Oops, I'm sorry... I know what I did wrong.

This will be fixed with the next test release of mtpro2, which I'm going to provide
next week. For the time being, load (n)german.sty only after mtpro2.

If you have the previous version already, I suggest to compare mtpro2.pdf with the old mtro.pdf. Main news are: - extensible curly braces, \ccases - extensible under- and overbraces - many additional symbols and operators - optional slanted \sum and \prod operators - optional "swashed" z -...

\sim symbol looks strange in super- or subscript as 10pt base size is used (as a white small \sim symbol inside a black "background" wave-like figure of size of a normal symbol). I can confirm that; it's visible also with GSView. The \sim symbol is broken in the font MT2SYS. (In MT2SYT an...

This is a well-known bug in MikTeX.

In the long run it may be useful to add glyph names, but this
needs still a lot of discussion.
The upcoming release of the fonts, however, should definitely

Capitalized words typeset in LucidaBright font using LaTeX's lucimatx and amsmath packages exhibit visually irregular intra-letter spacing. E.g., in the word {\large MATHEMATICS} [...] This elicits the question if the kerning data were properly implemented. In response, the author of lucimatx packa...

In this forum and your newsletter, the announced new release of MTPro font is version 2, but I learned from 'MTPro Latex user guide' at PCTEX' home page,is that the version is 3. I don't know which is correct. The current fonts set is version 3 of "MTPro", while the new release will be ca...
