In the past we have used mathtime for documents that specified Times-Roman for the body, but next time we will probably want to use the txr fonts. Since we are a government institution, some documents that become part of the permanent record must use only the Adobe base fonts to generate PDF (the theory being that someone will be able to figure out how print such files in in 200 years -- if we can't avoid using a symbol that isn't in the base fonts we use the outline path). We sometimes use sans fonts for posters and slide presentations. Since the real work is done by students, we try to provide a "free" TeX environment for writing dissertations and reports so students won't be tempted to take away copies of licensed fonts and so they will be able to use the same TeX environment wherever they end up working. This has meant using Belleek instead of Mathtime, but "real soon now" they will be using txr, pxr, and/or mathpazo. encodings: Usually LY1, but we frequently get sections of documents contributed by outside agencies that can use almost anything found in one of the TeX distributions. -----Original Message----- From: Hans Hagen To: ntg-context@ntg.nl Sent: 3/12/01 12:50 PM Subject: fonts fonts and fonts [...] How many of you use fonts other that cmr and what fonts? In what encodings? In what combinations?
