Hi,
first of all I must say that it is great that Richard Kinch makes the
fonts available.

I have prepared a .ps file which shows the differences between CMMI10
(from AMS, red) and cmmi10 (from Richard Kinch, blue).  It can be
downloaded (133 kb) from:

http://www.kammer.uni-hannover.de/~reinhard/fontsample/CMMI10-cmmi10.ps

It is interesting to see the differences in /beta.

The program which produced the file was a quick hack to find out
whether the free URW fonts are identical to the original Adobe fonts.
It assumes AdobeStandardEncoding but has a commandline option which
allows to show all encoded glyphs, which has been used here.

It would be helpful if it could convert a .gf font to Type3 and put it
in the background.  That would make it quite easy to see which /beta
is closer to Knuth's design, but unfortunately it's not at the top of
my TODO list.

Regards,
  Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
