************************************************************ * * * The Verdana wrapper * * * ************************************************************ Walter Daems walter.daems(at)ieee.org 'Verdana' is a common font that can be downloaded from: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/verdan32.exe?download The font is readily available on machines with a Microsoft operating system and can be downloaded on non MS-machines (check the documentation for this). The wrapper provides a T1 encoded font. No effort has been spent on making the font ready for use in math expressions. If anyone wants to take this on, please let me know. The package has an option 'nofligs' to avoid f-ligature problems with the more recent Verdana versions (v2008 and v2010). This distribution comprises: * the TeX and Adobe font metrics, * the LaTeX macro package verdana.sty and the related font definition file The distribution does not comprise: * the TTF files themselves; You can download them from: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/verdan32.exe?download To install, move all files to the corresponding directories of your TeX system. Documentation regarding the use of the fonts can be found in the document verdana.pdf.
