Updates for styles, shells, and fonts

• Update for Linda Gilbert book shell document
  Solution to: A shell document for the Linda Gilbert Book style was not provided in version 3.0, however, it was available in version 2.5. All the LaTeX style files are included with version 3.0, so only the shell document is needed.

• Update for Computer Modern 11pt font
  Solution to: The Style Editor font scheme Computer Modern 11pt can be used after applying this update.

• New Computer Modern font schemes
  Solution to: A customer was trying to create a .dvi file that selected only Computer Modern Roman (CMR) fonts. Even though the non-multilingual LaTeX format file was selected, some DC fonts were being pulled into the .dvi file. To avoid this problem, a set of font scheme files were created that use only CMR fonts.

Updates for language issues

• Update for packgs.opt file
  Solution to: The Danish language option for the Babel package can be properly selected without generating a LaTeX error after applying this update.

• Update for unitofnt.efn  
  Solution to: This problem occurs only with a version of Windows that uses multiple bytes to display characters, like Japanese Windows or Chinese Windows. Certain punctuation characters do not display properly in the Scientific Word or Scientific WorkPlace edit window. These happen to include all the characters on the General Punctuation symbol panel.
