Hi everyone,

this looks fine. I have used Wolfram's Mathematica fonts for a while, and
they have, among others, bold math. I give a link to two pdfs with some
examples. One can download the fonts from Wolframs site.

I have also generated list of characters available at

http://www.math.chalmers.se/~mickep/fontlist.pdf

My question is if there is a way to make the following in a nice way:
Suppose one uses the Wolfram-Times math font as default in a doc. Then one
would like to swich to the Wolfram-Times-Bold math font with \bf. But
maybe one also wants to be able to switch to the Wolfram-Courier math font
with some switch, and perhaps also Woflram-Courier-Bold math font with
another switch.

Moreover, if anyone is interested: There is a package to use these fonts
in LaTeX. I have more or less copied and changed it to work with ConTeXt
and it works more or less. There are some stuff not working yet. If anyone
is interested in this, If I get an OK from the author of the LaTeX package
I can make it available online if anyone is interested.
