Hi, Thank you for this document which will help many people, including me. Quick question : this document seems to have been written in the Pagella font : is this correct ? Why this choice : Personal ? The most complete and nice font ? Indeed.
Cambria is the reference of course but Pagella is free and we like it. We could have gone Lucida but it's not free either (but rather cheap and we fixed some in the process). Euler is also nice. We also had Bonum for a while (a bit bolder). Of course most fonts share alphabets. The Xits font is quite complete but kind of standard boring. We definitely will never for a can-of-worms sans for a document like this. That said: all fonts needed tweaks, some more than others, because there is the inconsistent curious mix of font parameters, traditional and opentype properties etc to deal with, much of which we published about in e.g. TB in the process (as well as in documents in the distribuition). There ars also math companion fonts in the distribition that fix consistency issues in fonts (we consider most to be frozen). Concerning complete: many unicode math characters are dubious and we wonder what they're used for, if at all while some other handy math symbols are missing.
