Hi!

The book version looks nice, indeed! (I am one of those who still use
the MetaFont version of computer modern (in LaTeX), with some
parameters set so that it becomes less thin. Looks very nice when
printed. I guess this book version will also look better, and replace
the MetaFont setup!)

Is there an option available to always get upright integrals?
