============================================================ The font family URW Letter Gothic ============================================================ 2005-02-02 Walter Schmidt w-a-schmidt(at)gmx.net Using URW Letter Gothic with LaTeX ================================== Letter Gothic is set of of general-purpose monospaced (typewriter) fonts. Loading of the package ulgothic.txt \usepackage{ulgothic} makes LaTeX use them as the default typewriter font family, i.e., the font family that is used with \ttfamily or \texttt. Notice that the URW Letter Gothic fonts are supported with T1 (european) and TS1 (textcompanion) encoding only, so you should issue the commands \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{textcomp} in the document preamble. The obsolete OT1 encoding, which is still the default with LaTeX, is _not_ supported. The Letter Gothic fonts appear somewhat larger than many other font families, when used at the same nominal size. This can be fixed by loading the package so with the option [scaled=...]. For instance, \usepackage[scaled=0.9]{ulgothic} loads the Letter Gothic fonts, scaled down to 90% of their "natural" size. Omitting the factor, i.e., \usepackage[scaled]{ulgothic} selects a default scaling of 85%, which makes the height of the letters match CM typewriter. NFSS classification: encodings family series shape(s) FontName(s) -------------------------------------------------------- T1, TS1 ulg m n, it LetterGothic-Bol, LetterGothic-BolIta Note that the series "m" is assigned to a set of "Bold" fonts, because they are not very dark and blend blend well with the normal series of other typeface families. True "bold" cuts are, unfortunately, not available. License ======= Distribution and modification of the the URW Letter Gothic fonts are subject to the Aladdin Free Public License .
