I haven't found sans-serif or monospaced fonts in their distribution. Maybe I don't know where to look. I sent an email to the STIX website asking about them, but havent heard back from them. I tried opening the fonts in fontforge, and there are a lot of missing glyphs. This is a beta release for the STIX fonts, and given how long it took to release and the number of self imposed deadlines that came and went, I wouldnt be surprised if there were some major issues that will need to be worked out. There is supposed to be a package for using STIX with latex, which they claim will be out by the end of the year, as will the final font release. Maybe we should start a pool! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
