   Right, that is because standard PostScript Times-Roman family fonts
   lack the necessary math characters.  This has been remedied in the
   MathTimes package developed by the American Mathematical Society and
   used in many of their journals.  

Minor correction: Actually it is Lucida Bright + Lucida New Math that
AMS uses --- and no, they did not develop it.  Bigelow & Holmes designed
the original versions of Lucida Bright, and Y&Y revised the fonts for use 
with TeX, and turned them into hand hinted ATM compatible Adobe Type 1 format.
This font set -- as well as Lucida Bright Expert which adds bold math
seriffed fixed width, non-connecting handwriting etc. -- is available from 
Y&Y and Blue Sky Research.

   The package is available commercially
   from several TeX vendors (see my home page [address above and below])
   for a list of several.  

Minor correction: MathTime was developed by Michael Spivak 
(at the time of `TeXplorators, Inc' now of `Publish or Perish, Inc.').  
Y&Y turned his fonts into hand hinted ATM compatible Adobe Type 1 format.
These fonts are available only from http://www.YandY.com
and http://www.BlueSky.com.  MathTime Plus - which extends the MathTime 1.1  
font set with bold math, upright Greek, and script faces is available 
exclusively from Y&Y. 

   Unlike TeX, LaTeX, et al, the MathTimes package is NOT freely distributable.
