# Old-style/Antique typesetting in LaTeX/TeX

I would like to typeset a page that looks "antique." Are there packages/fonts in LaTeX that do that? I could find antique fonts online, but they don't include math symbols. An http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/Free_Math_Font_Survey/survey.html (dated 2006) lists various free math fonts that were available then, but none of them look antique.

Examples of what I am looking for:

1. Einstein's General Relativity Paper
2. JSTOR; American Mathematical Monthly, in 1960 (requires subscription)
3. Another one from JSTOR (AMM 1960)
4. JSTOR; AMM (1894)

Thanks!

This is a very similar question to this question here: tex.stackexchange.com/q/9495/2693 It's not clear that many of these antique style fonts have math support, so you may have to improvise with some combination of fonts. –  Alan Munn Jan 29 '11 at 16:33
There are more things to look at than just the font (and its properties, ie. old-style numerals); in Einstein's paper, for example, pay attention to the inter-word spacing/non-frenchspacing (horizontal rhythm) and baselineskip/et al (vertical rhythm), and typeblock-width and margins! –  morbusg Jan 29 '11 at 21:38
@Alan: Thanks; yes, I noticed that many fonts do not have math support. I guess I'll have to create my own font slowly if needed. @morbusg: Given the amount of data we already have, I think it should be possible to extract the symbols that we commonly use and possibly create a font out of it. Let me try that option when I get time. –  Vimal Jan 30 '11 at 3:34
Wow, look at those summation signs in Einstein's paper. I'd love to use those in a report sometime just to see people's reaction. If you do build up a font please put it on CTAN. –  Canageek Sep 25 '11 at 3:58
