To facilitate +access to these symbols a style file is included (gfsneohllenicot.sty). +Larger integrals are accessible with the commands \Bigint, \biggint, +\Biggint, \bigggint. Smaller integrals, sums and products are also available +with the commands \smallprod, \smallcoprod, \smallsum and \smallint. + +This style file does two additional things. First, it scales the font to 1.2 of +it's design size to match the xheight of GFS Didot if a serif font is needed to +be used with it, and fixes accordingly the interline skip. Second it modifies +interword spacing to 75% for a tighter look, and adds interletter spacing (tracking) +to the \scshape command. Old style numerals are also accessible with \scshape. + +A math sample is bundled with the font courtesy of Alain Aubord who has converted +to LaTeX the work of Steve Seiden named "Theoretical Computer Science Cheat Sheet". +(The name was switched to "Mathematics Cheat Sheet" by Antonis Tsolomitis). +(Note that Steve Seiden in his license allows redistribution not for profit if +his copyright is not altered (it appears on page 4 of the the cheat sheet)). + +A Greek Math sample is available at +http://myria.math.aegean.gr/~atsol/newpage/lecturenotes/convex-geometry/cga.pdf + +We want to thank Alain Aubord for providing the cheat sheet and for running +several tests with the font that provided important feedback. + +George Matthiopoulos – Antonis Tsolomitis |
