dejavu
package.
Summary description: LaTeX support for the fonts DejaVu
License type: other-free
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package contains LaTeX support for the fonts DejaVu. They are derived
from the Vera fonts and contain more characters and styles.
Changes:
- Added the QX encoding (requested by Mojca Miklavec).
- Added the LGR encoding (it may be usable as it is, but
I think that it needs an improvement--see the
documentation).
- I moved the documentation of the fonts to its own subdirectory.
