It's reasonably easy to use an arbitrary +Postscript Type 1 font in TeX for text (see Philipp Lehman's Font +Installation Guide [<A HREF="#CTANfontinstgd"><CITE>1</CITE></A>]), but obtaining and configuring +a matching math font from scratch is a demanding task. Thus, there +are few math fonts for TeX, and in particular very few free ones. +However, in the past few years, several very nice free fonts have +been released. The goal of this article is to list all of the free +math fonts and to provide examples.<BR> +<BR> +“Free” here means fonts that are free to use (both commercially +and non-commercially) and free to distribute, but not necessarily +free to modify. I also am biased towards listing fonts that have outline +versions in PostScript Type 1 format suitable for embedding in Postscript +PS or Adobe Acrobat PDF files. Donald E. Knuth originally designed +the METAFONT system for producing fonts for TeX in bitmap format. +PS or PDF files that have embedded bitmap fonts do not display well +in Adobe Acrobat Reader,<SUP><A NAME="text3" HREF="#note3">3</A></SUP> to the point of being almost unreadable on the screen, and are also +noticeable when printing at extremely high resolutions (on photo-setters, +for instance). Since outline fonts contain mathematical descriptions +of the curves used in each glyph, they can be scaled to any resolution +while retaining image quality.<BR> +<BR> +The fonts listed here are categorized according to their origin: whether +originally designed for TeX, related to the standard Postscript +fonts, or other free fonts. A font's origin does not particularly +bear on its quality or suitability for typesetting mathematics. No +recommendations or evaluations of the fonts are given here, as people's +tastes in fonts vary greatly. The goal of this survey is simply to +make authors aware of all their options.<BR> +<BR> +Most of the fonts can be selected by including a single package in +the preamble of the user's LaTeX file (the <EM>preamble</EM> is the +section after “<TT>\documentclass{}</TT>” and +before “<TT>\begin{document}</TT>”). The line +or lines to include for each font are listed in the caption of the +sample figure. For example “<TT>\usepackage{fourier}</TT>” +uses Utopia and Fourier-GUTenberg, as shown in the sample LaTeX +file in Section <A HREF="#sec:Creation">6</A>.<BR> +<BR> +Walter A. Schmidt also has a survey in German of math fonts [<A HREF="#WASmathfonts"><CITE>3</CITE></A>] +that concentrates more on commercial fonts. Schmidt's survey has several +examples that show different pairings between text fonts and math +fonts.<BR> +<BR> +<!--TOC section Fonts Originally Designed for TeX--> + +<H2 CLASS="section"><A NAME="htoc2">2</A> <A NAME="sec:TeXFonts"></A>Fonts Originally Designed for TeX</H2><!--SEC END --> + +These fonts were originally designed for use with TeX, using either +METAFONT or MetaType1 [<A HREF="#CTANmetatype1"><CITE>2</CITE></A>].<BR> +<BR> +<!--TOC paragraph Computer Modern:--> + +<H5 CLASS="paragraph">Computer Modern:</H5><!--SEC END --> + +Knuth created Computer Modern [<A HREF="#CMBook"><CITE>5</CITE></A>] as the default font +for TeX.
