============================================================
The LaTeX package eurosans
version 3.1
============================================================
Walter Schmidt
w.a.schmidt@gmx.net
2004-01-26
Usage
-----
The LaTeX package eurosans.sty provides a convenient LaTeX
interface for the free Adobe Euro symbol fonts in Type 1
(PostScript) format. 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. They can be
obtained for free from Adobe:
http://www.adobe.com/type/eurofont.html
a) PC, Unix
You will receive a self-extracting archive "eurofont.exe" for
DOS/Win, which can be unpacked using Info-Zip's "unzip"
program, too. The archive file can also be downloaded
immediately:
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/type/win/all/eurofont.exe
ftp://ftp-pac.adobe.com/pub/adobe/type/win/all/eurofont.exe
b) Mac
The LWFN-Fonts and the Screenfonts for Apple Macintosh
Computers can be downloaded immediately as:
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/type/mac/all/eurofont.sea.hqx
You need Aladdin's StuffIt Expander to remove the binhex
encoding of the self-extracting archive.
(4)
a) PC, Unix
Move the .pfb and .afm files from the archive to a suitable
directory of your TeX system. When using the map file
"zpeu.map", you also have to rename the files as follows:
_1______.PFB -> zpeurs.pfb
_1B_____.PFB -> zpeubs.pfb
_1I_____.PFB -> zpeuris.pfb
_1BI____.PFB -> zpeubis.pfb
_2______.PFB -> zpeurt.pfb
_2B_____.PFB -> zpeubt.pfb
_2I_____.PFB -> zpeurit.pfb
_2BI____.PFB -> zpeubit.pfb
_3______.PFB -> zpeur.pfb
_3B_____.PFB -> zpeub.pfb
_3I_____.PFB -> zpeuri.pfb
_3BI____.PFB -> zpeubi.pfb
...and ditto for the .AFM files!
When using the map file "zpeu-origname.map", you need NOT
rename the files; however, on Unix you should make sure that
the names are lower case.
b) Mac
If you are using the LWFN fonts for Macs just copy them into
your Fonts folder in the System folder.
See the manual of your TeX distribution.for how to use the
screen fonts in your dvi viewer.
For OzTeX make a new config file or add the new fonts to an
existing config file like this:
zpeurs EuroSanReg "Euro Sans" nil
and so on for the other fonts.
Known problems
--------------
With dvips prior to version 5.83, partial font downloading
fails with an error message such as:
File ... ended before all chars have been found
We scan 0 Chars from 226
Last seen token was '/Euro'
Partial font downloading can be turned off by calling dvips
with the option -j0 or by specifying j0 in the dvips
configuration file.
This bug has been fixed with dvips version 5.83.
