files are not included in the package. To use the Greek
letters need to install the package Mathdesign.

On Thu, 10 Feb 2011 Pavel Farar submitted an update to the
ptsans
package.
Summary description: PT Sans font and LaTeX support.
License type: other-free
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- In the fonts/enc/ and fonts/map directories omitted the paratype level
(suggested by Karl Berry).
- Changed style files in this way:
1) Added an option to scale the fonts. In the font definition files
was support for it but not in the style files. It was caused
by creating simpler style files than those created by autoinst
from fontools (they were created because the original files
required the package fontenc with all supported encodings --
which might be a problem).
2) Style files do not change neither familydefault nor fdefault.
There are font substitutions in the font definition files now.
Both suggested by Ricard Torres. Used his patches (based on Walter
Schmidt's macros) for PTSans.sty and T1PTSans-TLF.fd. The changes
extended to all other files.

was submitted.
Summary description: no more spurious line from par at end of footnote text

KEYWORDs: footnotes; tables, dummy text, macro programming
