Abstract

After several years of publishing in Tj$ and (Almost-)Computer Modern, the American Mathematical Society has switched to and the Autologic Times family of fonts. This paper discusses the steps taken by the AMS to access Autologic's proprietary typefaces through 2)$ and some of the difficulties encountered, particularly the problems associated with spacing in the math italic font. Although the procedures described are specific to the Autologic fonts, the principles outlined are applicable to other non-METRFONT fonts on other typesetters or printers.
