1220.0. "Mathematical Word Processor" by TEACH::ART (Art Baker, DC Training Center (EKO)) Fri Mar 04 1988 15:36

	Does anyone know of a set of mathematical/technical fonts
	available (for free or for money) for the Amiga ?  I'm
	interested in working on some kind of "mathematical word
	processor".  What I'm looking for is the usual range of
	Greek letters, special symbols, etc.

	Alternatively, does anyone know of such a program already
	written for the Amiga ?

	Thanks,
	 Art

	I was looking in PLINK recently and found a set of fonts for exactly what you describe. I didn't download it, but I think I could find it again. Send me an E-Mail, if you're interested. ...Tim 8^)
1220.2	Symbol font?	TLE::RMEYERS	Randy Meyers	`Fri Mar 04 1988 16:30`	17
	Re: .0 I think Golddisk sells a "Symbol" font that contains all the usual mathematical symbols. It comes with LaserScript or you can buy it in a Golddisk font collection separately. This is a standard postscript printer font. Would one of the LaserScript people care to comment? If I am wrong about this, I do know that one exists somewhere. I read a complaint from someone publishing a Greek newsletter he couldn't find a Greek language font, and was having to make do by using a technical symbol font that contained Greek letters! These fonts would work with any Amiga word processor that used Amiga fonts.

	You can find Mathfont.arc at MVCAD3::[AMIGA.ARC]MATHFONT.ARC ...TIM 8^)

	Gold Disk also sells the same font on in their FontSet1 collection. They look identical to the LaserScript versions but sell for a lot less. Of course, they don't give you postscript output though... Randy
