CTAN update: arev

Date: August 12, 2005 10:43:20 AM CEST
On Fri, 12 Aug 2005, Stephen Hartke submitted an update to his arev font package. Location on CTAN: /fonts/arev Summary description: Type 1 fonts, virtual fonts, and LaTeX support files for Arev Sans License type: lppl Announcement text:
The package arev provides Type 1 fonts, virtual fonts, and LaTeX packages for using Arev Sans for both text and mathematics. Arev Sans is a derivative of Bitstream Vera Sans created by Tavmjong Bah by adding support for Greek and Cyrillic characters. Bah also added a few variant letters that are more appropriate for mathematics. The primary purpose for using Arev Sans in LaTeX is presentations, particularly when using a computer projector. Arev Sans is quite readable for presentations, with large x-height, "open letters," wide spacing, and thick stems. The style is very similar to the SliTeX font lcmss, but heavier.
Thanks for the update. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

The package arev provides type 1 and virtual fonts, together with packages for using Arev Sans in both text and mathematics. Arev Sans is a derivative of Bitstream Vera Sans created by Tavmjong Bah, adding support for Greek and Cyrillic characters. Bah also added a few variant letters that are more appropriate for mathematics. The primary purpose for using Arev Sans in is presentations, particularly when using a computer projector. In such a context, Arev Sans is quite readable, with large x-height, "open letters", wide spacing, and thick stems. The style is very similar to the Sli font lcmss, but heavier.

Arev is one of a very small number of sans-font mathematics support packages. Others are cmbright, hvmath and kerkis.
