STIX fonts finally available!

Yes, it's taken over 10 years, but finally a beta release of the STIX fonts is available - at least for a short time. From their website:

The beta test period is scheduled to run from 31 October until 15 December. Beta test participants are highly encouraged to provide feedback. We are particularly interested in learning how well the software works with standard document creation software applications (e.g., Word, WordPerfect, InDesign, MathType, etc.), web browsers, and other applications.

The mission of the Scientific and Technical Information Exchange (STIX) font creation project is the preparation of a comprehensive set of fonts that serve the scientific and engineering community in the process from manuscript creation through final publication, both in electronic and print formats. Toward this purpose, the STIX fonts will be made available, under royalty-free license, to anyone, including publishers, software developers, scientists, students, and the general public.
