Text commands: the T1 encoding

The 309 font encoding is fine for typesetting in English, but has problems when typesetting other languages. The 310 encoding solves some of these problems, by providing extra characters (such as `eth' and `thorn'), and it allows words containing accented letters to be hyphenated (as long as you have a package like 311 which allows for non-American hyphenation). This section describes the commands you can use if you have the 312 fonts. To use them, you need to get the `ec fonts', or the 313-encoded PostScript fonts, as used by psnfss. All these fonts are available by anonymous ftp in the Comprehensive TeX<#478#><#478#> Archive, and are also available on the CD-ROMs <#479#>4all TeX<#479#> and <#656#>TeX<#480#><#480#> Live<#656#> (both available from the TeX<#481#><#481#> Users Group). You can then select the 314 fonts by saying: verbatim22 This will allow you to use the commands in this section. <#482#>Note:<#482#> Since this document must be processable on any site running an up-to-date LaTeX, it does not contain any characters that are present only in 315-encoded fonts. This means that this document cannot show you what these glyphs look like! If you want to see them then run LaTeX<#483#><#483#> on the document 316 and respond `317' when it prompts you for a family name.
