Not sure -- Maybe we were talking about different things... I was talking about actually removing individual glyphs from the files -- that may result in much larger savings percentage-wise, but would be labor-intensive. Removing whole font files is quite easy (and I actually did remove the files that mathtext can't currently access). > I think we should make stix the default for mathtext.fontset once you > get these changes incorporated, presuming PDF and PS work as expected > -- is there any reason not to? No reason, other than the usual "hasn't been tested as much", and how that may affect the upcoming release. I anticipate more mis-mapped glyphs (I found some already, but I'm sure not all of them). But it won't get tested much unless people are nudged into using it ;) I'd encourage people on this list to kick it around a bit before we widen the audience. But don't let that hold back the release -- it's always hard to know when to press that big red button... ;) Cheers, Mike -- Michael Droettboom Science Software Branch Operations and Engineering Division Space Telescope Science Institute Operated by AURA for NASA ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
