Are there any better ways of doing this?
maybe create a symbol set (did you look in symb-*.tex ?) I think some standardization in naming is needed here
I got started by looking at symb-eur.tex. I'll look further for a better approach.
in order to get that working the basic math text font should be euler as well;
Sorry. I don't know what exactly you mean by that. Do you mean manually setting the math roman(?) font to eurm10?
also, you need to code all you numbers in the source as math, so "about 25 years ago" becomes "about $25$ years ago";
Is this a necessity? I'd prefer my text font's numerals in text, and the math numerals in formulae.
euler was made by hermann zapf and used in "concrete math" (nice book by knuth cum suis) combined with concrete romman (afaik no type 1 available)
It's a nice font. I found it matched with Charter really well, and after that, found that other people on the net seem to agree with me. I had followed up this email with the attached minimal test. It doesn't give the glyphs I expect. I've tried all sorts of combinations to try to trigger the math symbols in math-eul, but I don't get any closer than this.

take a look in the type-* files for times and palatino math; we need a similar setup for euler

no problem

in that case, we should make a typescript that combines these fonts in a typeface, also taking care of proper relative scaling

In general, eul seems to be nearly as complete as tim. After lots of experimentation, it seems like the switch mechanisms are entirely in type-siz, though. Changes made with type-enc and type-syn (or facsimiles thereof) had no effect. However, adding "mr=eurm10 sa 1" into the type-siz euler entry got me further. I will experiment some more with this when I get home.

That's where I started, before simplifying. Charter and Euler work at more or less the same size. I scale Helvetica at 0.92, and cmtt at 1.1, and I have a family, thanks, in part, to Bill McClain's guidelines.
I will have a look
