Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the

mathastext

package.

Summary description: Use the text font in math mode License type: lppl

Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

1.2d [2013/01/02]

* an incompatibility with amsmath (its macro esetMathstrut@), exists since version 1.2 of the package. This is fixed here.

* various improvements in dealing with the asterisk and in the mechanism of letting non-letter symbols obey the math alphabet commands.

* documentation extended and improved.

* mathastext now inserts automatically after all (latin) letters in math mode their italic corrections, if the font used is upright (sic). This improves the spacings for the positioning of subscripts. The feature is de-activated inside the math alphabets commands (apart from mathnormal), so as to not prohibit the formation of ligatures,

* the documentation has been extended to explain in detail the issues which are relevant to the new feature of added italic corrections,

* version 1.2 had some bad bugs when confronted to active characters. This is corrected and additionally MTnonletters- -donotobeymathxx is made the default, as the user input is too much constrained in its absence.

* a less fatal, but still annoying, typo had made the dot in 1.2 of type mathpunct rather than mathord

* the inner namespace has been rationalized a bit.
