typewriter faces. Table ![[*]](/file/17149/TeX CD-ROM July 1995 (Disc 1)(Walnut Creek)(1995).ISO/macros/latex/packages/psnfss/psnfss2e.tex/crossref.png)

Note that maths fonts will stay the same unless you have suitable
fonts to load. If the Adobe Lucida Maths fonts have been purchased, and
appropriate metrics obtained, loading lucmath will remove
all reference to CMR fonts in the document. Alternatively, purchase
the Lucida Bright font set and use the lucbr package.
