While adapting plain.tex to Latin Modern font family I tried
\font \X = "Latin Modern Roman/R" \X
Filmuj rzeź żądań, pość, gnęb chłystków!
\font \Y = "Latin Modern Roman-Regular 10" \Y
Filmuj rzeź żądań, pość, gnęb chłystków!
and \X changes font to LMRoman10-CapsRegular (so /R doesn't work)
and \Y changes font to LMRoman10-Regular (so it works)
1. FYI, the sentence above contains all 32 Polish characters.
Something like the English sentence:
A QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG.)
2. Latin Modern OTF fonts, version 1.0 are available from
ftp://ftp.bop.com.pl/pub/lm/lm1.00bas.zip
Thanks for your hints.
