In the font definition files was support for it but not in the style files. It was caused by creating simpler style files than those created by autoinst from fontools (they were created because the original files required the package fontenc with all supported encodings -- which might be a problem). 2) Style files do not change neither familydefault nor fdefault. There are font substitutions in the font definition files now. Both suggested by Ricard Torres. Used his patches (based on Walter Schmidt's macros) for PTSans.sty and T1PTSans-TLF.fd.

CTAN Update: mathastext
by CTAN Announcements 01 Feb '11

01 Feb '11

On Tue, 1 Feb 2011 Jean-Francois Burnol submitted an update of the mathastext package to CTAN. Summary description: Use the text font in simple mathematics License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The mathastext package propagates the document text font to mathematical mode, for the letters of the Latin alphabet and, optionally, other characters in the font. Thus it makes possible (for a document with simple mathematics) to use a quite arbitrary text font without worrying too much that no specially designed accompanying maths fonts are available. The package also offers a simple mechanism for using many different choices of (text hence, now, math) font in the same document. Of course, using one font for two purposes helps produce smaller PDF files. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mathastext/ .
