Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the mathastext package. Version number: 1.3c License type: lppl Summary description: Use the text font in math mode Announcement text: -- 1.3c [2013/12/14] * added a starred variant to \MTversion which tells mathastext to only do the math set-up and not modify the text fonts. * added second optional version name argument to \Mathastext and to \MTDeclareVersion, to transfer settings for things not otherwise changed by mathastext from a math version to the one declared. This is mainly for symbols and large symbols to be the bold ones when the user sets up the series of a mathastextified font to be bold in a mathastext-declared version. -- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mathastext/ More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/mathastext We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the mathastext package. Version number: 1.3a License type: lppl Summary description: Use the text font in math mode Announcement text: -- 1.3a [2013/09/04] The command \MTsetmathskips from recent release 1.3 is more flexible (e.g. for use in an \@for loop): its first argument may be a macro (or any expandable code) giving the letter. The amsmath macro \resetMathstrut@ is replaced only when strictly necessary (i.e. if the user makes the parentheses mathematically active via \MTnonlettersobeymathxx). Again some improvements in the documentation. -- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mathastext More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/mathastext We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

CTAN update: mathastext
the daemon reported:
The following information was provided by the package's contributor.
Name of contribution: mathastext
Author's name: Jean-François Burnol
Author's email: j...@free.fr
Package version: 1.3
Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/mathastext/
Summary description: Use the text font in math mode
License type: lppl
Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
--
1.3 [2013/09/02]
The main change is the command \MTsetmathskips which allows to
specify, on a letter by letter basis, extra skips to be
automatically inserted before and after each occurence of the
given letter in math mode. This allows to fine tune the use of
a given text font. A random example:
\MTsetmathskips{x}{0.4mu}{0.2mu}
Also, the functionality of the package under lualatex is now
at the same level as under xelatex; requires the lualatex as
distributed with TL2013 or later.
The documentation is better hyperlinked.

CTAN Update: mathastext
Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the mathastext package. Summary description: Use the text font in math mode License type: lppl Announcement text: -- 1.2e [2013/01/10] This version should be the last one in the 1.2 series as it seems to correct most of the main problems which were introduced with the massive use of mathematically active characters in versions 1.2 and 1.2b. * It is indeed a thorny point when one wants to modify only in math mode how an active character acts, without breaking things. The package now does that /only/ if the activation appears to originate in the Babel system, as it is then possible to modify appropriately the Babel macros \user@activechar and \normal@charchar. The relevant issues are discussed in section 2.10 of the user manual, in the test file testmathastextalphabets.tex, and in the source code comments to the macro \mst@mathactivate. The inherent incompatibility of Babel with packages having made mathematically active the characters itself makes document active is circumvented by this interference of mathastext. A generally applicable Babel patch could be derived from the method used by mathastext. * The technique of mathematical activation is maintained only for the characters which are not catcode active (at the entrance in math mode, as mathastext does all its activation job at everymath and everydisplay). * Sadly, the feature of added italic corrections introduced in version 1.2b did not behave as described in the user manual, due to forgotten group braces. Fixed. * The command \MTlowerast from the user manual of v1.2d was not the one implemented in the source code. Fixed. * The test files automatically extracted from a latex run on the dtx file have been revised and extended. * The code is better documented. -- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mathastext .

CTAN Update: mathastext
Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the mathastext package. Summary description: Use the text font in math mode License type: lppl Announcement text: -- 1.2d [2013/01/02] * an incompatibility with amsmath (its macro \resetMathstrut@), exists since version 1.2 of the package. This is fixed here. * various improvements in dealing with the asterisk and in the mechanism of letting non-letter symbols obey the math alphabet commands. * documentation extended and improved. * mathastext now inserts automatically after all (latin) letters in math mode their italic corrections, if the font used is upright (sic). This improves the spacings for the positioning of subscripts. The feature is de-activated inside the math alphabets commands (apart from \mathnormal), so as to not prohibit the formation of ligatures, * the documentation has been extended to explain in detail the issues which are relevant to the new feature of added italic corrections, * version 1.2 had some bad bugs when confronted to active characters. This is corrected and additionally \MTnonletters- -donotobeymathxx is made the default, as the user input is too much constrained in its absence. * a less fatal, but still annoying, typo had made the dot in 1.2 of type \mathpunct rather than \mathord * the inner namespace has been rationalized a bit. -- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mathastext/ .

CTAN Update mathastext
Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the
mathastext
package.
Summary description: Use the text font in math mode
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
--
* A new command sets up the amount of space to be automatically
inserted before the derivative glyph (useful when using an
upright font).
* The scope of the math alphabets has been extended to apply
to the non-alphabetical characters, and also to operator
names. In usual math mode $\mathbf{(\sin(n!)\cos(x)?)}$
changes only the font for n and x. With mathastext and if
not told otherwise, /everything/ in the formula above
will respond to \mathbf (and the automatic spaces are left
untouched).
* The documentation has been improved. The package file is
self-extracting from the dtx, and four additional test files
are also produced during `latex mathastext.dtx'.

CTAN update: mathastext
the daemon told me: The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: mathastext Author's name: Jean-François Burnol Package version: 1.15c Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/mathastext Summary description: Use the text font in simple mathematics License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: -- Optimal typographical results for documents containing mathematical symbols can only be hoped for with math fonts specifically designed to match a given text typeface. Although the list of freely available math fonts (alongside the Computer Modern and AMS extension fonts) is slowly expanding (fourier, kpfonts, mathdesign, pxfonts, txfonts, and others...) it remains limited, and the situation is even worse with Unicode fonts (XeTeX/LuaTeX). So if you can't find a math font which fits well with your favorite text font, and wish to still be able to typeset mathematical documents, perhaps not of the highest typographical quality, but at least not subjected to obvious visual incompatibi- -lities between your text font and the math fonts, try out mathastext: it will simply use the text font also for the math! New with 1.15c: + it is now possible to use multiple distinct LGR encoded fonts for the Greek letters in math mode, one for each math version. + improved documentation.

On Thu, 27 Sep 2012 Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the mathastext package. Summary description: Use the text font in simple mathematics License type: lppl Announcement text: -- The mathastext package automatically (or only locally) changes the document fonts used in math mode for letters and digits (and a few other punctuation and symbol signs) to replace them by the font used for the text. Thus, the package makes it possible to use a quite arbitrary font without worrying too much that it does not have specially designed accompanying math fonts. Also, mathastext provides a simple mechanism in order to use more than one math-as-text font in the same document. + new with 1.15: with the `subdued' option it is possible to let the `mathastextification' act locally in the document. + new with 1.15b: some backward incompatibility introduced by a `feature' of 1.15 is fixed, and the documentation is made clearer. -- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mathastext .
