Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the
mathastext
package.
Summary description: Use the text font in math mode
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1.15f [2012/10/25]
* $, #, &, and \% had been re-defined by mathastext since its
inception in a rather strange (but working) way, which
could cause surprises to other packages. Fixed.
* The subdued mechanism for the math alphabets is implemented
in a simpler and more efficient manner than in 1.15e.
* The `defaultxx' options act a bit differently, and are more
useful in case of a `too many math alphabets' situation.
* Various improvements in the documentation.
* General clean up and better commenting of the source code.
