MarVoSym is Martin Vogel's Symbols font. It contains many useful
symbols, especially for office and civil engineering purposes.
This marvosym package contains additional support files for TeX; any
questions or comments about it should go to its current maintainer,
not Martin.
Original TrueType font creator: Martin Vogel
Type 1 derivative, TeX macros, documentation:
Thomas Henlich (original package)
Mojca Miklavec (updates; current maintainer)
With special thanks to:
Karl Berry (many useful comments)
Heiko Oberdiek (created symbol list)
Contact info, urls: see OFL.txt.
Licensing: fonts under OFL; TeX support files under LPPL.
Installation: for TeX, your TeX distribution should already provide the
package. If you need to install it yourself, you can download it from
CTAN (http://ctan.org/pkg/marvosym) and then see
http://tug.org/fonts/fontinstall.html.
To install for non-TeX (native) use on Windows, copy the .ttf
into your system font directory or otherwise follow Windows procedures.
