[comp.fonts] Looking for a mathematics PS font

nolan@tssi.UUCP (Michael Nolan) (05/14/91)

Is there a Mac Postscript type 1 font that has mathematics symbols, specifically
set operators (intersection, union, etc.)?

I've seen some bitmapped math fonts, but would prefer a Postscript Type 1 
font, so that I can use ATM and a DeskWriter.

Yes, there are several. First off all Adobe has its (rather new) font package
#158 - Mathematical Pi- which will serve the needs of most mathematicians.

Furthermore, Blue Sky Research sells PostScript versions of the TeX
fonts with a decent number of mathematical symbols.

And, to top things of, today a salesman of Monotype at a Dutch exposition
for Printers `Grafivak' showed me an amazing 9 fonts full of mathematical and
other scientific symbols with (almost) anything one could whish.

Adobe has a new Mathematical font set. Call them & get a FONT&
FUNCTION. Their number has been posted numerous times.
