The Marvosym Font Package

The MarVoSym Font Package
Thomas Henlich (thomas@henlich.de)
May 12, 2006
This document describes how to use the Martin Vogel’s Symbols font in your
LATEX documents. The font is a PS font, so you need a PS printer or ghostscript.
Alternatively, you can use pdflatex to produce a PDF file. The font provides
the “official” Euro currency symbol, Euro symbols which go well with the Times
/ Helvetica / Courier fonts, warning and safety-related symbols, astronomy sym-
bols, zodiac signs and many others.
1 Installation
Note: If the MarVoSym package came as part of your TEX distribution, you can skip this step.
In the following, replace $TEXMF with your actual texmf directory, e. g. /usr/share/texmf.
• Copy marvosym.pfb into a directory where dvips can find it, e. g. $TEXMF/fonts/
type1/public/marvosym/.
• Copy umvs.tfm into a directory where TEX will find it, e. g. $TEXMF/fonts/tfm/
public/marvosym/.
• Copy marvosym.map into a directory where dvips (and pdflatex, if you want to use
that as well) will find it, e. g. $TEXMF/dvips/marvosym/.
• Copy marvosym.sty and umvs.fd to a TEX input directory, e. g. $TEXMF/tex/
latex/marvosym/.
• Optionally copy marvosym.afm into an afm-directory, e. g. $TEXMF/fonts/afm/
public/marvosym/ (TEX doesn’t need this file.)
2 Usage
In your document’s preamble, type \usepackage{marvosym}. To insert a symbol, use a
macro as described in the next section. The symbol will appear in the currently selected font
size. To get a bigger symbol, use a size-changing command like
{\small\Smiley}{\Large\Smiley}{\LARGE\Smiley}: ©©©

• Hey, \Ecommerce is not really a currency symbol, you might say. But it has something
to do with money, so there you go. . .
• The \Denarius symbol is also known as the correction sign “Deleatur”.
• \EUR is the normal (natural) width Euro symbol. \EURdig has “special” metrics, so
it has the same width as the digits (of this font). (To line up properly in tables etc.)

4 Authors
The font was designed by Martin Vogel. See http://www.marvosym.de/.
The macros and this documentation were written by Thomas Henlich, who also converted
the font to a Type 1 font. The latter involved running ttf2pt1 and doing some manual fixes
afterwards.
5 History

font (umvs). Rewrote style file. Added fd file.

new glyphs. Removed: \Kross, \Snowflake, \Circles, \Womanside,
