paratype – LaTeX support for free fonts by ParaType
The package offers LaTeX support for the fonts PT Sans, PT Serif and PT Mono developed by ParaType for the project “Public Types of Russian Federation”, and released under an open user license.
The fonts themselves are provided in both the TrueType and Type 1 formats, both created by ParaType). The fonts provide encodings OT1, T1, IL2, TS1, T2* and X2.
The package provides a convenient replacement of the two packages ptsans and ptserif.
