thanks for the upload; i've installed the new package, and made an entry
for it in the catalogue repository.

substitutefont – Obsolete package to combine font families for different font encodings
This package used to facilitate the task of setting up a font family as a substitute for another one in a specified font encoding.
It has been obsoleted by the NFSS command \DeclareFontFamilySubstitution added to the LaTeX kernel in its 2020-02 release (cf. ltnews31).
Existing documents can be updated by removing \usepackage{substitutefont} and replacing all instances of \substitutefont with \DeclareFontFamilySubstitution.
