Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the
mathastext
package.
Summary description: Use the text font in math mode
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* A new command sets up the amount of space to be automatically
inserted before the derivative glyph (useful when using an
upright font).
* The scope of the math alphabets has been extended to apply
to the non-alphabetical characters, and also to operator
names. In usual math mode $mathbf{(sin(n!)<cos(x)?)}$
changes only the font for n and x. With mathastext and if
not told otherwise, /everything/ in the formula above
will respond to mathbf (and the automatic spaces are left
untouched).
* The documentation has been improved. The package file is
self-extracting from the dtx, and four additional test files
are also produced during `latex mathastext.dtx'.
