Moreover, they should contain a broad collection +of special characters (see "Draft Unicode Technical Report #25. +UNICODE SUPPORT FOR MATHEMATICS" by Barbara Beeton, Asmus Freytag, +and Murray Sargent III). In particular, math OTF scripts are expected +to contain the following scripts: a basic serif script (regular, bold, +italic and bold italic), a calligraphic script (regular and bold), +a double-struck script, a fraktur script (regular and bold), a sans-serif +script (regular, bold, oblique and bold oblique), and a monospaced script. + +The basic script is, obviously, TeX Gyre Pagella. Greek symbols +were taken from the Math Pazo font by Diego Puga with the kind +permission from the author to use his work with the GFL licence. +The double struck font was created from scratch as well as +the math extension, i.e., the main component of the font. + +Other scripts, however, are borrowed from other fonts (the current +selection, however, may be subject to change): + + * the calligraphic alphabet was taken from the Odstemplik font + (http://www.dafont.com/odstemplik.font) with the kind permission + from the author to use his font with the GFL licence; + + * the fraktur script is excerpted from the renowned Euler family + (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMS_Euler); + + * the sans serif alphabets are excerpted from another renowned font, + DejaVu Sans (the DejaVu fonts are a font family based + on the Bitstream Vera Fonts, released under a free license, + http://dejavu-fonts.org/wiki/Main_Page); + + * and finally, the monospaced alphabet is taken from Latin Modern + Mono Light Condensed (http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/latin-modern). + +Note that the members of all the mentioned alphabets, except +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. + +Recent changes (ver. 1.605 --> ver. 1.632) comprised +mainly interline settings in OTF tables (HHEA and +OS/2) and the correction of the unicode slots assigned to +contour integrals (glyphs `clockwise contour +integral', u+2232, and `anticlockwise contour +integral', u+2233, used to have swapped slots). + + * * * + +The TeX Gyre Math 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. |
