Italic font as default for FrameMath

2009-05-17 Thread Winfried Schepers
Dear all,

I am trying to have an italic default font for greek characters in 
FrameMath of FM8 Windows. I modified mathchar.cfg, but only the font 
family changed, not the angle. I tried the following, using Times font 
for simplicity:

MetaFamily Symbol
   alpha   61 Times Italic 
  ...


and also

MetaFamily Symbol
   alpha   61 Times Italic Regular
  ...


Any ideas how to get the italic font by default?

Another idea I had is to use the greek characters within the Times New 
Roman font, but how to assign the 4-digit hex character codes to the 
FrameMath elements in mathchar.cfg? By default 4 digits are interpreted 
as two 2-digit numbers, and two characters are displayed accordingly.

I know that I could use FrameMath Reference pages, but for some reasons 
I prefer to enforce the italic font for equations on a system level 
rather than on document level.

Best regards,
