[OS X TeX] CMR fonts

[George Gratzer]

Hi Ross,

You saved my life. Of course, I knew all this at one time,
those fonts were installed on my home
desktop a long time ago. And as new computers came along, 
they were automatically inherited.

Of course, I must. The book has 125 illustrations.
I want the formulas in the illustrations look like they do in the text.

If I switch the text, say to Times, I can use Spivak's fonts. For this, I would have to 
redo 125 illustrations, with at least 1,000 formulas (this  number is just a guess.)

Attached a simple example.

Thanks again.
