I agree.

I must confess that I was not aware of this package. Apparently the author
is still not sure whether it should be published in CTAN. This does not
mean that it will not do the job but the fact that it is not on CTAN
prevents me from feeling too bad because I did not know the package...

The HVmath fonts from MicroPress should work but I do not own them so I
never tested it. The problem with arev should be something which can be
solved. I am wondering why this problem arises with arev, but not with
other fonts where such small differences could also arise...

Best regards,
Gert
