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 1.05:
+A number of the changes here were due to valued feedback from Volodya Shavrukov.
+
+0. As of this version, it is required that you install libertine-type1, which serves as a replacement for libertine-legacy. Note too that the map file name has changed to newtx.map from ntx.map.
+1. Fixed some remaining references to libertine-legacy fonts so they point now to the included fonts.
+2. Added a new option largelibfigs to [libertine]{newtxmath}, changing the figures used in math mode from the default Libertine figures, which are about 8% shorter than Libertine's CapHeight, to Libertine .cap figures, which are exactly match Libertine CapHeight. (The .cap figures in semibold weight required for math bold were created to match the regular style.)
+3. The included fonts zxlr.pfb and zxlz.pfb (used only for math) were updated to include .cap figures.
+4. Additional metric changes in ntxmi, ntxmi1 and ntxmia.
+5. New OMS symbol virtual fonts tailored for used with the libertine option in newtxmath.
+6. Corrected a number of scaling issues due to incorrect macros.
+7. Added a new macro \equalht to newtxmath.sty. Applicable only within libertine, with largelibfigs options, making argument set digits and letters to same height.

Changes in version 1.04:
1. Adds separate stripped down versions of the Libertine-Legacy fonts (just the parts used in math) so that it is not necessary to install the now obsolete Libertine-legacy package. (The package libertine.sty now points to libertine-type1, its replacement.)
2. Adds a more distinctive nu, activated with the altnu option.
-3. The 7pt and 5pt versions of libertine math have been overhauled and are more spread out than former versions. Upright numberss have been added to the math fonts for better rendering in scriptstyle and scriptscriptstyle and more adjustable spacing.

4. Because there are a great many changes in this version, the chance of error is rather high, but the basic functionality is there for the libertine option.
5. IMPORTANT NOTE for TeX Live users: the name of the main map file for this package has been changed to newtx.map from ntx.map. Make sure that there is no copy of the latter in your texmf trees. If you write
