29
- Latin Modern Math is a math companion for the Latin Modern family
30
- of fonts (see http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/latin-modern) in
31
- the OpenType format.
32
-
33
- The math OTF fonts should contain a special table, MATH, described in the
34
- confidential Microsoft document "The MATH table and OpenType Features
35
- for Math Processing". Moreover, they should contain a broad collection
36
- of special characters (see "Draft Unicode Technical Report #25.
37
- UNICODE SUPPORT FOR MATHEMATICS" by Barbara Beeton, Asmus Freytag,
38
- and Murray Sargent III). In particular, math OTF fonts are expected
39
- to contain the following scripts: a basic serif script (regular, bold,
40
- italic and bold italic), a calligraphic script (regular and bold),
41
- a double-struck script, a fraktur script (regular and bold), a sans-serif
42
- script (regular, bold, oblique and bold oblique), and a monospaced script.
43
-
44
- The basic script is, obviously, Latin Modern. Some scripts, however,
45
- are borrowed from other fonts (the current selection, however, may
46
- be subject to change), belonging, however, to the "TeX circle":
47
-
48
- * the calligraphic and fraktur alphabets are excerpted from the renowned
49
- Euler family (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMS_Euler);
50
-
51
- * the double struck script is excerpted from Alan Jeffrey's bbold font
52
- (http://www.tug.org/texlive/Contents/live/texmf-dist/doc/latex/bbold/bbold.pdf)
53
-
54
- * the sans serif and monospaced alphabets are excerpted from
55
- the Latin Modern Sans and Latin Modern Mono fonts
56
- (http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/latin-modern);
57
- sans serif bold Greek symbols (required by the already mentioned
58
- "Unicode Technical Report #25") were prepared using D.E. Knuth's
59
- font sources with some manual tuning
60
-
61
- The main math component, that is, the math extension, was programmed
62
- from scratch, with an attempt to retain the visual compatiblility
63
- with the original D.E. Knuth's fonts. In particular, all symbols
64
- (with a few exceptions) appearing in the D.E. Knuth's "canonical" fonts
65
- have the same width (rounded) as the corresponding Knuthian ones.
66
-
67
- Note that the members of all the mentioned alphabets, except
68
- the main roman alphabet, should be considerd symbols, not letters;
69
- symbols are not expected to occur in a text stream; instead,
70
- they are expected to appear lonely, perhaps with some embellishments
71
- like subscripts, superscripts, primes, dots above and below, etc.
72
-
73
- To produce the font, MetaType1 and the FontForge library were used:
74
- the Type1 PostScript font containing all relevant characters was
75
- generated with the MetaType1 engine, and the result was converted
76
- into the OTF format with all the necessary data structures by
77
- a Python script employing the FontForge library.
78
-
79
- Recent changes (ver. 1.958 --> ver. 1.959) comprised
80
- mainly interline settings in OTF tables (HHEA and
81
- OS/2) and the correction of unicode slots assigned to
82
- the contour integrals (glyphs `clockwise contour
83
- integral', u+2232, and `anticlockwise contour
84
- integral', u+2233, used to have swapped slots).

- The TeX Gyre Math Project was launched and is supported by
89
- TeX USERS GROUPS (CS TUG, DANTE eV, GUST, NTG, TUG India, TUG, UK TUG).
