RE: Coexisting 2.8 with 2.4

[Mats Bengtsson]

The fonts in 2.4 belonged to the European Computer Modern family, i.e. 
a version of cmr extended with all Latin1 characters.
For lyrics, the bold-narrow version was used, but for text scripts
and titling it was ecmr as far as I can remember, so it should be
identical to cmr.
