Within LaTeX, the Adobe Sabon fonts are mapped to the font
families "psbx" and "psbj".  "psbx" provides regular digits,
whereas "psbj" has oldstyle digits as the default ones.  For
instance, the command

  \renewcommand{\rmdefault}{psbx}

makes LaTeX use Adobe Sabon with regular digits as the
default roman font family.

*
*  Notice that Sabon is supported with T1 (european) and TS1
*  (textcompanion) encoding only, so you should issue the
*  commands
*
*
*  \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
*  \usepackage{textcomp}
*
*
* in the document preamble.  The obsolete OT1 encoding,
* which is still the default with LaTeX, is _not_ supported.
*

As to math typesetting, it is recommended to use the Euler
fonts through the package eulervm.sty:

  \renewcommand{\rmdefault}{psbx}
  \usepackage{eulervm}

Or, if you prefer oldstyle digits in text mode:

  \renewcommand{\rmdefault}{psbj}
  \usepackage[euler-digits]{eulervm}


NFSS classification of the text fonts
-------------------------------------

  family  series  shape(s)   PostScript FontName
  --------------------------------------------------
  psbx    m       n, it, sc  Sabon-Roman
                             Sabon-RomanSC  
                             Sabon-Italic   
  psbx    b       n, it      Sabon-Bold         
                             Sabon-BoldItalic   
  psbj    m       n, it, sc  Sabon-Roman     
                             Sabon-RomanSC   
                             Sabon-ItalicOsF 
  psbj    b       n, it      Sabon-BoldOsF       
                             Sabon-BoldItalicOsF 

Available encodings are T1 (European) and TS1 (Text
Companion).  The TS1 encoding compriseds only those symbols
that are part of the ISO-Adobe character set, plus the Euro.
