WWdoc Pi Font

WWdoc PI is a family of 17 fonts created to include most known characters that can exist in a math expression. Exhaustive research and interviews with Utah State University math professors determined a list of characers and character standards. From this list a style format standard was determined and over a thousand characters were created with the same stroke-weight, baseline deflection, and overall appearance. This font is available in Type 1 postscript version for the Macintosh, TrueType and Type 1 postscript for the PC. This protects from loss of characters when transporting across platforms. A character created, initially, for the PC platform will have the same keystroke and font representative when moved to the Macintosh.

Also, characters in WWdoc PI are only created from keyboard strokes, which means that Alt characters (which cannot be recreated on a Macintosh) and Option characters (which cannot be created on a PC) are not mapped, thus creating a more accurate transition.

MathMonarch also includes a WWTimesTen, WWHelvetica, and WWPalatino font family which include a roman, bold, italic, bold italic, and math versions.

The TrueType version of WWdoc PI can be disributed freely to end users so that documents created with MathMonarch will accurately display all math characters.

The WWdoc PI fonts are installed in your system when you install MathMonarch. The fonts should be accessable through any font menu inside of Microsoft Word. The font names are WWdoc01 through WWdoc17.
