It is basically a merger of the times and the (obsolete) +longdesc mathptm packages from the psnfss suite of packages. You must have +longdesc installed standard LaTeX and the psnfss PostScript fonts to use +longdesc this package. The main novel feature is that the pslatex package +longdesc tries to compensate for the visual differences between the Adobe +longdesc fonts by scaling Helvetica by 90\%, and `condensing' Courier (i.e. +longdesc scaling horizontally) by 85\%. The package is supplied with a +longdesc (unix) shell file for a `pslatex' command that allows standard +longdesc LaTeX documents to be processed, without needing to edit the file. +longdesc Note that current psnfss uses a different technique for scaling +longdesc Helvetica, and treats Courier as a lost cause (there are better +longdesc free fixed-width available now, than there were when pslatex was +longdesc designed. As a result, pslatex is widely considered obsolete. +longdesc [description copied from TeX Catalogue] |
