The bold-extra package
A jiffy to provide access (in LATEX) to (some of) the fonts
in CTAN directory fonts/cm/mf-extra/bold

This package is provided under the provisions of the LATEX Project Public Licence, http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt
This packages provides font shapes to support bold small caps and TT text. There is a choice of bold TT fonts, which are selected by package options cmbtt and cmttb (this reflects the confusingly similar font names). The default (based on the author’s
estimation of the fonts’ relative merits) is cmttb.
To use these fonts you need theirMETAFONT sources available to your TEX system (as far as I know, there are no Type 1 versions of the fonts available yet). Place them in an appropriate place under fonts/source in your TDS texmf tree; place this file somewhere like tex/latex/misc in your tree. See http://www.tex.ac.uk/ cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=instpackages+wherefiles for more details.
