math­as­text – Use the text font in sim­ple math­e­mat­ics

The pack­age uses a text font (usu­ally the doc­u­ment’s text font) for the let­ters of the Latin al­pha­bet needed when type­set­ting math­e­mat­ics. (Op­tion­ally, other char­ac­ters in the font may also be used). This fa­cil­ity makes pos­si­ble (for a doc­u­ment with sim­ple math­e­mat­ics) a far wider choice of text font, with lit­tle worry that no spe­cially de­signed ac­com­pa­ny­ing maths fonts are avail­able. The pack­age also of­fers a sim­ple mech­a­nism for us­ing many dif­fer­ent choices of (text hence, now, maths) font in the same doc­u­ment. Of course, us­ing one font for two pur­poses helps pro­duce smaller PDF files.
