How To Install texlive-mathpazo on CentOS 8

texlive-mathpazo is Fonts to typeset mathematics to match Palatino

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install texlive-mathpazo on CentOS 8.

What is `texlive-mathpazo`

The Pazo Math fonts are a family of PostScript fonts suitable for typesetting mathematics in combination with the Palatino family of text fonts. The Pazo Math family is made up of five fonts provided in Adobe Type 1 format (PazoMath, PazoMath- Italic, PazoMath-Bold, PazoMath-BoldItalic, and PazoMathBlackboardBold). These contain, in designs that match 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 mathematical 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 set also includes a set of ’true’ small-caps fonts, also suitable for use with Palatino (or one of its clones). LaTeX macro support (using package mathpazo.sty) is provided in psnfss (a required part of any LaTeX distribution).
