It doesn't work properly as a text font. The results are akin to what one gets using the math Greek to typeset Plato. On the topic of sources, the AMS _is_ releasing sources. The official release date is July 1, but their have been some technical difficulties getting them onto the FTP machine. They will also be available from ymir.claremont.edu in subdirectories of [tex.mf.ams]. If everything is in place at the AMS, I'll have them as soon as they do. If not, things will have to wait until they get their act together (incidentally, the MF sources for the Euler fonts are kind of humourous). -dh --- Don Hosek TeX, LaTeX, and Metafont Consulting and dhosek@ymir.claremont.edu production work.
