USAGE

mathastext.sty will make your document use the main text
font also in mathematics mode. It also provides a
mechanism to easily use distinct fonts (for mathematics
and also for text) in the same document. The goal is to
make documents exhibit a less polished look than is usual
with LaTeX, with the (vain?)  hope that the reader will
concentrate more on the (mathematical) content.

One corollary of the mechanism is that you can now typeset
documents (containing simple mathematics formulas) with a
quite arbitrary TeX text font, without worrying too much
that nobody ever designed accompanying math fonts.

A final aspect is that using mathastext usually reduces
the size of the final PDF file.

INSTALLATION

Run latex on mathastext.ins to create mathastext.sty from
mathastext.dtx and put it where LaTeX can find it.

To generate documentation run latex on mathastext.dtx
