+============================================================
+ The LaTeX package eurosans
+ version 3.1
+============================================================

+
+Usage
+-----
+The LaTeX package eurosans.sty provides a convenient LaTeX
+interface for the free Adobe Euro symbol fonts in Type 1
+(PostScript) format. Loading of the package
+
+ \usepackage{eurosans}
+
+provides a new command
+
+ \euro
+
+which typesets an Euro symbol. The weight (medium or
+boldface), shape (upright or oblique) and width (regular or
+condensed) varies according to the font currently selected.
+The symbol blends well with most typefaces, except for
+typewriter fonts. The medium/upright/regular variant meets
+the official design by the EC.
+
+The Euro fonts can be scaled, in order to match the other
+fonts in the document, by loading the package with the
+option [scaled=...]. For instance, to use the Euro fonts at
+90% of their natural size:
+
+ \usepackage[scaled=0.9]{eurosans}
+
+The eurosans package requires the package keyval.sty, which
+is part of the "graphics" bundle and should be available
+with any decent LaTeX system.
+
+
+
+The font family eurosans
+------------------------
+The command \euro switches to a particular font family named
+"eurosans", which is set up with the encoding "U" only.
+
+NFSS classification:
+
+ series shapes PostScript FontName
+ --------------------------------------------------------
+ m n,it,sl EuroSans-Regular, EuroSans-Italic
+ b,bx n,it,sl EuroSans-Bold, EuroSans-BoldItalic
+ mc n,it,sl EuroMono-Regular, EuroMono-Italic
+ sbc,bc n,it,sl EuroMono-Bold, EuroMono-BoldItalic
+
+(The EuroMono typefaces are actually condensed versions of
+EuroSans.)
+
+
+
+Obtaning and installing the Euro Fonts
+--------------------------------------
+(1) Install the font metrics (.tfm files), to be found in
+the CTAN directory fonts/euro/tfm.
+
+
+(2) Install a font map file for dvips, pdfTeX etc, to be found
+in the CTAN directory fonts/euro/dvips:
+
+zpeu.map is for use with dvips and pdfTeX on PC or Unix
+ platform, it requires renaming of the fonts according to
+ the Karl-Berry scheme.
+
+zpeu-origname.map: dito, but you need not rename the fonts;
+
+zpeu-mac.map is for use on the Mac platform
+
+A font map file and the .tfm files for the Euro fonts may
+already be provided in your TeX system, so that you need not
+install them manually; please, consult its documentation!
+
+
+(3) Due to legal reasons, the actual Type1 fonts (.pfb and
+.afm files) are _not_ distributed from CTAN. They can be
+obtained for free from Adobe:
+
+ http://www.adobe.com/type/eurofont.html
+
+a) PC, Unix
+
+You will receive a self-extracting archive "eurofont.exe" for
+DOS/Win, which can be unpacked using Info-Zip's "unzip"
+program, too. The archive file can also be downloaded
+immediately:
+
+ ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/type/win/all/eurofont.exe
+ ftp://ftp-pac.adobe.com/pub/adobe/type/win/all/eurofont.exe
+
+b) Mac
+
+The LWFN-Fonts and the Screenfonts for Apple Macintosh
+Computers can be downloaded immediately as:
+
+ ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/type/mac/all/eurofont.sea.hqx
+
+You need Aladdin's StuffIt Expander to remove the binhex
+encoding of the self-extracting archive.
+
+
+(4)
+
+a) PC, Unix
+
+Move the .pfb and .afm files from the archive to a suitable
+directory of your TeX system. When using the map file
+"zpeu.map", you also have to rename the files as follows:
+
+ _1______.PFB -> zpeurs.pfb
+ _1B_____.PFB -> zpeubs.pfb
+ _1I_____.PFB -> zpeuris.pfb
+ _1BI____.PFB -> zpeubis.pfb
+ _2______.PFB -> zpeurt.pfb
+ _2B_____.PFB -> zpeubt.pfb
+ _2I_____.PFB -> zpeurit.pfb
+ _2BI____.PFB -> zpeubit.pfb
+ _3______.PFB -> zpeur.pfb
+ _3B_____.PFB -> zpeub.pfb
+ _3I_____.PFB -> zpeuri.pfb
+ _3BI____.PFB -> zpeubi.pfb
+
+...and ditto for the .AFM files!
+
+When using the map file "zpeu-origname.map", you need NOT
+rename the files; however, on Unix you should make sure that
+the names are lower case.
+
+b) Mac
+
+If you are using the LWFN fonts for Macs just copy them into
+your Fonts folder in the System folder.
+
+See the manual of your TeX distribution.for how to use the
+screen fonts in your dvi viewer.
+
+For OzTeX make a new config file or add the new fonts to an
+existing config file like this:
+
+ zpeurs EuroSanReg "Euro Sans" nil
+
+and so on for the other fonts.
+
+
+
+Known problems
+--------------
+With dvips prior to version 5.83, partial font downloading
+fails with an error message such as:
+
+ File ... ended before all chars have been found
+ We scan 0 Chars from 226
+ Last seen token was '/Euro'
+
+Partial font downloading can be turned off by calling dvips
+with the option -j0 or by specifying j0 in the dvips
+configuration file.
+
+This bug has been fixed with dvips version 5.83.
