\section*{In short}
{\tt ScholaX} has a text part and a math support part that is called with an option to {\tt newtxmath}. The text component has many of the options and macros that are part of the {\tt newtxtext} package, but with Times fonts replaced by {\tt TeXGyreScholaX} fonts, the latter being an an extension of the {\tt TeXGyreSchola} fonts which in turn extended the URW rendering of \emph{New Century Schoolbook} that was donated as open source to the Ghostscript project. The font is based on early nineteenth century ``Scotch'' type, whose dominant features are low contrast as compared to, say, Times and Baskerville, and a relatively tall x-height. Its revivals gained popularity because of studies indicating its readability by children leading to its adoption in many texts for that market. Now that I am approaching the age where second childhood is not uncommon, the font is looking more interesting.

There are clear deficiencies in the \verb|\textfrac| macro used in this package, and for a better one, one must use the approach now used in {\tt newtxtext}, which is much more involved.
+\verb|\textfrac[2]{19}{32}| renders as \textfrac[2]{19}{32} with default settings. Note also \textfrac{1}{2}, \textfrac{1}{4}, \textfrac{3}{4}, \textfrac{7}{8}, \textfrac{3}{16}. (The optional argument to \verb|\textfrac| is the integer part.)
The \verb|\textfrac| constructs fractions using \verb|\textsu| and \verb|\textin|, raising the result to align with the text baseline. The behavior is quite configurable, there being three parameters available to control the kerns before and after the fraction solidus, and the amount to raise the resulting box. The three parameters are passed as options to {\tt scholax}, named
\begin{verbatim}
-foresolidus % default value -.1em
+foresolidus % default value .04em
aftsolidus % default value -.11em
raisefrac % default value .111em

Unless you specify in the options a choice (one of {\tt varbb}, {\tt vvarbb} for your blackboard bold alphabet, \verb|\mathbb| will use the default blackboard bold alphabet: $\mathbb{A\dots Z, k}$ (the only lowercase letter available is $\mathbb{k}$), which I find unappealing because the uneven separations between boundaries makes the gray level likewise uneven. There are two macros which provide access to other alphabets:
\begin{itemize}
\item
-\verb|\vmathbb| gives you $\vmathbb{A\dots Z k 1\imath\jmath}$ ($\vmathbb{k}$ is sole lowercase, $\vmathbb{1\imath\jmath}$ borrowed from \verb|\vvmathbb|);
+\verb|\vmathbb| gives you $\vmathbb{A\dots Z x 1\imath\jmath}$ (full lowercase, \verb|\imath,\jmath|, $\vmathbb{1}$ borrowed from \verb|\vvmathbb|);
\item \verb|\vvmathbb| gives you $\vvmathbb{A\dots z12\imath\jmath}$ (full lowercase, digits, \verb|\imath,\jmath|).
