to account for the rather heavier weight of the
Concrete fonts. If you wish to use the Euler fonts for
mathematics, as Knuth did, there’s the euler package which
has been developed from Knuth’s own Plain TeX-based set: these
macros are currently deprecated (they clash with many things, including
AMSLaTeX). The independently-developed eulervm
bundle is therefore preferred to the euler package. (Note
that installing the eulervm bundle involves installing a
series of virtual fonts. While most modern distributions seem to have
the requisite files installed by default, you may find you have to
install them. If so, see the file readme in the
eulervm distribution.)
A few years after Knuth’s original design, Ulrik Vieth
designed the Concrete Math fonts. Packages
concmath, and ccfonts also change the default math
fonts from Computer Modern to Concrete and use the Concrete versions
of the AMS fonts (this last behaviour is optional in the case
of the concmath package).
There are no bold Concrete fonts, but it is generally accepted that
the Computer Modern Sans Serif demibold condensed fonts are an
adequate substitute. If you are using concmath or
ccfonts and you want to follow this suggestion, then use the
package with boldsans
class option (in spite of the fact
that the concmath documentation calls it
sansbold
class option). If you are using beton,
add

Type 1 versions of the fonts are available. For OT1 encoding, they are available from MicroPress. The CM-Super fonts contain Type 1 versions of the Concrete fonts in T1 encoding.This question on the Web: http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=concrete
