Southall, Richard. Richard Southall papers, 1981-1986.

Title: Richard Southall papers, 1981-1986.

These papers pertain to Southall's work on METAFONT and fall into four broad categories. The first concerns 'the CMR project': the revision undertaken by Southall and Stanford Prof D. E. Knuth in March and April 1982 of Knuth's original design for the bold sanserif variant of the Computer Modern family of typefaces. The second consists of notes, teaching material, and products from the course in METAFONT programming (CS279) that was given at Stanford in the summer of 1984 to introduce the new version of the METAFONT language. The third category of material consists of notes and correspondence relating to the work of the digital typography group at Stanford from late 1983 until the beginning of the CS279 course in 1984. The fourth comprises development material, program listings, and tests for the two versions (known as TKMF and NMT) of Southall's own METAFONT font typeface design. This was begun in late 1983, revised in 1984 with the appearance of the new METAFONT, continued at the Université Louis-Pasteur in Strasbourg in the summer of 1985, and eventually abandoned owing to the necessity for Southall to complete his report "Designing new typefaces with METAFONT" (STAN-CS-85-1074) before leaving his post at Stanford.
