[NTG-context] advice 4 math font

2012-07-20 Thread Andreas Mang
Hi there, I have a rather general question regarding the options for math fonts in ConTeXt. As I understand from reading older posts to this list, there are currently efforts for making either pagella math or an updated modern font available. I am looking into this for quite some time now, but
