Access stylistic sets in lucidaot

Access stylistic sets in lucidaot

[Henri Menke]

Dear list,

I have been using the Lucida fonts for long time with LaTeX, either the
Type 1 version through the `lucimatx` package or the OpenType variants
with `unicode-math`.  In `unicode-math` there is a straightforward way
to select stylistic sets, e.g. alternative calligraphic glyphs.

By default the `lucidaot` typescript switches off the alternative math
italics, but I found a way to reenable them (basically just undoing what
the typescript does).

I only found this by chance; \setupmathrendering is not documented.  Is
there a more intuitive way to select the alternative math italics?
Also, is there an easy way to access all the other features defined in
`lucida-opentype-math.lfg`?  This is the list:

>     arrow        = { feature = 'ss02', value = 1, comment = "Mathematical Alternative Smaller Arrows" },
>     operator     = { feature = 'ss03', value = 1, comment = "Mathematical Alternative Smaller Operators" },
>     calligraphic = { feature = 'ss04', value = 1, comment = "Mathematical Alternative Calligraphic Characters" },
>     zero         = { feature = 'ss05', value = 1, comment = "Mathematical Alternative Zero" },
>     partial      = { feature = 'ss20', value = 1, comment = "Mathematical Alternative Upright Partial Differential" },
> },

Cheers,
Henri

I extended the mechanism a bit so in the next beta you can do 
combinations and a global setup:

\setupbodyfont[lucidaot]

\starttext

$x
    ^{i \leftarrow 0 = ∅}
    _{\setmathfontalternate{arrow}
      \setmathfontalternate{dotless}
      \setmathfontalternate{zero}
      i \leftarrow 0 = ∅}
$

$x
    ^{i \leftarrow 0 = ∅}
    _{\setmathfontalternate{arrow,dotless,zero}
      i \leftarrow 0 = ∅}
$

\setupmathematics[stylealternative={arrow,dotless,zero}]

$x
    ^{i \leftarrow 0 = ∅}
    _{i \leftarrow 0 = ∅}
$

\stoptext
