Seems like a good idea, but it's harder than it sounds. Here is what I
tried:
-Load MnSymbol12 in FontForge
-Run the script (by Florian, see email from 20. Feb 2011)
-Merge in Minion Pro (all of it :D )
-Generate OTF
...but the font (I also renamed it to be sure) does not show up in the
output. Instead LM-Math is used.
If someone succeeds, please let me know how you did it.
