Several days ago, there was some discusstion regarding the 
use of Macintosh fonts with TeXtures instead of the computer
modern fonts provided by Kellerman and Smith.  I tried some
of the suggestions, e.g.,
  \font\A=Helvetica at 14pt
  \font\Ai=HelveticaI at 14pt
  \font\B=Palatino at 14pt
  \font\Bb=PalatinoB at 14pt.
This all worked great until I tried doing what TeX is best 
at--math symbols.  Trying something like $\alpha$ caused
TeXtures to produce unintelligible results.  Using equation
mode ($$ math stuff $$) was just as bad.  Does anyone know
how to use Mac fonts AND do symbols in TeXtures?
