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.
Hi Noel
This is what I suspect STIX(1) fonts are about: provide to scientific
community a font that covers all/most of the math/science demands. You
will notice that STIX fonts has a quite hefty support organizations.
So basically, given that STIX has all the symbols, why do we need
OpenSymbol and the work to fill the gaps?
Besides STIX also the MathJax-fonts are suitable. I got the package from
https://mdn.mozillademos.org/files/3677/MathML-fonts.zip, but they seem
to be in some Linux distro as well.
Kind regards
Regina
