Within LaTeX, Berthold Baskerville BQ is mapped to the font
families "qebx" and "qebj".  "qebx" comes with regular
digits, whereas "qebj" has oldstyle digits as the default
ones.  The command

  \renewcommand{\rmdefault}{qebj}

in the pramble makes LaTeX use BaskervilleBQ with oldstyle
digits and true smallcaps as the default roman font family,
whereas

  \renewcommand{\rmdefault}{qebx}
  
selects Baskerville with normal figures.

|  Notice that Baskerville is supported with T1 (european) 
|  and TS1 (textcompanion) encoding only, so you should 
|  issue the commands
|
|    \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
|    \usepackage{textcomp}
|
|  in the document preamble.  The obsolete OT1 encoding,
|  which is still the default with LaTeX, is _not_
|  supported.



Math typesetting
----------------
BaskervilleBQ can be used together with MicroPress' BA-Math
font set, see <http://www.micropress-inc.com/fonts>.

Load the package bqmath.sty to use BaskervilleBQ for text 
and BA-Math in the formulas:

  \usepackage{bqmath}
  
Doing so loads also the BA-AMS-Fonts; the package baams.sty
is not required addtionally.  The BA-Math fonts will be
scaled appropriately so as to match the BaskervilleBQ text
fonts.

Using the package option [osf] you may select the font
family qebj (with old-style figures) for text; the default,
is, of course, qebx with lining figures.
