Hi,
I have the Mathematica fonts running with pdflatex.
You need at least the encoding files for pdflatex
and a different map file than for dvips.
The point is, PostScript use the names in the encoding
to acess an character, TeX and mathematica use the
position number in a table of 256 characters for every
font.
Needless to say that I fight agains the encoding errors
in the Mathematica fonts since more than 3 years.
How ever, any encoding error in the *.pfb/*.pfa
files is discovered by useing pdftex and you may
need edited *.pfb/*.pfa files with some the correct encoding.
Please contacr me direct to get the pdflatex setup and
and fixed Mathematica fonts :-) because you need a Type 1
fonteditor to modify the encoding in the fonts :-(
Regards
Jens
