no. and there's little prospect of it that i can detect. the only
public-spirited person who's done this in the recent past is taco
hoekwater, and he's currently got his hands full with a set of fonts
for the stix project -- unicode maths, that is.
there is talk in cyrtug of doing the conversion using a new approach,
but there are more new problems being found than solutions just now.
sasha berdnikov gave a presentation of the project at tug2000.
