MathType for Windows Font Installers: These fonts are provided for Windows users to print and view documents that include MathType equations. However, we strongly recommend you encourage your colleagues who use Equation Editor to download and install the free, fully functional, 30-day trial of MathType. After the 30-day trial period, MathType becomes MathType Lite, providing all the functionality of Equation Editor and, in addition, the ability to open and work with any of your MathType equations. (Font installers for the Macintosh version of MathType are not available.)
