name pslatex category Package shortdesc Use PostScript fonts by default. longdesc A small package that makes LaTeX default to `standard' PostScript longdesc fonts. 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]
