# CTAN Update: mathastext

Date: September 7, 2013 6:01:08 PM CEST
Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the mathastext package. Version number: 1.3a License type: lppl Summary description: Use the text font in math mode Announcement text:
1.3a [2013/09/04] The command \MTsetmathskips from recent release 1.3 is more flexible (e.g. for use in an \@for loop): its first argument may be a macro (or any expandable code) giving the letter. The amsmath macro \resetMathstrut@ is replaced only when strictly necessary (i.e. if the user makes the parentheses mathematically active via \MTnonlettersobeymathxx). Again some improvements in the documentation.

## mathastext – Use the text font in maths mode

The package uses a text font (usually the document’s text font) for the letters of the Latin alphabet needed when typesetting mathematics. (Optionally, other characters in the font may also be used). This facility makes possible (for a document with simple mathematics) a far wider choice of text font, with little worry 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, maths) font in the same document. Of course, using one font for two purposes helps produce smaller PDF files.

The package, if running under Lua, requires the live 2013 distribution (or later).
