CTAN Update: mathastext

[CTAN Announcements]

On Tue, 1 Feb 2011 Jean-Francois Burnol submitted an update of the 

  mathastext 

package to CTAN.

Summary description: Use the text font in simple mathematics
License type: lppl

Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The mathastext package propagates the document text font to
mathematical mode, for the letters of the Latin alphabet
and, optionally, other characters in the font. Thus it makes
possible (for a document with simple mathematics) to use a
quite arbitrary text font without worrying too much that no
specially designed accompanying maths fonts are available.
The package also offers a simple mechanism for using many
different choices of (text hence, now, math) font in the
same document. Of course, using one font for two purposes
helps produce smaller PDF files.
