I need directions on how to get started with a virtual math font... I'd like to
take an existing math font, say Latin Modern, and replace certain glyphs by
their corresponding ones from an OpenType font, say Minion Pro. (Proper math
kerning won't be an issue at the moment since I'm having in mind a
proof-of-principle type of thing.) How would I do that?
It depends on your goal. For instance if you want to support minion
math, and it's not an otf font, then you need tfm with the right
metrics. Given that they are in default tex encoding, you then just need
to set up a virtual font definition (you can look into px-math.lfg to
see how that is done for palatino). If your fonts have lots of
exceptions you might need to create additional vectors.
