I too would like to use Neo Euler for math but need some of the missing glyphs/symbols, like \angle and \triangle. What would the typescript look like to provide fallback to font for the symbols?
complex as original euler already misses many shapes and neo euler is work in progress
That is the reason for my question if the font fallback mechanism can work for math fonts also (as it does for, e.g., using different fonts for arabic and english). That will be much easier than building a virtual font.
it's not that trivial as there are more dependencies and things like extensible characters and accents and ....
Yes, but those are not necessarily needed.
(in fact, a virtual font has to be built, so it's then a wrapper around a similar vf builder as we already have; one option is to extend the current one with ranges)
Just having a basic fallback mechanism will be better than having no fallback. For example Euler has no blackboard black, is missing some arrows (not extensible ones, just regular arrows) and common symbols. Aditya
