This distribution contains an attempt to use Linotype's Sabon OpenType
together with the free Pazo and MnSymbol fonts for mathematical
typesetting. Latin letter are taken from Sabon, Greek letters from Pazo,
and the rest from MnSymbol.

Known Bugs & Problems:
- The Pazo fonts are desing to go with Palatino, not with Sabon.
  Therefore the Greek letters do not match exaclty.
- The spacing and the placement of mathematical accents might be
  optimized.


--------------------------   Requirements   --------------------------

A (working) installation of the package "lsabon.tgz" is required for
using this package.

A (working) installation of the Pazo-fonts (which are part of the
PSNFSS-package, that is required for any LaTeX-distribution) is
required.

A (working) installation of the MnSymbol package (version 1.4 or later)
is recommended.

--------------------------   Installation   --------------------------

This describtion assumes a TDS-compliant TeX system.

1) Unpack the archive. The archive contains the following files and
folders:
    mathplsb.txt: This file
    texmf/: Folder with all files required by TeX

2) Install the TeX/LaTeX files. The folder "texmf" contains all files
for TeX/LaTeX in their correct position in a virtual texmf-tree,
therefore you only need to move the files to their corresponding
location in your local texmf-tree. Some of the directorys might have to
be created first.

3) Update your filename database. If your tex system maintains a
filename database, you might have to update manually now. Please consult
the documentation of your tex system. Under teTeX 2.0 and later, run the
following command:

    texhash

For other distributions, please consult your documentation!


-------------------   Using the fonts with LaTeX   -------------------

The supplied package "mathplsb.sty" selects Linotype's Sabon
as the default serif and math font. Letters not available from
ClassicalGaramond are taken from the Pazo and MnSymbol fonts.

As default the package loads lining figures. The package supports the
following options:

  Test options:
    osf: Load font with oldstyle figures for text. For math are always
       lining figures used.

    commands: Load additional commands for selecting the font styles not
       supported by the LaTeX font management:
        -\osstyle, \textos{...} selects oldstyle figures
        -\lnstyle, \textln{...} selects lining figures
       Those commands are taken from "The Font Installation Guide" by
       Philipp Lehman.

  Math options:
    slantedGreek: Load italic uppercase Greek letters by default.

    noMnSymbol: By default most symbols are taken from MnSymbol. With
      this option those symbols are taken from Computer Modern, and the
      MnSymbol package is not needed.

	These options specify which font is used by the \mathcal command:
      mnsy: use the calligraphic font from MnSymbol (default)
      cmsy: use the calligraphic symbols from Computer Modern
      abx: use the calligraphic symbols provided by mathabx

	These options specify which font is used by the \mathbb command:
      amsbb: use the AMS blackboard font (default)
      fourierbb: use the Fourier blackboard font
      pazobb: use the Pazo blackboard font

The following commands are defined:

  \upGamma, \upDelta ... \upOmega: The commands produce always upright
     uppercase Greek letter.

  \mathbold: Selects bolditalic math alphabet for typesetting bold
     variables

  \mathBB: Selects a 'blackboard bold' alphabet

The package and the source files are based on the mathpazo package.
