LaTeX Support For Futura Fonts From Adobe As Used By No Starch Press
Version 1.0a 2008/02/17
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|.
