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. + +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 from free from Adobe: + + <http://www.adobe.com/type/eurofont.html> + +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 + +(4) 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. + + + +Known problems +-------------- +With dvips prior to version 5.83, partial font downloading +will fail with an error message like this one: + + File <_1bi____.pfb> ended before all chars have been found + We scan 0 Chars from 226 + Lst 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. + + + +History +------- +v3.0 2002-01-09 + optional scaling + +v2.1 2000-06-15 + the EuroMono fonts are used for the condensed series + +v2.0 1999-07-21 + changed the font names acording to "Karl Berry" scheme + +v1.0 1999-01-19 + \euro is now robust; + documentation update + +v0.9 1998-11-09 + first public version + + +-- finis |
