mathastext
package.
Summary description: Use the text font in simple mathematics
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
+ the new LGRgreek option is provided for text fonts also available in LGR-encoding, so that the Greek letters in math mode may originate from the same font as used in text (and math) for the Latin letters. + internal changes to the code for better readability (systematic use of \if... conditionals).
This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mathastext . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=mathastext (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

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.
