A while ago I was struggling with using Postscript fonts in my TeX
documents. With the acquisition of the Tom Rokicki's dvips program
most of my problems vanished. One "problem" that did not go away was
that none of the PostScript fonts that I have access to really go
with the Computer Modern math fonts. I have heard rumors that Adobe
has a font called Lucida Math that includes enough symbols to have a
complete non-Computer Modern font setup for TeX. So...
1. If anyone has used the Lucida/Lucida Math fonts for TeX I
would like to know how they fared.
2. Are there any other sources of fonts besides Adobe that are
useful in the TeX environment (perhaps Bitstream or ZSoft)?
Adobe Postscript fonts are not cheap.
3. The list price for Adobe Postscript fonts seem rather high. For
example, the Lucida Roman/Lucida Math fonts cost $230.
Are there any sources of Adobe PS fonts cheaper than direct from
Adobe?
Thanks, Adam H. Lewenberg
