dejavu – LaTeX support for the DejaVu fonts
The package contains LaTeX support for the DejaVu fonts, which are derived from the Vera fonts but contain more characters and styles.
The fonts are included in the original TrueType format, and in converted Type 1 format.
The (currently) supported encodings are: OT1, T1, IL2, TS1, T2*, X2, QX, and LGR.
The package doesn't (currently) support mathematics. More encodings and/or features are expected.
