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}.

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.
