Summary : Font support for common PostScript fonts
URL : http://tug.org/texlive/
License : LPPL
Description : Font definition files, macros and font metrics for freely-
: available Adobe Type 1 fonts. The font set consists of the
: 'LaserWriter 35' set (originally 'freely available' because
: embedded in PostScript printers), and a variety of other free
: fonts, together with some additions. Note that while many of
: the fonts are available in PostScript (and other) printers,
: most publishers require fonts embedded in documents, which
: requires that you have the fonts in your TeX system.
: Fortunately, there are free versions of the fonts from URW
: (available in the URW base5 bundle). The base set of text fonts
: covered by PSNFSS are: AvantGarde, Bookman, Courier, Helvetica,
: New Century Schoolbook, Palatino, Symbol, Times Roman and Zapf
: Dingbats. In addition, the fonts Bitstream Charter and Adobe
: Utopia are covered (those fonts were contributed to the Public
: Domain by their commercial foundries). Separate packages are
: provided to load each font for use as main text font. The
: packages helvet (which allows Helvetica to be loaded with its
: size scaled to something more nearly appropriate for its use as
: a Sans-Serif font to match Times) and pifont (which provides
: the means to select single glyphs from symbol fonts) are
: tailored to special requirements of their fonts. Mathematics
: are covered by the mathptmx package, which constructs passable
: mathematics from a combination of Times Roman, Symbol and some
: glyphs from Computer Modern, and by Pazo Math (optionally
: extended with the fpl small-caps and old-style figures fonts)
: which uses Palatino as base font, with the mathpazo fonts. The
: bundle as a whole is part of the LaTeX 'required' set of
: packages.
