Herman Zapf, one of the greatest type designers, passed away on June 4,
2015. He was 96. Apart from the design of Palatino, Optima and a variety of
fonts, he had contributed considerably in the design of math symbols of
computer modern, the default fonts used in TeX. Microtypographic extensions
implemented in pdfTeX by The Thanh Han owe its origins to him.
