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.
