Well, I use the 'belleek' fonts in texlive-fonts-extra as drop-in replacement for the proprietary mathtime fonts. The font uses the mathtime metrics and seems to have no metrics of it's own. See: /usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/map/dvips/tetex/mt-belleek.map and /usr/share/doc/texlive-fonts-extra/fonts/belleek/README (cd /usr/share; find -name belleek, only type1 and truetype, no metrics) > > Is see nothing in the changelog about the removal... > > Upstream doesn't keep a changelog.

Is there a recommended way within texlive to get times-like math in Plain TeX? (either with the belleek font, or some other free mathtime-like font) Greetings, Rik. -- Nothing is ever a total loss; it can always serve as a bad example. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
