+This package provides the `eulerpx' font, which started as a hybrid of multiple
+other font packages, notably eulervm and newpxmath. Its purpose is twofold:
+ (1) To use the eulervm symbols for greek and latin letters, but the newpxmath
+ font for braces and brackets, and the text font for digits and operators;
+ (2) To make it easy to change between a sans and serif font for the digits and
+ operators, so that the font can be used seamlessly in documents using both.
+This package was put together with the intent to use it with the Palatino and
+Optima fonts (newpxtext and classico), but may work with other combinations too.
+
+To use the package, add this to your preamble:
+
+ \usepackage{eulerpx}
+
+You may use the \sfmath and \rmmath macros to switch between serif and sans fonts
+for the digits and operators. For instance, if you use a KOMA-Script class, you
+can put the following in your preamble to switch all footnotes to a sans font:
+
+ \addtokomafont{footnote}{\sffamily\sfmath}
+
+Note that in contrast to the eulervm package, bold math characters are accessed
+through the \mathbf macro. If the option `utf8' is provided, the package will
+also declare the Greek unicode range; i.e., if the package is included with
+
+ \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
+ \usepackage[utf8]{eulerpx}
+
+then you may write your equations in the form $α+β$ instead of $\alpha+\beta$.

+History
+-------
+2016-10-01:
+ v0.1: Initial eulerpx package created
+
+
+
+Credits
+-------
+This package is based on the following existing packages:
+ - The package `newpxmath' is loaded as a base font, to provide parentheses,
+ brackets, relations, \mathbb, etc. This was done because in the authors'
+ opinion, the newpx brackets are much more aesthetic than the Euler ones.
+ - The Euler symbols for latin and greek letters are then loaded. This part
+ is based directly on the `eulervm' package, but it has been modified to
+ not use e.g. Euler digits and brackets. For maintainability, the support
+ for other encodings than T1 has been removed.
+ - The \sfmath implementation is inspired by the `sansmath' package. I have,
+ however, modified this such that the macro does not alter the font used
+ for mathematical symbols, only the font for operators and numerals. This
+ is useful for people that want to consistently use the Euler symbols in
+ *all* environments, and only typeset operators and digits in sans/serif.
