I saw that too, but the free version has only bitmap fonts.
The installed fonts already have the sans-serif numeral
characters, I just want to access them in a convenient
way from within a math environment. I was hoping that
someone would have a preamble script that would do this
so that ERT is not necessary.
So, here is a request to the developers: please modify the M-c s code
so that it will accept numerals in addition to alphabetic
characters.
