I have found Gentium to be a nice free alternative font for my documents. I was wondering why the Greek symbols don't get used in documents which use Gentium. They sem to use the same cmr fonts for the math parts. Is it expected to work that way, or is there a way to get the Gentium symbols?
My type-sil-gentium.tex has this line, if that's relevant.
\definetypeface[sil-gentium][mm][math][default][default][encoding= \defaultencoding]
Only a hint, because nobody answered: - the definetypeface line (looks like mine...) chooses the "default" math font, i.e. CM or LM - Greek characters are always taken from the math font (remember: normal TeX knows only 256 characters per font) - I don't know much about math fonts (seldom need them), but I guess you must create a virtual font that takes Greek from Gentium and the other symbols e.g. from Euler (IMHO Euler looks softer than CM and thus fits better with Gentium). - see http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Math#Math_Fonts, esp. http:// homepage.mac.com/atl/tex/EulerContext.pdf I'm not aware of a tutorial (or other simple/compiled docs) about "how do I create my own math font for ConTeXt".
