Of the other fonts, STIX has very tall and narrow integral signs. There, Pagella looks better, but has strange looking Greek italic. There, Termes is even better, and nice weight on the sums, but has very narrow universal quantifiers. It has otherwise a nice weight in text boldface. Bonum has strange open Greek letters, and very thin, weird looking summation sign. I looked for serif DejaVu monospace, but could not find it: sans-serif thought to aid low resolution screens, but one is switching now. ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
