This is a copy of the fonts which URW has made available under the GNU General Public License, installed with fontinst 1.6 for use with LaTeX2e. The afm and pfa files have been taken from CTAN/fonts/urw/ and included in this bundle. It provides the following fonts: URWAntiquaT-RegularCondensed URWGroteskT-Bold NimbusRomanNo9L-Regular NimbusSansL-Regular in upright, slanted, small caps and slanted small caps versions (with a little cheating, however), in OT1, T1, 8r and OT4 encodings. NimbusRomanNo9L-Regular and NimbusSansL-Regular are close to Adobe Times Roman and Adobe Helvetica, respectively. The most interesting is URWGroteskT-Bold which, being extremely bold, is useful for decorative work, titling etc. INSTALLATION Assuming your TeX conforms with the TDS: 1) move the three tfm directories from ./tfm/ to $TEXMF/fonts/tfm/urw/ 2) move the three vf directories from ./vf/ to $TEXMF/fonts/vf/urw/ 3) move the three afm directories from ./afm/ to $TEXMF/fonts/afm/urw/ 4) move the three pfa directories from ./pfa/ to $TEXMF/fonts/type1/urw/ 5) move the *.fd and *.sty files from ./latex2e/ to $TEXMF/tex/latex/urw/ 6) add the contents of ./fontname/urw.map to $TEXMF/fontname/urw.map 7) add the contents of ./dvips/psfonts.map to $TEXMF/dvips/misc/psfonts.map 8) texhash In case you don't use the (local) OT4 encoding, you may delete all the files: *8p.vf, *8p.tfm and ot4*.fd. USAGE The package urw.sty provides the following font declarations and commands: \antiquafamily \textantiqua{ } \grotesqfamily \textgrotesq{ } \nimbusfamily \textnimbus{ } \nimbussffamily \textnimbussf{ } which activate the desired font families. Antiqua, nimbus and nimbussf are available only in medium (m) series, grotesq --- only in bold (b) series. The available shapes are: \upshape regular \itshape actually a slanted (oblique) shape \scshape small caps \slshape slanted small caps Additionally there are three styles: antiqua.sty, grotesq.sty and nimbus.sty (the last one for both regular and sans serif fonts) that (attempt to) replace the default roman (and sans serif in case of nimbus.sty) font families with the new ones. Since only the small number of series/shape combinations are available, they are not very useful, however.
