We review the use of simple currents in constructing modular invariant partition functions and the problem of resolving their fixed points. We present some new results, in particular regarding fixed point resolution. Additional empirical evidence is provided in support of our conjecture that fixed points are always related to some conformal field theory. We complete the identification of the fixed point conformal field theories for all simply laced and most non-simply laced Kac-Moody algebras, for which the fixed point CFT’s turn out to be Kac-Moody algebras themselves. For the remaining non-simply laced ones we obtain spectra that appear to correspond to new non-unitary conformal field theories. The fusion rules of the simplest unidentified example are computed.
