Dear all, I wrote an account of my current understanding of handling of fonts in TeXmacs (at the C++ level). You can find it here: It documents the various font classes and the resolution of TeXmacs entities into glyphs, according to my understanding. I would like to write some more about the Scheme interface to the font database, but at the moment I think I need more study to do this. I plan another article on math typesetting. This is some preparatory work I’m doing before trying to complete the support of OpenType math fonts and other enhancements in this direction (e.g. I would like to be able to use “old numerals” when available in font files). It seems that there is now a wide selection of OpenType fonts, e.g. a relatively long and detailed list is here: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/425098/which-opentype-math-fonts-are-available would be great if we will be able to use most of them. I’ve initiated some work in this direction a couple of years ago and recently Ke Shi has done some more work and integration in Mogan for OSPP 2024. However still some more work and consolidation is needed before we can reliable use most of the OpenType math fonts without hard-coded support in the C++ code. Best Max |
