A small package that makes LaTeX default to 'standard' PostScript
|
||
|
|
fonts. It is basically a merger of the times and the (obsolete)
|
||
|
|
mathptm packages from the psnfss suite. You must have installed
|
||
|
|
standard LaTeX and the psnfss PostScript fonts to use this package.
|
||
|
|
The main novel feature is that the pslatex package tries to compensate
|
||
|
|
for the visual differences between the Adobe fonts by scaling
|
||
|
|
Helvetica by 90%, and 'condensing' Courier (i.e. scaling horizontally)
|
||
|
|
by 85%. The package is supplied with a (unix) shell file for a
|
||
|
|
'pslatex' command that allows standard LaTeX documents to be
|
||
|
|
processed, without needing to edit the file. Note that current psnfss
|
||
|
|
uses a different technique for scaling Helvetica, and treats Courier
|
||
|
|
as a lost cause (there are better free fixed-width available now, than
|
||
|
|
there were when pslatex was designed). As a result, pslatex is widely
|
||
|
|
considered obsolete.
