The Typeface Package v0.1 (2012/05/28) Prerelease - release for review
======================================================================
The typeface package provides a relatively easy-to-use facility for
setting up default roman, sans serif, typewriter, math, symbols and
lining/text figures Type1 fonts in LaTeX documents. Its purpose is to
make it easy to choose, mix and match fonts from among the main Type1
font sets available at CTAN. Other Type1 fonts can be readily
incorporated into typeface package management by modifying the provided
configuration file.
Ignoring the typographic dubiousness of this example, the following code
will initialise \rmdefault to the light, old style figures variant of KP
Fonts, \sfdefault to Helvetica, and \ttdefault to Luxi Mono typewriter.
Math fonts will be initialised to Math Design with Charter text. In the
process, math fonts and Helvetica will be automatically scaled to the
ex-height of KP Fonts. Luxi Mono will be scaled to 90% of its design
size.

typeface – Select a balanced set of fonts
The package provides the means of establishing a consistent set of fonts for use in a LaTeX document. It allows mixing and matching the Type 1 font sets available on the archive (and it may be extended, via its configuration file, to support other fonts).
Font-set definition takes the form of a set of options that are read when the package is loaded: for each typographic category (main body font, sans-serif font, monospace font, mathematics fonts, text figures, and so on), a font or a transformation is given in those options.
The approach enables the user to remember their own configurations (as a single command) and to borrow configurations that other users have developed.
The present release is designated “for review”.
