+Overview:
+=========
+
+Beamer and overhead presentations are often viewed under peculiar
+circumstances. 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.
