How should we define trypescripts to avoid interference then?
A typeface definition normally has a matching monospace and math definition
(so: ss + tt + mm or rm + tt + mm or in some cases rm + ss + tt + mm). Of
course some relative scaling has to be considered then.
Do you want to say that we need an explicit definition of LM Math?
Just curious: how much information is missing/how much would would it
be if we would want to create a virtual math font by combining LM +
populating italic/bold/bold italic latin and greek math alphabets from
text font? Would that look horrible because of lack of information
about glyph metrics?
that is relatively easy: just make a lfg file that contains the
specification (and choose some math font that suits)
my guess is that it will look bad in most cases
we might consider making a sort of generic partial math font (maybe even
needs to be designed) that sort of fills in the usual bits and pieces
(root signs, arrows etc) in a way that matches an average font
(we probably need a few weights then)
of course that would only work for not too fancy math
