%
%    \section{Introduction}
%
%    The fonts va and vacal provide glyphs for producing a handwritten
%    writing. This package provides means to use those fonts.
%
%
%    \section{Usage}
%
%    This file can be used as a package by placing its name
%    in the argument of |\usepackage|. Afterwards the font families va
%    and vacal are defined. This could also have been done by providing two
%    font definition files.
%
%    The font definitions in this file scale down the original fonts to
%    \LaTeX{} choose the right baselineskip. The original size of the va
%    fonts can be selected with the commands |\Large\va| or |\Large\vacal|.
%
%
%    \DescribeMacro{\va}
%    The command |\va| changes the current font family to va and the
%    encoding to T1. Usually this should be used in a \TeX{} group only.
%
%    \DescribeMacro{\textva}
%    The command |\textva| typesets its argument in the va font.
%
%    \DescribeMacro{\vacal}
%    The command |\vacal| changes the current font family to vacal and the
%    encoding to T1. Usually this should be used in a \TeX{} group only.
%
%    \DescribeMacro{\textvacal}
%    The command |\textvacal| typesets its argument in the vacal font.
%
%    \StopEventually{}
%
%
%    \section{Implementation}
%
%
%    First we declare a new font family for the va font.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareFontFamily{T1}{va}{}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    This font is only available in the normal shape. Here we can get the
%    desired font by (silently) scaling the only present va14. Since the
%    design size is 14 we have to scale down the font.
% 
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareFontShape{T1}{va}{m}{n}{<->s*[0.7]va14}{}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    Next we do the same things for the font family vacal.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareFontFamily{T1}{vacal}{}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    This font is only available in the normal shape. Here we can get the
%    desired font by (silently) scaling the only present vacal14. Since the
%    design size is 14 we have to scale down the font.
% 
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareFontShape{T1}{vacal}{m}{n}{<->s*[0.7]vacal14}{}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    Now we define font changing commands.
% 
%    \begin{macro}{\va}
%    The macro |\va| selects the va family.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareRobustCommand\va{%
  \fontfamily{va}%
  \fontencoding{T1}%
  \selectfont}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    \end{macro}
%
%    \begin{macro}{\textva}
%    The macro |\textva| typesets its argument in the va font.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand\textva[1]{\begingroup\va #1\endgroup}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    \end{macro}
%
%    \begin{macro}{\vacal}
%    The macro |\vacal| selects the vacal family.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareRobustCommand\vacal{%
  \fontfamily{vacal}%
  \fontencoding{T1}%
  \selectfont}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    \end{macro}
%
%    \begin{macro}{\textva}
%    The macro |\textvacal| typesets its argument in the vacal font.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand\textvacal[1]{\begingroup\vacal #1\endgroup}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    \end{macro}
%
% \Finale
