In substance + this package is a poor man solution to the task of typesetting + math fulfilling the ISO regulations "for physical sciences and technology" (formerli regulations ISO 31/XI, now ISO\,80000). + These regulations refer mostly to the family, series and shape + of fonts to be used with symbols of various nature. + +This package gets inspiration from the ISOmath package by Günter +Milde, but tries to get the same results without using any math +[font] groups (or families). As pdfLaTeX users may recall, this +typesetting program may se at maximum 16 math [font] groups (or +math font families); sometimes this number results in an error +that forbids the user to use the symbols s/he needs. + +The trick used in this package consists in employing text fonts +within the \text command (defined by the amsmath package that, therefore, is a dependence to which pmisomath is subjected) and +chose text font families, series, and shapes to be used within +that command argument. + +The commands are such as to fulfil some math requirements; for +example while in the scope of the \boldmath declaration, the +series is automatically set to bold without any user intervention. +The font size is automatically taken care by \text, so that fonts +have the correct size also while typesetting exponents or subscripts. + +Nevertheless, through proper advanced command options, the user +remains the person principally responsible of using the right +font for the right symbol in a document that must fulfil the +ISO regulations. + +This package is usable only with pdfLaTeX; LuaLaTeX and XeLaTeX +can access OpenType math fonts through the package unicode-math, +and with the "math-style=ISO" option they have the math switching +commands agree with the ISO regulations. + +pdfLATeX users have available some packages to fulfil the ISO requirements; principally the ISOmath package thet is subject +to a number of limitations due the the particular math environment +of the user, and libertinust1math that produces a complete set-up +with math fonts that match very well text fonts that are darker +than the standard default Computer Modern ones (including the +CM-super and the Latin Modern ones). + +This package works very well with the Latin Modern fonts; in +practice in math mode it uses the same Latin text fonts, and +the corresponding families, series, and shapes of the LGR +encoded CBfonts; it may work also with the CM and the CM-super +fonts, but the original author never uses them, therefore he +cannot guarantee any suitable result. + +For installation of this package, simply run the pmisomath.dtx +through pdfLaTeX (and only pdfLaTeX); move the produced sty file +to the .../tex/latex/pmisomath/ folder; if it does not exist, +create it; similarly move pmisomath.dtx to .../source/latex/pmisomath/ +and pmisomath.pdf to .../doc/latex/pmisomath/. + + + |
