Summary : Use PostScript fonts by default
URL : http://tug.org/texlive/
License : LPPL
Description : A small package that makes LaTeX default to 'standard'
: PostScript fonts. It is basically a merger of the times and the
: (obsolete) mathptm packages from the psnfss suite. You must
: have installed standard LaTeX and the psnfss PostScript fonts
: to use this package. The main novel feature is that the pslatex
: package tries to compensate for the visual differences between
: the Adobe fonts by scaling Helvetica by 90%, and 'condensing'
: Courier (i.e. scaling horizontally) by 85%. The package is
: supplied with a (unix) shell file for a 'pslatex' command that
: allows standard LaTeX documents to be processed, without
: needing to edit the file. Note that current psnfss uses a
: different technique for scaling Helvetica, and treats Courier
: as a lost cause (there are better free fixed-width available
: now, than there were when pslatex was designed). As a result,
: pslatex is widely considered obsolete.
