This looks very interesting and your installation instructions are
excellent. I do have one question though (see below).

Regarding the esstix font. Where exactly does one install all the files
associated with this font? What command do I use to access the blackboard
fonts -- is it the same command as is used in AMS-LaTeX, i.e., \mathbb?
Since it looks like the esstix font might act as a complete replacement for
the additional fonts in AMS-LaTeX, can we simply load AMS-LaTeX via (without
the amssymb package), as in:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{mbtimes}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{bm}
\usepackage{exscale}
\usepackage[mathscr]{eucal}

If not, how do I access all these other esstix fonts?

Thank you,
