while keeping metrics intact and not turning a regular weight font visually into a bold one. The fonts come in seven increasingly black grades and can be easily used. Text fonts are OpenType, while math is so far with Type 1 fonts, which means that text can be fully tagged and thus made accessible. There are many more options and angles to this package than meet the eye, just see the documentation. Of course, the fonts can also be used outside of TeX/LaTeX, with anything that speaks OpenType, including web content.
