We have the new AMS Euler fonts on our system and I have been eager
to use them. I know how to change the text font, but I can't find
anything about changing the math font. Does anyone know how this is
done? Is there any special magic that needs to be done if I want
to do it in LaTeX?

There is an article in a back issue of TUGboat concerning these macros, which were used to produce Concrete Mathematics. It should be relatively straightforward to modify lfonts.tex to make LaTeX use these fonts. In fact, the Mathematica Journal, which I produce for Addison-Wesley, uses the Euler fonts. The macro package is a variant of LaTeX.

Saying that this is "relatively straightforward" is a relative statement at best --- I certainly see nothing straightforward about it! But rescue is at hand: If you move to the Mittelbach/Sch\"opf font selection scheme then this kind of change really does become quite easy. And there is even a concrete.sty file included (if my memory serves me right?) which you can use for a starting point. - Harald Hanche-Olsen <hanche@imf.unit.no> Division of Mathematical Sciences The Norwegian Institute of Technology N-7034 Trondheim, NORWAY

Does anyone have a LaTeX style file that redefines the math fonts to use the Euler fonts? It looks like it would require more than just redefining the fonts due to the fact that some of the Euler fonts are incomplete. Chris Paris cap@cs.cmu.edu

With the Mittelbach & Schoepf font selection scheme, you can use concrete.sty (Euler is too heavy for use with CM text fonts, so Concrete is recommended for the text fonts). The files are available from ymir.claremont.edu in [anonymous.tex.inputs.latex-mainz]. See fontsel.readme for details of which files are necessary. -dh -- Don Hosek // Quixote Digital Typography 714-625-0147 On contract to Beckman Instruments 714-961-4562
