the ZIP archive file eulervm-30.zip has been uploaded to the /incoming directory at dante.ctan.org. Please, unpack it into the directory

fonts/eulervm

Doing so will update all files in this directory and in the subdirectories tfm/, vf/ and fontinst/, and add also some new files (in fontinst/).

This is version 3.0 of the Virtual Euler Math fonts and the related LaTeX macros.

From the change log:

• The symbols leq and geq now show the shape that is

preferred by DEK in conjunction with the Euler fonts. (Credits to Frank Mittelbach for pointing me to this!) The width of the symbols is unchanged.

• The package option [small] now acts on the AMS fonts,

too, so there are no more restrictions affecting the usage of amssymb.sty in conjunction with the Euler fonts.

• Slightly changed mapping of font sizes to design sizes

used. Particularly, when a math font with a size of 8pt is requested, we are now going to scale up a 7pt font, rather than scaling down a 10pt one. This should improve the apprearance of documents with a normal font size of 11pt, where 8pt is used for super- and subscripts. Strictly speaking, this is an incompatible change, but I hope that the amount of practical problems is tolerable, as compared with the improvement.

• Fixed Makefile so as not to install the auto-generated FD

files, which are lacking the code for the [small] option.

• VFs and TFMs were now generated using the latest version of

fontinst. As a result, the font metrics have changed slightly, because of the improved rounding algorithm. This may cause problems when procesing existing DVI files, but the metrics are definitely correct now.

Thanks for the update, I installed it as requested.
