Dear CTAN team,

you have included the LaTeX packages eurosans, eurofont 
and europs; however, the tfm and map files for the free 
Adobe Euro fonts are missing.  

It would have been easy to provide the metrics, include 
the file zpeu.map into the default map files for dvips and 
pdfTeX, and let the documentations say:  

  "TeXLive is prepared for using the Adobe Euro Fonts.
  Just download them for free,  rename them according 
  to the KB scheme and put them into the directory
  texmf/fonts/type1/adobe/euro."  

After all, you have provided tfm's, vf's and map files for 
lots of commercial fonts most TeX users cannot afford or 
will never need...

-- 
best wishes

Walter
