mathastext
package.
Version: 1.4e 2024-10-26
License: lppl1.3c
Summary description: Use the text font in maths mode
Announcement text:
Sadly the 1.4 release of 2024/07/20 had a regression which caused input such as $f''$ to crash (but the `everymath' option which re-enacts pre-1.4 legacy code could be used as a temporary workaround). It also broke the (not really recommended) option `unimathaccents' for use with Unicode engines, and it caused \MTversion{normal} to crash if with the `LGRgreek' option (and without `subdued'). This release fixes these problems and a few more obscure ones. The package release script got updated to re-compile numerous very ancient test files which would have, in particular, revealed the $f''$ bug which occurred at 1.4.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/mathastext The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mathastext/

mathastext – Use the text font in maths mode
The package uses a text font (usually the document’s text font) for the letters of the Latin alphabet needed when typesetting mathematics. (Optionally, other characters in the font may also be used). This facility makes possible (for a document with simple mathematics) a far wider choice of text font, with little worry that no specially designed accompanying maths fonts are available. The package also offers a simple mechanism for using many different choices of (text hence, now, maths) font in the same document. Of course, using one font for two purposes helps produce smaller PDF files.
