[comp.fonts] Macintosh - Tex - Postscript fonts

schiller@srcws1.src.sony.co.jp (Christoph SCHILLER) (04/26/91)

I am writing a long scientific text, with a lots of formulas,
using TeX and a macintosh. I would like to use postscript fonts 
instead of cmr fonts.

So I am looking for a font family which includes roman italic
SLANTED bold and TeX-compatible math symbols. 
I know similar questions pop up every now and then, so I am sorry
if this is not an original question.

Where can on buy (and at what price) and/or where can one 
ftp such postscript fonts? What fontfamilies are available ?

If there is interest, I'll post a summary to the net.

Thank you in advance,

  Christoph Schiller

Don't pay for one!

Change
	/Times-Roman findfont 12 scalefont setfont
to
	/Times-Roman findfont 12 scalefont [1 0 .3 1 0 0] makefont setfont
(you might want to play with the .3, I did it by eye in psh...)

This will give you a slanted version of Times Roman...
