I was wondering if anyone else was interested in the Euler math font. I was a bit frustrated in its incomplete coverage of certain symbols (e.g. delimiters, radicals), but then I discovered the Virtual Euler Math fonts/eulervm for LaTeX.
Sounds great.
Does anyone do enough math typesetting to want to test "zeuler" out? I've gotten good enough results this evening, but I don't have a lot of sophisticated formulae lying around to do a full test. Does anyone have some semi- demanding (non-AMS-territory) math for me to try?
Here's a script used to test the mathtimes fonts: (courtesy of YandY).

The continuation method involves taking a small step $\dlambda$ in $\lambda$ and solving for the increment $\dvx$ in $${d\vh\over d\lambda}\,\dlambda + \jac\,\dvx =0,\eqno{(9)}$$ where $J=(d\vh/d\vx)$ is the Jacobian of $\vh$ with respect to $\vx$. The updated solutions $\vx'=\vx+\dvx$ will not be exact if we are taking finite steps, so one needs to use Newton's method to improve their accuracy. \end %-------------------------------------------------------------- It works for me using cm* fonts.
