[XeTeX] Res: Res: Res: Changing font for equations

[Flavio Costa]

Hi Andrew,

Just a correction: once MinionPro is installed, it works until you upgrade MiKTeX! I was not successful in migrating the installed packages from 2.6 to 2.7 so I preferred the convenience of using fontspec.

Thanks for the suggestion of using MnSymbol, it looks nice. However, I'm getting:

Error - Command `\mathdollar' already defined. \begin{document} (followed by: )
Warning - Encoding `OMS' has changed to `U' for symbol font (Occurance: "C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\tex\latex\mnsymbol\MnSymbol.sty")

Do you know how to get rid of these problems, particularly the error?

Flavio Costa

By "everything else in math" I meant symbols too, as the standard math symbols are too thin for Minion's roman and greek letters.

Give \usepackage{MnSymbol} a go! This package provides mathematics symbols that are designed to blend well with Minion Pro. 


There is a MinionPro package for LaTeX, but it takes a bit of effort to install, it's not as convenient as fontspec - I think I will have to install it to get Minion math now. Anyway, last time I installed it (on MiKTeX 2.6), the package didn't change the mathcal font, I'm note sure it provides this option.

But once it is installed (the step by step instructions are easy to follow), it works indefinitely. To get your entire document in Minion Pro, I think it is more convenient (especially with respect to mathematics) than fontspec only a single line \usepackage[options]{MinionPro} is needed. It certainly provides swash characters for \mathcal.
