% All characters in romanu.mf except I are generated
% A special I with slab serifs is then substituted for the
% normal, confusing, sans-serif I of cmss* fonts.
% Based on the macros in the METAFONTbook, Appendix E,
% page 307 & 312.  Just as in the case of the iff
% macro, this depends on the expectation that every
% character program will end with endchar.
