Hello,

I have been working on Unicode math font for some time. Naturally, I
did not design
the glyphs from scratch, but I used the pxfonts as a starting point.
Although the font
is not complete (I plan to add around 220 more characters-glyphs),
still it contains more
mathematical symbols than Microsoft's CAMBRIA. I would really
appreciate it if people
would have a look at the font and give me their feedback. As it stands
the font does not have
any math-script features since I am using fontforge and at the moment
it supports none of these "new" features. So if anybody is willing to
check out the font, he/she can send me
a personal e-mail to send him/her a copy of it.

Regards,
A.S.

Hi Apostolos,

Great work so far!
I'm not in a position to do any unicode maths stuff for a few weeks,
but when I get back from my conference I'll take a look. Unless
you're not going to work on it for a month or so, I'll email you when
I'm ready to take a look at it (and update unicode-math at the same
time!).

Cheers,
Will

I will work on it, but this does not mean that you cannot check it out.
Please do mail me when you have some spare time and I will happily
send you a copy.

Kind regards,
Apostolos

Hi,

I would like to let you know that the latest cvs version of
FontForge supports the MATH OpenType table. In fact, I am using this
wonderful program to finish my OpenType math
font. A release version will be available in a couple of weeks or so.

Regards,
Apostolos
