So, he needs to purchase not only the AMS fonts (which would include
the Eulers, right?) but also a TeX upgrade, to v.2.2. That means he's
only going to be able to use old CDs (or perhaps even discs from back
that far, eh?) for CM, LaTeX, and SliTeX fonts.

He definitely represents a case where all fonts purchased over time
would be best re-supplied on the upgrade CD.

Blenda, I think you have the info you need for this one, then, no?

The first query, about \mathfrak, requires the AMS fonts. Your records
indicate these have not been purchased -- hurray for record-keeping!

The second query is about whether he needs to upgrade Y&YTeX in order
to move to a WinXP platform. The answer is yes, because only the
latest v.2.2 supports the Win2000/XP platforms.

So, send him the info and see where he goes with it all ;-)
