Dear all, As you know, the goal of the STIX project is to deliver a comprehensive set of free fonts (appr. 2000 symbols). Still, STIX has not yet started the actual development, but we at Elsevier Science (STIX member) wend a bit ahead and we developed some 900 symbols in TT and Type1 for 'standard' use (that is: for non-TeX applications). This Elsevier set will be part of the final STIX set. Like the final STIX set, this intermediary Elsevier set is, and will remain completely free for every kind of use and distribution (so you might want to distribute them with Amaya). We are trying to get as much as possible feedback from all MathML software developers. So, we would appreciate it if you could have a look at the set or even test it in Amaya and give us your feed-back. Your input will be important for further requirements and changes. We made some initial decisions in the development process and wonder if that would be problematic for implementation/use in Amaya. They are: - Metrics: are they OK? - Non-UNICODE (because not all symbols were accepted by the UTC; same for pieced symbols): should we already change to UNICODE at this time? - Number/sizes of pieced symbols: are they sufficient? You can find the font set at: ftp://ftp.elsevier.nl/pub/styles/esstix/esstix.zip Thanks.
