Hello, <br><br>I have been developing a new layout environment using Adobe Minion Pro for the main body font. My document will include a significant number of math formulas. I found a thread from earlier this year on the possibility of adding support for the LaTeX MnSymbol font package in ConTeXt, and wondered if anyone has gone farther with this idea. <br>
<br>The last recommendation on the thread (<a href="http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2011/057426.html">http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2011/057426.html</a>) was to merge the Opentype MnSymbol font with Minion Pro using FontForge -- I tried that using the steps outlined, but reached the same obstacle mentioned by the last poster: the new (merged) font is not recognized by ConTeXt. <br>
<br>That approach  probably violates the Adobe font license anyway... <br><br>In a 2009 thread on dev-context, Wolfgang Schuster mentioned an attempt to create a virtual font and typescript for MnSymbol, but he encountered problems with Greek characters. (<a href="http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20091122.164136.5757ec1f.en.html">http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20091122.164136.5757ec1f.en.html</a>)<br>
<br>So, as I don&#39;t know how to proceed further, I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has experimented with MnSymbol support, or in finding out what specific steps would be involved in adding support. <br><br>
Also, any recommendations of other math fonts suitable for use with Minion Pro would be welcome. I am currently playing with XITS math, which is Times-like but not too bad a fit. <br><br>Thanks, <br>PPN<br clear="all"><br>
