The Pazo Math fonts are a family of PostScript fonts suitable
for typesetting math in combination with the Palatino family of
text fonts. The Pazo Math family is made up of five fonts
provided in Type1 format (PazoMath, PazoMath-Italic,
PazoMath-Bold, PazoMath-BoldItalic, and
PazoMathBlackboardBold). These contain, in designs that suit
Palatino, glyphs that are usually not available in Palatino and
for which Computer Modern looks odd when combined with
Palatino. These glyphs include the uppercase Greek alphabet in
upright and slanted shapes in regular and bold weights, the
lowercase Greek alphabet in slanted shape in regular and bold
weights, several math glyphs (partialdiff, summation, product,
coproduct, emptyset, infinity, and proportional) in regular and
bold weights, other glyphs (Euro and dotlessj) in upright and
slanted shapes in regular and bold weights, and the uppercase
letters commonly used to represent various number sets (C, I, N,
Q, R, and Z) in blackboard bold. The LaTeX macro package
mathpazo.sty defines the Palatino family as the default roman
font and uses the virtual mathpazo fonts, built around the Pazo
Math family, for typesetting math in a style that suits
Palatino.
