An alternative interface to the EC Sans Serif boldface fonts
------------------------------------------------------------
The EC (T1, Cork) encoded versions of the `CM Sans Serif
boldface extended' fonts differ considerably from the
traditionally (OT1) encoded ones:
At large sizes, > 10pt, they have thinner strokes and are
much wider. At 25pt they are hardly to be recognized as
being `boldface'.
The LaTeX package `cmsd' can solve this problem: Using this
package will---as much as possible---make these T1 fonts
look like the traditional ones did.
You do *not* need any new fonts; the package just changes
the way LaTeX makes use of the current ones.
Using this package requires 3 files to be installed, i.e.
you must copy them to a directory where LaTeX searches for
its input files:
cmsd.sty
t1cmsd.fd
ts1cmsd.fd
If your LaTeX is older than from dec. 1996 AND your
operating system is Un*x, then you have to rename two of the
files:
t1cmsd.fd -> OT1cmsd.fd
ts1cmsd.fd -> TS1cmsd.fd
Then the package is to be loaded in the usual way:
\usepackage{cmsd}
Alternatively you may access the fonts directly via the
NFSS. The \fontfamly is `cmsd' (CM Sans Serif Display).
*** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING *** WARNING
The package is to be used in conjunction with T1 and TS1
fonts only, i.e. you must issue e.g.
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
before. The \fontfamily cmsd is defined for the T1 and TS1
encodings only.
In case you experience any problems or want to propose any
changes, please send a message to:
