+============================================================
+ Using the URW A030 (Arial) font family with LaTeX
+============================================================
+ 2006-03-21

+
+Loading of the macro package uarial.sty, i.e.
+
+ \usepackage{uarial}
+
+makes LaTeX use URW A030 (Arial) as the default sans serif
+font family. Note that this does _not_ change the math
+fonts, and that there exist _no_ matching math fonts for
+Arial, anyway.
+
+
+
+Optional Scaling:
+
+The Arial fonts appear larger than many others, when used
+with the same nominal size. The macro package provides an
+option to scale the Zurich fonts, in order to make blending
+with other fonts easier. For instance,
+
+ \usepackage[scaled=0.90]{uarial}
+
+will scale the Arial fonts down to 90% of their nominal
+size. When the value is omitted, i.e.,
+
+ \usepackage[scaled]{uarial}
+
+a default scale of 0.95 is assumed.

+
+Available encodings are T1 (Cork) and TS1 (textcompanion).
+The TS1 encoding comprises only those gylphs that belong to
+the ISO-Adobe character set, plus the Euro symbol.
