+ LaTeX Support For Futura Fonts From Adobe As Used By No Starch Press
+
+ Version 1.3 2008/03/20
+
+This package provides metric files and LaTeX support for Futura fonts
+from Adobe. 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.
+

+
+v1.1 Added light letterspaced, bold compressed and
