This should be one of the next steps, but I am not sure about the copyright
issues that came with Gonville. The website states that the font itself is
completely free, but the sources are under MIT licence, whatever that means.

Yes, of course. I didn't take a closer look at the Gonville installation

would share his/her exeriences with me.

Libertine is capable
of doing this job, the numbers for displaying fractions look very promising.
But this is indeed another issue ;-)
