verdana – Macros and metrics for using Verdana with LaTeX
The package provides a T1-encoded wrapper for using the Verdana (sans-serif) font with pdfLaTeX. The TrueType files are not part of the package; if they are not provided with your operating system, you may download them (address in the documentation).
Not all distributions of the fonts offer the f-ligatures (fi, ff and fl) common in TeX-related fonts; the package has an option to avoid usage of such ligatures.
