Hi, There's a small typo in math-tex.tex (line 220 in my version): \definemathsymbol [flat] [ord] [sy] ["5B] ...should be... \definemathsymbol [flat] [ord] [mi] ["5B] Now to figure out how to get that symbol to show up within euler. Anyone know how to determine the symbols in a given font? adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Adam Lindsay +44(0)1524 594 537 atl@comp.lancs.ac.uk http://www.comp.lancs.ac.uk/computing/users/atl/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

The answer to that last one is \showfont[eurm10], of course. For some reason I couldn't remember getting that to work, before. In case anyone is interested, I will document my problem. Because I'm using Euler as my math font, I can't get at many symbols, including the musical ones. With my current font definitions, I didn't get much joy with cmr acting as a fallback in math. Not really married to the idea of using math mode for music anyway, I do this instead: \definesymbol [Flat] [\getglyph{pxmi}{\char91}] % txmi (times) or cmmi10 (cmr) \definesymbol [Natural] [\getglyph{pxmi}{\char92}] %can be substituted for pxmi \definesymbol [Sharp] [\getglyph{pxmi}{\char93}] \def\Flat{\symbol[Flat]} \def\Natural{\symbol[Natural]} \def\Sharp{\symbol[Sharp]} Are there any better ways of doing this? Now, with Euler math, I'm still not getting the nice euler numerals when in math mode... I suspect I'm not picking up the math characters in math- eul, but I have no idea of how to load those definitions. Any clues on that one?

maybe create a symbol set (did you look in symb-*.tex ?) I think some standardization in naming is needed here

in order to get that working the basic math text font should be euler as well; also, you need to code all you numbers in the source as math, so "about 25 years ago" becomes "about $25$ years ago"; 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) Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can try: \showfont[fontname] Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------
