the daemon told me:
The following information was provided by the package's contributor.
Name of contribution: mathastext Author's name: Jean-François Burnol Package version: 1.15c Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/mathastext Summary description: Use the text font in simple mathematics License type: lppl
Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
Optimal typographical results for documents containing mathematical symbols can only be hoped for with math fonts specifically designed to match a given text typeface. Although the list of freely available math fonts (alongside the Computer Modern and AMS extension fonts) is slowly expanding (fourier, kpfonts, mathdesign, pxfonts, txfonts, and others...) it remains limited, and the situation is even worse with Unicode fonts (XeTeX/LuaTeX). So if you can't find a math font which fits well with your favorite text font, and wish to still be able to typeset mathematical documents, perhaps not of the highest typographical quality, but at least not subjected to obvious visual incompatibi- -lities between your text font and the math fonts, try out mathastext: it will simply use the text font also for the math!
New with 1.15c:
- it is now possible to use multiple distinct LGR encoded
fonts for the Greek letters in math mode, one for each math version.
- improved documentation.
New with 1.15:
- with the subdued option the action of mathastext can be
limited to a portion of your document.
thanks for the upload; i've installed the new version, and updated the catalogue repository.
