Just to understand a bit more : signs like equal are printed inside math
environment with GFS Didot thanks to \definetypeface[myface][rm][Xserif][GFS
Didot]. Since GFS Didot ,as a greek font has greek letters, why are these
glyphs not used ? I suppose that when greek people are using directly alpha
as a letter (not \alpha), it should take into account the GFS Didot font,
shouldn' it ?
