+
+'Verdana' is a common font that can be downloaded from:
+http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/verdan32.exe?download
+
+The font is readily available on machines with a Microsoft
+operating system and can be downloaded on non MS-machines
+(check the documentation for this).
+
+The wrapper provides a T1 encoded font.
+No effort has been spent on making the font ready for use in
+math expressions. If anyone wants to take this on, please
+let me know.
+
+The package has an option 'nofligs' to avoid f-ligature
+problems with the more recent Verdana versions (v2008 and
+v2010).
+
+This distribution comprises:
+
+* the TeX and Adobe font metrics,
+
+* the LaTeX macro package verdana.sty and the related font
+ definition file
+
+The distribution does not comprise:
+
+* the TTF files themselves;
+ You can download them from:
+ http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/verdan32.exe?download
+
+To install, move all files to the corresponding directories
+of your TeX system.
+
+Documentation regarding the use of the fonts can be found in
+the document verdana.pdf.
