This package, based on txfonts, provides many fixes and enhancements to the txfonts package, splitting it into two separate packages---newtxtext and newtxmath, which may be run independently of one another. It provides scaling, improved metrics, and other options. In particular, newtxmath offers a libertine option which substitutes Linux Libertine (provided with TeXLive and MikTeX) italic and Greek letters for the default Times letters, providing a good match for the Libertine text font, which is heavier than Computer Modern but lighter than Times, and in my experience, looks very sharp and clear on the screen.

+Changes in version 1.00:
+1. Added option minion to newtxmath, allowing those possessing a recent basic version of MinionPro to use its Latin and Greek letters to replace the corresponding letters in math mode. (Version 2 or later of MinionPro-Regular.otf, MinionPro-Bold.otf, MinionPro-It.otf and MinionPro-BoldIt.otf required.) Using this option requires installation of the package minion2newtx.
+2. Corrected issue with height of accents in bold versions.
+3. Added a fix, perhaps temporary, for bad Libertine Italic Theta in fxlri.pfb.
+4. Revised ntx.map---needs to be enabled if never previously enabled, or rerun updmap[-sys] to register changes.
+
+Changes in version 0.99
+1. Main change is to correct faulty Libertine 5 and 7 pt math fonts distributed with version 0.98.
+2. More corrections to sty file and to metrics.
+
+Changes in version 0.98:
+1. Many metric changes in bold and regular weights of Libertine Greek glyphs used in newtxmath.
+2. Reworked the cmintegrals option to newtxmath and fixed the alphabets loaded by the bold Libertine version.
+3. The updated newtxmath seems to be compatible with the recent XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX.
+
+Changes in version 0.97:
+Many metric refinements to the libertine option in newtxmath. The bold math version now works much better though the math accents in bold are somewhat problematic (closer than desirable to the glyphs) because Libertine declares its x-height in semibold and bold to be considerably greater than the actual x-heights, presumably for the benefit of characters that are accented by traditional (OT1) means. The effect is that math accents are lowered substantially. The only option for the math version may be to construct a virtual font without the raised x-height---Ugh.
+
+Changes in version 0.96:
+Adds the 40 font support files (.tfm, .vf, .fd) that implement the osf option in newtxtext.sty.
+
Changes in version 0.95:
1. Copied (virtually) a number of useful glyphs from {\tt symbolsC} to {\tt lettersA} in an effort to reduce the number of mathgroups, which comes perilously close to exceeding 16.
2. Added option nosymbolsc to newtxmath that allows you to not load symbolsC, gaining a mathgroup.

You can ignore error messages that may occur here. This should result in a properly enabled ntx.
-Please understand that this is a still a preliminary version, and I have undoubtedly made errors. The underlying glyphs from txfonts are good, and I believe I've improved the metrics and the package substantially.
