This uses the Computer Modern sans. So if I understand things correctly, the various arguments are: [palatino]: the typeface being defined (or modified in this case) [ss]: the part of the typeface being defined (the \ss name) [sans]: refers to a part of the "modern" typeface [modern]: pick the "sans" part of the this typeface [default]: what's this bit? [encoding]: the encoding to use [rscale]: a scaling adjustment to make up for CM's smaller x-size. Is that the general idea?
