[math-font-discuss] Modifying a font such that it can be used as mathfont in TeX

[Tobias Burnus]

Hi,

I'm interested in using the (GPL/OFL) Linux Libertine font
(http://linuxlibertine.sourceforge.net/) as maths font in TeX. I think
the font contains already a lot of what is needed (Latin and Greek
characters in roman, italic, bold and bold italic plus some operators),
but needs still some work to be useable for mathematics.

Is there somewhere a good documentation available on how to create an
Unicode mathfont suitable for TeX?

Phil Poll, who created the font is quite responsive about suggestions,
but does not know much about mathfonts.  (Not do I ;-)
