While discussion the issue with the unicode-math maintainer the question came up if mathalphabets like \mathrm etc should better use mode=node or mode=base. Do you have recommendation?
not really as i have no clue how he implements math alphabets
Imho like in traditional tex as new math family with \newfam etc.
From the output there is a clear difference, only with base mode one gets ligatures and kerning.
$\mathtestnode{VA fin}$ (node mode: without ligature and kerning) $\mathtestbase{VA fin}$ (base mode: with ligature and kerning) But I'm not sure which output is the typographically sounder one. -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/
