Newer versions of the package are updated by its new maintainer, Luuk +Tijssen. I thank Ali for his continued support in the development of this +package. + 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. - As of v0.2, this is done automatically when you use \sffamily and \rmfamily. +other font packages, notably eulervm and newpxmath. Its purpose is 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. + 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; for instance, using it with the Kepler and Biolinum fonts (kpfonts and biolinum). +It is not recommended to use this package with the Computer Modern text font, +this looks ugly. To use the package, add this to your preamble: \usepackage{eulerpx} -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 +As of v0.3, bold math characters are accessed through the \boldsymbol macro +provided by the `amsmath' package. For more professional/serious applications, +it is recommended to load the `bm' package for this purpose instead. + +Before v0.3, bold math characters were accessed through the \mathbf macro. This +macro now yields the bold text (operator) font. + +This package basically loads the newpxmath package, after which it replaces the +characters which are available in the fonts provided by eulervm. Therefore, many +of the (anti-)features provided by newpxmath are carried over to this package as +well. It is recommended to also read the documentation to the newpxmath package, +which describes all of these features. This README only covers the features +added by the eulerpx package. + +As of v0.3, you can load the newpxmath package with any options before the +eulerpx package in your preamble + + \usepackage[varbb]{newpxmath} + \usepackage{eulerpx} + +such as in the above example with the option `varbb'. This will cause newpxmath +to load a different alphabet into the \mathbb macro. (Which, in the opinion of +the authors, is prettier than the default.) + +Before v0.3, newpxmath was loaded with the options `upint' and `varbb' by +default. When loading the newpxmath package before the eulerpx package without +using these options would result in an options-clash LaTeX error. Upright +integrals are still set by default, but without using this option, so that the +user is free to load newpxmath with whatever options they desire. + +As of v0.2, the font for digits and operators is automatically changed to serif +or sans-serif when the bindings \rmfamily or \sffamily (respectively) are +encountered. However, it was found that the implementation of this feature lead +to inconsistency in the output. For this reason, since v0.3, the feature now has +to be explicitly enabled by using the option `sansmath', i.e., + + \usepackage[sansmath]{eulerpx} + +in order to enable its functionality. Beware that enabling this option might +lead to unexpected behavior in the output. + +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 $\alpha+\beta$. +then you may write your equations in the form $α + β$ instead of $\alpha + +\beta$. Note that the unicode coverage only includes the lower- and upper case +Greek alphabets, no special roman/math characters are included. For this +purpose you will need to load another package.
