CTAN Update: PT Sans
by CTAN Announcements 10 Feb '11

10 Feb '11

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. Related package: ptserif ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts/ptsans/ .
