SticksToo is a reworking of some of the fonts in the newly released STIX2 font package and the STIX2 beta font package from 2016 to allow LaTeX users to make better use of some of the text features of STIX2. A companion release of newtx, version 1.55, contains an option stix2 that uses Roman and Greek letters together with newtxmath symbols, as a work-around for some current problems with STIX2 math rendering in LaTeX.

{\tt SticksToo} there are most of the options and macros that are part of the {\tt newtxtext} package, but with Times fonts replaced by {\tt StixTwoText} fonts. As of the initial release of {\tt STIX2}, the math fonts have some problem which make them unsuited to high quality mathematical typesetting, and so I'm offering an update of {\tt newtxmath} with option {\tt stix2} that makes use of the Roman and Greek letters from {\tt STIX2} (the two year old beta version, not the one now available on CTAN)
together with math symbols from {\tt newtx}. In my opinion, the {\tt STIX2} fonts are a great improvement over Times based fonts---more readable because of the increased x-height, fewer spacing issues with overly sloped Italic shapes, and handsome new Greek glyphs.
-The symbols in {\tt newtx} are thinner than those in {\tt STIX2}---56{\tt em} versus 66{\tt em}---and the appearance is therefore somewhat lighter. The math axis with {\tt newtx} is 2 units less than with {\tt STIX2}, an amount that few would notice. There is no mixing of
+The symbols in {\tt newtx} are thinner than those in {\tt STIX2}. The usual unit used in PostScript based fonts is one thousandth of the {em} value specified in the font, and that is almost always 10{\tt bp}. So, think of 100 units as 1{\tt bp}. In terms of these units, the line width is 56 units in {\tt newtxmath} versus 66 for {\tt STIX2} and the appearance is therefore somewhat lighter. The math axis with {\tt newtxmath} is 2 units less than with {\tt STIX2}, an amount that few would notice. There is no mixing of
math symbols from {\tt STIX2} and {\tt newtx} where the difference in math axis, however small, might be observable.

-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: $\mathbb{A\dots Z}$ (upper-case only), which I find unappealing because the uneven separations between boundaries makes the gray level likewise uneven.
