Yes, one workaround is to quit math mode. The other to use fonts in
mode "base". But I would like to understand why workarounds are
needed at all.
because opentype math fonts are just math fonts (simple for text, rich
for math)
But there is no math font involved. This latex example
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\begin{document}
VA $\mathrm{VA}$
\end{document}
uses exactly one font:
But outside math it is kerned, inside not.
And this plain tex example doesn't use math fonts either.
\input luaotfload.sty
\font\Urm=Arial:mode=node;script=latn;language=DFLT;+tlig;+trep;
\textfont0\Urm
\Urm VA $\fam0 VA$ %no kerning in math
\font\Urmbase=Arial:mode=base;script=latn;language=DFLT;+tlig;+trep;
\textfont0\Urmbase
\Urm VA $\fam0 VA$ %kerning in math
\bye
(I used Arial so that one can see clearly that a text font is used)
