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 Schola. Greek symbols are based on Theano Modern font +(http://www.thefreewindows.com/2949/old-standard-unicode-greek-polytonic-font/) +by Alexey Kryukov with the kind permission from the author to use his work +with the GFL licence. The double struck and calligraphic scripts were 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 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, + Lato by /Lukasz Dziedzic (http://www.latofonts.com/) also with the + kind permission from the author to use his work + with the GFL licence; + + * and finally, the monospaced alphabet is taken from TeX Gyre Cursor + (see http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/tex-gyre/). + +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. + +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. |
