Little glitch in MnSymbol

Question

MnSymbol uses a few symbols from the text font, like \dagger, in math, and does so using the definition

  \ifx\Mn@Bold\math@version
    \text{\bfseries#1}%
  \else
    \text{\mdseries#1}%
  \fi}

Using \text here gets daggers to be set in italic if in, say, a theorem statement styled in italics, and that looks somewhat strange.

Adding an \upshape inside the \text fixes that.

I think that the package is somewhat frozen, but still :-)

Answer 1

I'd say that a correct definition would be

\textnormal{\ifx\Mn@Bold\math@version\bfseries\fi#1}

Just do

\makeatletter
\renewcommand\Mn@Text@With@MathVersion[1]{%
  \textnormal{\ifx\Mn@Bold\math@version\bfseries\fi#1}%
}
\makeatother

after loading MnSymbol.
