Import geoslab703-ttf package from Rui-Xiang Guo in pkg/17828.
This package installs two free TrueType fonts, they are useful for web viewing. The typeface is Geometric Slabserif 703, which is Bitstream's version of Memphis a typeface designed in 1930 by Rudolph Weiss. While it may seem odd that a typeface designed 65 years ago would look good on-screen today, the reason has to do with the shape of the letterforms themselves. They have a simple, geometric shape, and their serifs (the small protrusions from the ends of the letter) are in the "slab" family, which means they, too, are simple. The "x-height" (the height of the lowercase letter "x") is relatively large, but not so large that it makes reading difficult in the web where there is little real control over leading (the space between the lines). Bitstream is supplying these typefaces to help you see the importance of type on the web. Once you see how different web pages can look just by changing the typeface, and how much easier they can be to read, you'll see the importance of typographic choice on the web.
