From the ticket:
"The result is now still too wide, but that is truly cambria's fault: the
integrals have large italic corrections while in fact they fit in their
bounding boxes."
This isn't Cambria's fault per se, as any font that is to be used with
MS Office as well is going Cambria's route (so does Asana Math and my
two math fonts.)
So, IMHO this should be the default behaviour for new math fonts, and
old TeX fonts pretending to be new math fonts should compensate for
this, not the other way around.
well, as long as there is no standard saying "for integral glyphs (of
any size) you need to subtract the italic correction from the width" we
cannot say that this is "expected behaviour"
the fact that Asana etc follow cambria in this is not making it a
standard either; at least with tex we're able to deal with such bugs and
i'm pretty sure that other applications also hav ebuilt ion
compensations and fixes
if we end up in some 'we mimick the first font using some kind of otf
technology' approach even if it concerns bugs, then what's a standard
worth (in that respect open type is already a bit of a mess anyway)
