Dear all,
As I'm a fanatic a beautiful typography, I'm following your work on pdftex with great attention, especially enjoying the pdftex extensions already implemented (microtype and all the hz stuff).
Anyway, I'm wondering if you plan to extend pdftex in order to improve the mathematical typography of TeX. I'm developping a big set of mathematical fonts (called mathdesign) and I'm quite aware of the problems of TeX in this domain.
I've precise points in mind: mathematical accents, radical with left and right delimiters, and, of course, the insufficiencies of the tfm format. But you already know that better than me.
So, this is my question: is it planned to improve some of these points in the future ?
if you can point out the specific things that you want to be supported, the pdftex dev team can look into it after all, pdftex is also a playground for new tex functionality (within reasonable bounds) Hans
