The "symbol" font is not enough. We would really like something that has all the symbols that the TeX fonts do. since TeX has what you want, bite the bullet and use Computer Modern Roman maths fonts. Blue Sky Research will sell you the fonts in Adobe Type 1 format (or maybe its still Type 3) which you will presumably be able to use with your Mac applications OK. Have you looked at the Lucida Maths fonts? They consciously set out to cover the same field as TeX's maths fonts Sebastian -- Sebastian Rahtz S.Rahtz@uk.ac.soton.ecs (JANET) Computer Science S.Rahtz@ecs.soton.ac.uk (Bitnet) Southampton S09 5NH, UK S.Rahtz@sot-ecs.uucp (uucp)
