A new package has been installed at tug.ctan.org and should soon appear, as if by magic, at your favorite mirror. Thank you for the contribution, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: arev Author's name: Stephen Hartke Location on CTAN: /fonts/arev Summary description: Virtual fonts and LaTeX support files for Arev Sans License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package arev provides virtual fonts and LaTeX packages for using Arev Sans. 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. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/arev .

The package arev provides type 1 and virtual fonts, together with packages for using Arev Sans in both text and mathematics.

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.
