- On a related note, I am trying to get my stuff printed out with Times as my
- text and maths font, using AMS-LaTeX, with nfss and psnfss all stuffed in
- to the system. The problem I am having is that after I change the maths
- mode to Times, using something like
-
- \define@mathgroup\mv@normal{0}
- {times}{m}{n}
- \define@mathgroup\mv@normal{1}
- {times}{m}{it}
-
- I lose all the greek characters (uniquely) inherent in cmr and cmmi. My
- problem is that I can't get them back, I have tried
- \newmathalphabet*{\cmmath}{cmm}{m}{it}
- \def\phi{\cmmath{\char"1E }}
- and I still can't get it to work. It looks like \cmmath{\char"1E} is not
- doing what I expect it to do, for it works quite well as \cmmath{\char90}.
