Fourier and amsart: msg#00508

Subject: Fourier and amsart

Does anyone know for sure that the small caps used by amsart in titles are displayed properly if the Fourier package is invoked and the Utopia Expert fonts installed? Without the expert fonts headings revert to CM. I would like to have some assurance before I think about investing in the expert set.

I've noticed too that \boldsymbol and \mathbf do not work yet with Fourier. Is there a place to go on the web for news about progress in its development?

I've been evaluating Fourier, and it is growing on me. I've always thought that Utopia could have a more elegant italic, (Minion italic is my favorite), but on the whole it gives a nice crisp looking page with well kerned text. Now CM looks a little too loose to my eye. Math symbols, particularly greek, also match the text font more closely in weight. For example, with CM the \beta in $\beta X$ looks a little wispy in contrast to the X, making me wish that I could apply a semibold to the \beta. Now with Fourier, the weights are perfectly balanced.
