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.

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

Greek and Cyrillic characters. Bah also added a few variant

Arev Sans is quite readable, with large x-height, "open letters",
wide spacing, and thick stems. The style is very similar to the
