 arev

font package.

Location on CTAN: /fonts/arev
Summary description: Type 1 fonts, virtual fonts, and LaTeX support files for Arev Sans
License type: lppl

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The package arev provides Type 1 fonts, virtual fonts, and LaTeX packages 
for using Arev Sans for both text and mathematics. 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.
