That's good news indeed! Does anybody know about the relative merits of 
the two implementations available on CTAN:

tex-archive/fonts/ps-type1/cm-super
tex-archive/fonts/ps-type1/ec

(The README file of the second implementation says it was done with 
TeXtrace by the author of TeXtrace, the README file of the first 
implementation mentions use of TeXtrace and additional hinting with 
FontLab.)

By the way, I just noticed on CTAN that errors in the BSR/Y&Y PostScript 
versions of some CM fonts have recently been corrected. From the README 
file: "An error in the PostScript code for the lasy*, line* and lcircle* 
fonts was corrected in June 2001". On CTAN the updated fonts reside in:

tex-archive/fonts/cm/ps-type1/bluesky/pfb

In teTeX the original fonts reside in:

/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm

Cheers,
