It has everything you need to typeset in this font - +except the font itself, of course. + +There are several versions of the fonts available, different by the +version year. This package provides support for fonts as used by No +Starch Press, http://www.nostarch.com. To prevent a clash with +support of a newer version by W. A. Schmidt, the fontname |pfv| is +used instead of the standard |pfu|. + +INSTALLATION + +First, you need to purchase the fonts themselves: the pfb files are +not included in the package. If you got the fonts from No Starch +Press, do not rename the pfb files. However, if there are uppercase +letters in your file names, downcase them. If you obtained the fonts +from another source, rename the files according to the documentation +(futurans.pdf). + +If your TeX system is TDS-compliant, install the files into +$TEXMF/fonts/type1/adobe/futurans. Then download +http://ctan.tug.org/install/fonts/psfonts/adobe/futurans.tds.zip and +unzip this file in $TEXMF. Add +pfv.map to the configuration files of +dvips, pdftex and your dvi previewer. + +Run updmap and texhash programs to update the configuration files and +file names database. + +The included style futurans.sty makes your default Sans Serif family. + + +NOTE + +The files were generated using fontinst 1.927. + +CHANGES + +v1.1 Added light letterspaced, bold compressed and + heavy compressed fonts + +v1.2 Changed scales for letterspaced and compressed fonts + +v1.3 Added medium, bold and heavy letterspaced fonts + + +Boris Veytsman, borisv@lk.net |
