Well, blow me down for thinking that  ESSTIX was an acronym for
Elsevier Science STIX .

This email message describes the relationship pretty well, I think:

  http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-amaya-dev/2000Sep/0016.html

or at least, as it was in September 2000.


BTW, it also gives the URL to download this great set of fonts:

  ftp://ftp.elsevier.nl/pub/styles/esstix/esstix.zip


If the situation has changed in the past 18 months, can you please
provide more up-to-date information.



Perhaps other publishers will create their own sets of fonts,
using the STIX encodings and new Unicode code-points.
Maybe not, and everyone will end up using ESSTIX, because Elsevier
have provided them cost-free --- thank you very much indeed.

My point was only that it is not fair to overlook the efforts of others,
as well as Elsevier, in helping to bring about this fortunate situation.


All the best,
