I found it matched with Charter really well, and after that, found that other people on the net seem to agree with me. I had followed up this email with the attached minimal test. It doesn't give the glyphs I expect. I've tried all sorts of combinations to try to trigger the math symbols in math-eul, but I don't get any closer than this.
