[texhax] AMS Euler as a normal font

mukind,

    I wish to use AMS Euler as a regular font in my text. The AMS
    documentation says that the font is defined only in math-mode - does
    that mean that there's no way to do this?

    I could enclose all of the text between $$, but that turns off other
    essential things like line breaking, and becomes unusable. Is there some
    other way?

i'm not somewhere that i can experiment
with how using euler as a text font can be
done, but it's possible.  however, the
results will be pretty awful,  because
the font is not kerned at all, and the
shapes are designed to be viewed as
individual letters, not to cohere as a
good text font should. -- even better
kerning wouldn't help there.
