Summary description: Use the text font in maths mode
Announcement text:
With this release, your documents will compile faster: mathastext does not use at all anymore the \everymath/\everydisplay registers (except for a LuaLaTeX font matter) for the more advanced functionalities it provides. - option everymath will partially revert this core change; it is provided as a quick fix in case of problems arising in a document. Under this option though, some bugfixes coming with this release are not applied. This option will be removed at next major release. Please report problems encountered without it before it gets removed. - the internal infrastructure to use math active characters is made easier to tap into for the case of the ascii letters, allowing special tasks such as adding color or frames or use another font or whatever. - option activedigits will let digits also be customizable as in previous item. - the babel-spanish dot action in math mode is not lost anymore. - a LuaLaTeX-only hack dating back to 2016 has been updated to handle fonts declared using Renderer=HarfBuzz. - mathastext now requires LaTeX 2020-02-02 and has trimmed legacy branches supporting earlier releases; support for the EU1 and EU2 font encodings has been removed. See the Change Log in the PDF for additional changes and details. Some parts of the documentation have been extensively rewritten or at least reordered, which always improves things.

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.
