• With stix fonts, the integral sign doesn't scale up correctly, and the placement and maybe the sizes of the indices and derivative signs are incorrect.
If they did, then there wouldn't be any reason for xits to exits :)
Indeed… and you would have had less troubles :-)
I run your test and the lower case Greek is italic. The *script placement on the text integral is wrong, looks like the italic correction is either ignored or applied incorrectly.
Yes you are right, the lower case greek is italic in math mode, but I didn't pay attention to that. My point was rather on capital letters $\Omega$, $\Delta$, $\Pi$, \Sigma$, etc. Maybe the latter is the one which attracts more attention when not italicized, because of the possible confusion with $\Sum$.
IIRC, this has always been the case with TeX; upper case Greek is upright, the rest is italic. This is the default behaviour but you can change it: \setupmathematics [lcgreek=normal,ucgreek=normal]
I have also a question regarding the use of calligraphic script style, like the font rsfs, which are contained in xits and stix: how can one use them?
\cal ?
Oh, you are right… So xits fonts are really a wonderful set of fonts!
There is also an alternative upper case calligraphic alphabet, available as ss01 feature, though I don't know how to activate it. Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer
