Dear MathGroupers, Mathematica 4.2 comes with seven font families, compared with five in the previous version. I am wondering if anyone knows how compatible these fonts are. The reason I ask is that I have a large number of graphics exported from Mathematica 4.1 under Mac OS 9, which now need to be incorporated into a (pdf)LaTeX document under Mac OS X. TeXShop/teTeX under Mac OS X chokes badly on the OS9 versions of the old font sets, but if I edit my LaTeX .map file to tell pdfLaTeX to embed Mathematica1.pfa instead of Math1(.pfa), everything seems to work. Ditto for Mathematica2/Math2. So I'm getting rhos and thetas where I should be getting rhos and thetas. This is a relief, but I'm wondering whether this trick will work in general for Mathematica graphics generated under from previous versions. What's in the new fonts that's not in the old fonts? The documentation just says "New characters for double struck, script, and Gothic numbers, the planets, and musical notes." Does this mean that Math[Bold,Mono][1-5] = Mathematica[Bold,Mono][1-5]? Thanks in advance, Luci Ellis
