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.
I am not quite convinced yet. The MATH spec seems to disagree with both the font metrics and the actual behavior of Word. What would happen is Word 2010 (say) fixes that?
Until office2010 is released, office2007 is the standard implementation (well, windows 7 does math typesetting system wide, and the bundled Cambria exhibits the same behaviour, so I doubt there will be a change anytime soon.) I'll try to talk to Murray Sargent of MS, may be we can get more clarifications. Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer
