Especially for presentations which are projected +directly `out of the computer', low power of the beamer, low +resolution and an abundance of colors can lead to severe readability +problems. + +It is therefore of utmost importance to optimize font selection as +much as possible towards readability. + +The package tpslifonts offers a couple of `harmonising' combinations +of text and math fonts from the (distant) relatives of computer modern +fonts, with a couple of extras for optimising readability. + +The package offers the following features: + + 1) Text fonts from computer modern roman, computer modern sans serif, + SliTeX computer modern sans serif, computer modern bright, or + concrete roman. + + 2) Support for OT1 and T1 font encoding. + + 3) Math fonts from computer modern math, computer modern bright math, + or Euler fonts. + + 4) Support of additional symbol fonts like AMS symbols or + doublestroke. + + 5) All fonts configured for `smooth scaling' (like in the type1cm + package). + + 6) Avoiding fonts not freely available in Type 1 format. + + 7) Careful design size selection for optimum readability. + +For some of the options to yield satisfying results, it is neccessary +to install additional (free) Type1 fonts on your system. + +There's no intention to support other font families like the typical +``psnfss'' PostScript fonts, as they usually don't come in different +design sizes, making the effort of tuning them for viewing futile. If +you wish to use such a font, load it with the usual packages. + +tpslifonts is part of the TeXPower bundle, residing at + +http://texpower.sourceforge.net/ + +but is completely independent and can be used without texpower without +problems. The example document slifontsexample.tex can also be +compiled without TeXPower installed. + |
