fontmath.cfg

The file |fontmath.cfg| contains declarations relating to the use of fonts in math mode.

It defines which font shapes are used in math mode. It also defines all the math mode commands that `are likely to' depend on the choice of math fonts used (e.g. commands that depend on the position of a glyph in a math font).

The main reason for the existence of this file is to provide for future updates when a standard math font encoding is available. Right now we do not encourage the use of this configuration file other than for special applications. Writing a proper configuration file for math mode needs expert knowledge!

Please note that use of this configuration file has the following consequences.

• Since the content of this configuration file is likely to change in the future, anyone writing such a file must be prepared to update it for use with future releases.
• Documents are portable only in the sense of being processable at a different site—the actual formatting will not be the same if different fonts are used.
• The L^ATEX3 project team will not be able to support you in diagnosing problems if these cannot be reproduced with a format that does not use this configuration file.

The default file |fontmath.ltx| comes from the documented file |fontdef.dtx| so this file should be consulted for further information.
