isomath.sty: Math layout for scientists
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Abstract
========
The isomath package enables formatting Greek and Latin letters as symbols
for vectors, matrices, and tensors in the typefaces recommended for
scientific papers by the International Standard ISO 31.
Features
========
* Re-define Greek letters as \mathalpha, taking them from the "letters"
symbol fonts.
* The macros \vectorsym, \matrixsym, and \tensorsym select an
ISO-conforming typeface.
* For this, new math alphabets are defined:
\mathbold: for *boldface italic* (vector and matrix symbols),
\mathsans: for *sans-serif italic* ,
\mathboldsans: for *sans-serif bold italic* (tensor symbols).
Requirements
============
This package builds on and extends fixmath.sty by Walter Schmidt.
It also requires ifthen.sty and kvoptions.sty.
The cmbright package is recommended for \mathsans and \mathboldsans
matching with Computer Modern and derivatives.
Installation
============
Copy isomath.sty to a suitable place in your TDS and make sure LaTeX can
find it.
Optionally, copy the documentation to a place where texdoc can find it.
Usage
=====
* \usepackage{isomath}
In many cases (when \sfdefault expands to "cmss"), the \mathboldsans
alphabet is neither bold nor sans, as "cmss" has no OML encoded
variants and maps to "cmmi".
* Use cmbright for the sans-serif math alphabets::
\usepackage[sfdefault=cmbr]{isomath}
* Redefine the standard \vec macro to typeset its argument in `bold
italic`::
\usepackage[sfdefault=cmbr]{isomath}
\renewcommand{\vec}{\vectorsym}
* The mathdesign package comes with an OML encoded bold roman font but does
not use it for \mathbf in the default setting. With ::
\usepackage[charter]{mathdesign}
\usepackage[OMLmathbf,sfdefault=cmbr]{isomath}
\mathbf{\pi} works as expected.
