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.

Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the
mathastext
package.
Summary description: Use the text font in math mode
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* A new command sets up the amount of space to be automatically
inserted before the derivative glyph (useful when using an
upright font).
* The scope of the math alphabets has been extended to apply
to the non-alphabetical characters, and also to operator
names. In usual math mode $mathbf{(sin(n!)<cos(x)?)}$
changes only the font for n and x. With mathastext and if
not told otherwise, /everything/ in the formula above
will respond to mathbf (and the automatic spaces are left
untouched).
* The documentation has been improved. The package file is
self-extracting from the dtx, and four additional test files
are also produced during `latex mathastext.dtx'.
