TM-Math Fonts from MicroPressTM-Math Fonts from MicroPressApril 15, Y2K, New York.
MicroPress is proud to
announce immediate availability of the TM-Math font family version 1.2.
TM-Math is a set of fonts that extend Adobe's Times Roman (TM) with all
TeX mathematical symbols.
The new version of TM-Math adds a large set of glyphs for full
compatibility with the TeX T1 layout; most important TS1 characters are included
as well. To see the full set of enclosed symbols, follow the links below.
TM-Math includes ten Type 1 fonts:
| Font Name | TM-Math font | Corresponding CM font |
|---|---|---|
| TM-Math Math Italics | tmmi10 | cmmi |
| TM-Math Math Symbols | tmsy10 | cmsy |
| TM-Math Math Extension | tmex10 | cmex |
| TM-Math Bold Math Italics | tmmib10 | cmmib |
| TM-Math Bold Math Symbols | tmbsy10 | cmbsy |
| TM-Math Bold Math Extension | tmexb10 | cmexb |
| TM-Math Regular Extension | tmrm10ex | --- |
| TM-Math Bold Extension | tmrb10ex | --- |
| TM-Math Italic Extension | tmri10ex | --- |
| TM-Math BoldItalic Extension | tmbi10ex | --- |
The last four fonts extend base Times Roman fonts with extra characters needed for TeX typesetting. Rather than to use them directly, a TeX user would typically use fonts in the OT1 or T1/TS1 encodings:
| Font Name | OT1 fonts | T1 fonts | TS1 fonts |
|---|---|---|---|
| TM-Text Regular | tmrm10ot | tmrm10t1 | tmrm10ts |
| TM-Text Italic | tmri10ot | tmri10t1 | tmri10ts |
| TM-Text Bold | tmrb10ot | tmrb10t1 | tmrb10ts |
| TM-Text Bold Italic | tmbi10ot | tmbi10t1 | tmbi10ts |
TM-Math includes all the usual TeX symbols, including Calligraphic and OldStyle.
The TS1 layouts and support files were cloned from the Walter Schmidt's files for the HVmath distribution. The TS1 layouts are partial, but all the characters likely to be needed are in. A specifically important ones are the currency symbols, including the Euro. The Virtual fonts and TFM's for the TS1 encoding are supplied.
TM-Math font set is automatically recognized by VTeX 7 format manager; TM-Math includes all required style and configuration files for an instant build of the format files for Plain TeX, LaTeX 2E, LaTeX 2.09, AmSTeX, and AMSLaTeX.
TM-Math is supported by VTeX PDF backend, VTeX PostScript driver, and all other VTeX drivers (via the ATM).
Since TM-Math is a full replacement for the CM fonts, no change in your documents is required: just specify an TM-Math based format.
TM-Math fonts can be used by themselves (as quality replacement for Computer Modern), or together with HV-math (TM-math for the body, and HV-math for headers.)
Besides VTeX, TM-Math can be used with DVIPS on Unix/DOS/Windows/OS2 platforms, as well as other software which can handle Type1 and Virtual fonts [pdftex, dvipdfm, for example, but not dvipsone, which lacks virtual font support.]
TM-Math distributions for VTeX and Unix are different; the VTeX distribution is packaged for VTeX installer and is useless for Unix platforms (including VTeX for Linux). HM-Math distribution for VTeX also comes with a number of additional files, including the fonts in the IF4 format (for TeXpider and non-PS DVI drivers) and additional .vf/.fd files for extra encodings (LV1, LV1-ISO, LV1-PC). On the other hand, the Unix distribution includes instructions/support for dvips.
