The latter +two scripts, as well as math symbols (operators, relational symbols, +braces, arrows, accents etc.) have been designed to match visually +the basic font. + +Note that the members of all the mentioned alphabets, except for +the main roman alphabet, should be considered symbols, not letters. +Symbols are not expected to occur in a text stream; instead, +they are expected to appear lonely, perhaps with some embellishments +like subscripts, superscripts, primes, dots above and below, etc. + +To produce the font, MetaType1 and the FontForge library were used: +the Type1 PostScript font containing all relevant characters was +generated with the MetaType1 engine, and the result was converted +into the OTF format with all the necessary data structures by +a Python script employing the FontForge library. + + * * * + +The GUST e-Foundry Math Fonts Project was launched and is supported by +TeX USERS GROUPS (CS TUG, DANTE eV, GUST, NTG, TUG India, TUG, UK TUG). +Hearty thanks to the representatives of these groups and also +to all people who helped with their work, comments, ideas, +remarks, bug reports, objections, hints, consolations, etc. |
