That's my understanding of it, yes.
Reading more about it yesterday, that does indeed sound non-optimal.
Can you say what the requirements would be for improving Palatino math
support would be?
(And have you tried my little typescript hack?)
For those trying to follow along:
Young Ryu's pxmath:
* Current ConTeXt choice
+ Complete AMS glyph coverage
- Some spacing bugs
- No longer supported, and deprecated in LaTeX world
Diego Puga's mathpazo:
* LaTeX's preferred choice (of free fonts)
+ heavily tested spacing
- only 'basic' math support
I think some sort of hybrid is possible. Without relying on virtual
fonts, it would be necessary to make a choice between the two blackboard
options.
