I think the question that Marcos is asking is a little different.
Math typography is slightly weird in that people like to invent their
own symbols, and symbols are often very particular to quite a small
group of mathematicians.
Lots of the more common symbols have local variants that are only used
within a specific nation, or within a grouping of academic institutions.
So no font is ever going to be able to capture more than the most widely
used variants of the symbols.
So what I think he wants is the ability to define custom new shapes at
runtime and add them to some kind of gallery, and to be able to embed
them into a document.
