An updated survey of OpenType math fonts

Abstract

OpenType math fonts were introduced more than 15 years ago. Over the years, more and more math fonts have been developed and added to the font collection. In this paper, we review some of the more recent additions, comparing them to previous choices of OpenType math fonts such as Cambria, Lucida, Latin Modern, and TEX Gyre. In our analysis, we focus on completeness of math symbols and alphabets, and on design choices of math alphabets. A detailed technical study of glyph and font metrics is beyond the scope of this paper, but some aspects of this have been recently addressed by other contributions.
