Announcement text:
LaTeX Support For Futura Fonts From Adobe As Used By No Starch Press Version 1.0a 2008/02/17 This package provides metric files and LaTeX support for Futura fonts from Adobe. It has everything you need to typeset in this font - except the font itself, of course. There are several versions of the fonts available, different by the version year. This package provides support for fonts as used by No Starch Press, http://www.nostarch.com. To prevent a clash with support of a newer version by W. A. Schmidt, the fontname |pfv| is used instead of the standard |pfu|.
This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/psfonts/adobe/futurans . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/futurans (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
