General ⇒ MathTime Professional 2 Fonts

[metric]

Hi,
Are MathTime Professional 2 Fonts, better for typesetting mathematics than the normal fonts that latex use ?

I've search the web and found that its's available in commercial version.

If it's really better and are worth trying, then are there any pkg(s), that can give me the similar output as MTP2 fonts.

Cheers!

Hm, these font set seems not very impressive to me. You can search the Topic Index of the TeX Catalogue Online in the Fonts section to get an idea of available fonts for LaTeX, which provide complete sets of fonts also for math typesetting.

Hi Arif,

have a look at the LaTeX Font Catalogue, especially at the section Fonts with math support. pdf samples including math formulas and their tex source code are provided. The pdf samples give a better impression of the quality than the png images on the web pages.

Hi,

Thanks you for the help, when viewed the pages thru the links you guys mentioned. I think there are so many option that it's really difficult to check each and evey font, and then i would be wasting more time and energy selecting the fonts than actually getting the work done.

Can you recommend me some font(s) which are widely used, so that i can stick to it, just want to know are any better options available then the defaults fonts, if really there aren't any fonts trying out, I'm happy to stick to the default ones (hope this is what most of LaTex user does).

I want my document(which also involve mathematic typsetting), to be beautifuly typed, but at some time wants to ensure that i don't waste much of time in only beautifying them, and tempt to change from one font to other(or format), and that's the reason i want to select a font(may be default) and stick to it.

Please let me now your suggestions.

Thanks a bunch,
Arif
