The font set consists of the ‘LaserWriter 35’ set (originally ‘freely available’ because embedded in PostScript printers), and a variety of other free fonts, together with some additions. Note that while many of the fonts are available in PostScript (and other) printers, most publishers require fonts <em>embedded</em> in documents, which requires that you have the fonts in your <span class="t-logo">T<span class="e">e</span>X</span> system. Fortunately, there are free versions of the fonts from URW (available in the <a href="/pkg/urw-base35">URW base5</a> bundle). </p> <p> The base set of text fonts covered by PSNFSS are: AvantGarde, Bookman, Courier, Helvetica, New Century Schoolbook, Palatino, Symbol, Times Roman and Zapf Dingbats. In addition, the fonts <a href="/pkg/charter">Bitstream Charter</a> and <a href="/pkg/utopia">Adobe Utopia</a> are covered (those fonts were contributed to the Public Domain by their commercial foundries). </p> <p> Separate packages are provided to load each font for use as main text font. The packages <a href="/pkg/helvet">helvet</a> (which allows Helvetica to be loaded with its size scaled to something more nearly appropriate for its use as a Sans-Serif font to match Times) and <a href="/pkg/pifont">pifont</a> (which provides the means to select single glyphs from symbol fonts) are tailored to special requirements of their fonts. </p> <p> Mathematics are covered by the <a href="/pkg/mathptmx">mathptmx</a> package, which constructs passable mathematics from a combination of Times Roman, Symbol and some glyphs from Computer Modern, and by <a href="/pkg/mathpazo">Pazo Math</a> (optionally extended with the <a href="/pkg/fpl">fpl</a> small-caps and old-style figures fonts) which uses Palatino as base font, with the mathpazo fonts. </p> <p> The bundle as a whole is part of the <a href="/pkg/required"><span class="t-logo">L<span class="a">a</span>T<span class="e">e</span>X</span> ‘required’</a> set of packages. </p></p> <table class="entry"> <tr><td>Sources</td><td><a href="/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/psnfss"><code>/macros/latex/required/psnfss</code></a></td></tr> <tr><td>Documentation</td><td><div class="d-icon-readme" title="Read Me file"><a href="https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/required/psnfss/README" class="doc-readme">README</a></div><div class="d-icon-pdf" title="Portable Document Format"><a href="http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/required/psnfss/psnfss2e.pdf" class="doc-filetype.pdf">Package documentation</a></div></td></tr> <tr><td>Version</td><td>9.3 </td></tr> <tr><td>Licenses</td><td><a href="/license/lppl">The <span class="t-logo">L<span class="a">a</span>T<span class="e">e</span>X</span> Project Public License</a><br /></td></tr> <tr><td>Copyright</td><td>1995–2020 Sebastian Rahtz, Walter Schmidt<br /></td></tr> <tr><td>Maintainer</td><td><a href="/author/harcombe">Keiran Harcombe</a><br /><a href="/author/latex">The <span class="t-logo">L<span class="a">a</span>T<span class="e">e</span>X</span> Project Team</a><br /><a href="/author/rahtz">Sebastian Rahtz (deceased)</a><br /><a href="/author/schmidt">Walter A.
