**'''Jacko/Janusz (2004-04-16)''': ''Not touched yet.''
* [mailto:moho01ab@student.cbs.dk Morten Høgholm] (2004-04-16): It would be great if the <code>`solidus'</code> ‘solidus’ could have a fake lenght so that you wouldn't need to kern all the time; just like it is in the Adobe fonts.
== Single glyphs/ligatures ==
:The kerning is also an issue, in light of Knuth's original goal, described in the TUGboat 21(2): ''"the rendering [should] be the same in ten years [...] on everybody's machine it [should] come out the same, not only now but in the future."'' An ambitious goal, but at any rate, the smaller the kerning differences, the better.
* Morten Høgholm (2004-06-11): At this years BachoTeX I talked to Boguslaw about adding some more ligatures to Latin Modern, as we in Danish really need fj. At http://www.eur.nl/fw/staff/lokhorst/metafont.html a lot of ligatures are shown, although not all of them are particular nice. He promised to look at it. (When you have the standard fi and ij ligatures, you would also think there should be an fij, right? In polish they have a common flower named `fijolet' ‘fijolet’ making Boguslaw even more eager to add it... The Dutch use it in common words as `fijn' ‘fijn’ as well.) I guess this calls for a special fontencoding for Danish users. Harald Harders: There are some good ligatures. But for example the fff ligature is useless in German. You should be careful in adding new ligatures.
* Martín Darío Safe (2004-07-05): When using the lm package version 0.92, almost all occurrences of ‘ij’ and ‘IJ’ in your document will output ij and IJ Dutch digraphs. This seems inadequate for all European languages but Dutch. Also, this behaviour can prevent you from copying and pasting, searching, and indexing words containing ‘ij’ on PDF files for non-Dutch texts.

:Small caps are circa 10% wider; therefore, cmcsc10 and cmr10 cannot just be joined into a single [[OpenType]] font with small caps available through the `smcp' ‘smcp’ feature.
:* Peter Dyballa (2004-11-25): Will Robertson has prepared an OpenType version of the [[Latin Modern]] fonts (for usage with [[XeTeX]]): http://www.mecheng.adelaide.edu.au/~will/tex/
