Howdy,

As usual, I bring up a rat's nest!!! I'd love to use XeLaTeX more but my
problems with maths makes me keep my distance. If CM maths looked ok with
Hoefler I'd be satisfied but it is quite a bit too light. I must admit I
don't like Euler, it's way too off beat for me. Even Lucida New Math is a
bit light but better than CM.

As usual with experimental SW things take a while to work out. If I was more
competent with font stuff I'd even try to help. Thanks for all the work you
and Ross and, especially Jonathan have done; it is wonderful to be able to
use the fonts available on the system fairly easily---at least for text.

Good Luck,
