Step 1 (Only for Windows). Download and install cygwin from http://cygwin.org . Step 2. Download t1utils-1.26.tar.gz from CTAN; for instance, from ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/fonts/utilities/t1utils/ ; unpack, configure, make and install it in /usr/local (that means C:\cygwin\usr\local on Windows) or any other suitable place. Step 3. Download mkt1font from CTAN; for instance, from ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/fonts/utilities/accfonts/ and put it in /usr/local/bin in Windows, or other place on UNIX (chmod +x it on UNIX). Step 4. Put fonts that you want to change (adding p-hat and x-bar) in your working directory (~, for instance) and add there the file defining your changes. For instance, file px.def containing 2 lines: 244 p circumflex 245 x macron See more details in the Readme file of the mkt1font distribution. For example, one might want to change Times Roman and Courier fonts. In that case, using URW distribution (from CTAN, for instance, or from many TeX distributions), for instance, the files might be utmb8a.afm, utmb8a.pfb, utmi8a.afm, utmi8a.pfb, utmr8a.afm, utmr8a.pfb, utmr8a.afm, utmr8a.pfb for Times and ucrr8a.afm, ucrr8a.pfb and others from texmf/fonts/afm/urw/courier and texmf/fonts/type1/urw/courier for Courier. Step 5. Run mkt1font on each of these fonts as follows (without typing $:-) $ mkt1font -n Times_Phat_r -d px.def -a utmr8a.afm -f utmr8a.pfb Times_Phat_r in this example is the name of the new font containing p-hat instead of o-hat and x-bar instead of o-tilde. O-hat and o-tilde were located on places 244 and 245 in the original font. That will produce files Times_Phat_r.afm and Times_Phat_r.pfb. Similarly for other fonts. Step 6 (Windows only). For Windows, we need *.pfm (and, maybe, *.inf) files as well. To make them from *.pfb files, one can use a shareware converter CrossFont, available for downloading from http://www.asy.com/sharecf.htm . Download it, install, start Crossfnt.exe, set field 'Convert from' to PC Type1 Printer Font, and check PC Printer Font Metric (PFM) and Font Information File (INF) below. Change Output folder at the bottom to the folder where the new fonts are located. Then go to File-Add Files, add the created pfb files, select one at a time for the unregistered version, and push the button "Convert selected files". That will produce *.pfm and *.inf files. Step 7 (Windows only). Install fonts using either Control Panel-Fonts, or Adobe Type Manager. Step 8 (Windows only). Change the keyboard to US-International (using dead keys). In more detail, go to Control Panel, Keyboard. Click on the Language tab. Select English (United States), click Properties and change the keyboard to the United States (International). Step 9. Start Maple, click Format-Styles. In the Styles window select Normal. Click Modify, then Font (at the bottom), and change it to Times_Phat, click OK. Similarly, select Maple Input, click Modify, then Font, and change it to Courier_Phat or whatever you named it. Similarly for 2D Math (Times_Phat) and other fields. Step 10. Test how it is working. Typing ^o in the Maple input must produce p-hat. Typing ~o must produce x-bar. Similarly in the text mode. Output also must show p-hat and x-bar.
