I've recently discovered that one of the NeXTs in our research group has a
font on it called Adobe Mathematical Pi, which is actually a set of four
fonts containing a huge collection of mathematical symbols. I would like to
be able to use this font occasionally in TeX documents, both because it's
postscript, and because it contains several characters which I would like
to use and no satisfactory alternatives for (in particular, the "curly script
Dee, Ell and Aitch" used in functional integrals). Unfortunately, the
encoding scheme of the four fonts is rather unusual, with the curly script
letters, in particular, being mapped into MathPiTwo in only a semblance of
order. I'm able to access the individual characters I most want through the
use of \def{} or \mathchar"xxxx, but would like to use the whole font
family without having to go through this for each character. Has anyone
written (or know of) a set of macros for using AdobeMathPi in TeX?
Any help would be appreciated.
Another somewhat related question: I'm planning to buy a copy of the
Lucida text/math fonts from Y & Y. Does anyone have any opinions to offer
on these Type 1 Postscript fonts?
Thanks in advance --- tom
