 The Mathtime fonts have a number of characters remapped to
 different positions and for the symbol font `operators' they use
 ptmr, which misses several characters compared to cmr10. (Some of
 these are contained in the mathtime fonts). Using the fontinst
 package from Alan Jeffrey one can make virtial fonts with all the
 characters in the same position as the CM math fonts. 
 Using these virtial fonts one can use all tex commands, without
 needing to redefine any of the mathsymbols. In LaTeX \boldmath can
 switch now to cmbsy and cmmib without difficult definitions.
  
 The file fontzmtt.tex  builds virtial fonts for the symbol fonts:
 `operators', `letters' and `symbols' using Times, MTMI, MTSY,
 pzcmi0 = ZapfChancery (for script) and (if wished) cmmi10 (for old
 style numerals).   
 For the `largesymbols' one can use MTEX. 
 The corresponding style file for LaTeX is: zmathtim.sty.

 For old style numerals one has a choice of taking the numerals
 from Times or borrow them from cmmi10. Both options are provided
 here. 
 
 One can also use these files to build a set of math fonts for 
 other postcript families. This means using the symbols from Mathtime
 and construct a letters font from the italics font of the postcript 
 family using the files in this package. For most fonts this will not 
 work well without some additional fine tuning of humanistic character
 glyphs in the letters font. This is relatively simple using \shiftchar 
 as defined in timesmti.mtx. As an example I constructed a math family
 for the Utopia fonts. Here we use the file file utopimti.mtx to adjust
 the letters font. This file is basicly a copy of timesmti.mtx with some 
 minor modifications.
 
 The file fontumtt.tex  builds a math family of virtial fonts 
 for the Utopia family. The corresponding style file for
 LaTeX is: utopiamt.sty. Here I scaled Utopia to have the same
 xheight as Times. If you use 11pt or 12pt style, then this looks better 
 then the regular size Utopia. If you mainly use 10pt, then you should 
 scale the mathtime fonts instead. For more details, see the file:
 fontumtt.tex. 

 There are several other postcript font families from which one could
 construct a good math font family. For example one could use Caslon,
 New Baskerville, Minion, Stone Serif, AGaramond and many others.
 However these are not standard laserwriter families and one will
 need the corresponding Type 1 postscript fonts. 
 I got requests for math families for these fonts, however I do have them 
 myself, so I will not be able to do any fine tuning. In the first
 release of these fonts I included files which build a rough version of 
 the math fonts for these families. In that version I used timesmti.mtx 
 from the Times family for adjusting the letters font. 
 In this version, the fine tuning of the letters font for all these families  
 is done by: Huub Veldman. Some additional fine tuning  might still 
 be needed for each of them in the corresponding *.mtx files. (See 
 agarmti.mtx, caslomti.mtx, miniomti.mtx, newbmti.mtx, stonemti.mtx) 
 The corresponding files to build the fonts are:
 A Caslon:		fontcmtt.tex
 A Garamond:		fontamtt.tex
 Minion:		fontmmtt.tex
 New Baskerville:	fontnmtt.tex
 Stone:			fontsmtt.tex
 The style files for Latex2e are: caslonmt.sty, agammt.sty, minionmt.sty, 
 newbasmt.sty, stonesmt.sty and stoneimt.sty. The difference between the 
 latter two is Stone Serif italics or Stone Informal Italics for 
 the letters font. 
    
 Most postscript fonts do not have a special `lslashslash' glyph.
 This is only used to make `\l' and `\L', which actually are in
 most postscript fonts. Although the `\l' and `\L' glyphs are not
 in the OT1 encoding, `fontinst' adds ligatures for `\l' and `\L'
 in the OT1 encoding. If one really wants the `lslashslash' glyph,
 then one can take it from another font like cmr10. 
  
 In the letters font I added the two extra glyphs `varkappa' and `comp',
 which mathtime provides.
  
 If you want the math to be less tight, then set the letterspacing. 
 The standard is 0. You can also set the letterspacing for each of
 these fonts individualy in the files extrmt*. A value of 50 gives
 a result close to the original mathtime fonts. I prefer a much smaller
 value. For the symbol font letters we use a value of 20. 

 If you want to use these fonts with Plain TeX or AMSTeX, I recommend 
 changing the font declarations in plain.tex (after renaming it) 
 and make a new format. 

 Changes in version <1.0c>: 
 1. \hbar and \angle needed some additional kerning. Therefor I 
 redefined them in the style files.
 2. fontinst duplicates some of the font info in the *.vpl files. 
 I added to shellscripts: mvtoraw and awkraw, which will remove
 these duplications. This will save some space, since these fonts tend
 to be relatively large. 
 3. Added math fonts for the Adobe Caslon family. These font files were 
 provided by Huub Veldman, who also did the fine tuning for the Caslon,
 New Baskerville, Minion, Stone Serif and AGaramond families.  

 Changes in version <1.0d>: 
 1. For Caslon, Garamond and Minion added the possibility to take the 
 calighaphic symbols from the extended fonts. 
 2. Added files to make the text fonts corresponding to the math fonts
 in this collection. 
 3. Added the file psfonts.add with font definitions for dvips.  
 4. Added a definition of \matrix similar to the one used for Lucida.
