I understand that, but I don't know how important is "its own kerning and metrics". That is: I'm not sure if vf changes or adds some properties that are not present in original tfm files.
we use a regular termes as base font so that comes with kerning, marh characters seldom have kerning (a few have special puspose kerns)
I would say that what we need to do is "parse" the vf file (using vftothatweirdformat) and copy its contents to math-vfu. At least this can be done automatically and reliably without having to figure out what character comes where for dozens of fonts.
i dunno. these chars have no proper names and unicode points also, i think that most chars are just in tex's default mapping and maybe a few aren't (for instance the upright range can simply be mapped once we know in what font they are) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
