(description
"The PSNFSS collection includes a set of files that provide a complete
working setup of the LaTeX font selection scheme (NFSS2) for use with common
-PostScript fonts. It covers the so-called \"Base\" fonts (which are built
-into any Level 2 PostScript printing device and the Ghostscript interpreter)
-and a number of free fonts. It provides font definition files, macros and
-font metrics. The bundle as a whole is part of the LaTeX required set of
-packages.")
+PostScript fonts. The base set of text fonts covered by PSNFSS includes the
+AvantGarde, Bookman, Courier, Helvetica, New Century Schoolbook, Palatino,
+Symbol, Times Roman and Zapf Dingbats fonts. In addition, the fonts Bitstream
+Charter and Adobe Utopia are covered. Separate packages are provided to load
+each font for use as the main text font. The package @code{helvet} allows
+Helvetica to be loaded with its size scaled to something more appropriate for
+use as a Sans-Serif font to match Times, while @code{pifont} provides the
+means to select single glyphs from symbol fonts. The bundle as a whole is
+part of the LaTeX required set of packages.")
