You would need the PC Postscript version (PFB/PFM). I remember these fonts vaguely, they are not as good as the Y&Y ones but they should do the job. These are the 'parents', so to say. They'll need some work and probably will miss some characters. But ... you can get the Y&Y ones separately as well: check this page http://www.yandy.com/river/setdetail-LB.htm Just the 5 math fonts will cost you $70. Since you need at least the three basic ones, the difference is 70-3*21 = only $7. You'll get two extra fonts and they will be the 'right' ones. For the remaining $95, you get 22 high-quality fonts. Not a bad deal at all. Greetings, Taco
