TexPoint Font and Symbol Matters

• TexPoint comes with a set of TrueType fonts that contain the

glyphs for the standard Latex and AMS symbols. Some of
these symbols are also available in Windows standard fonts.
– Y

– If you set the configuration flag “Use AMS Symbols” then all
symbols are taken from Latex fonts.
– If the flag is not set then the symbols are taken from the Windows
font, if defined, or you get an error if the symbol is not defined

• The next few slides show the available symbols and the
macros that expand to them. In each table the columns
labeled T show the macro expansion if the AMS symbols are
used and the column W shows the symbols from the default
Windows fonts, when available
