You should be very careful by doing so. Math support is very different from standard text. It requires more parameters than normal text to determine the position of the glyphs (normal fonts won't contain these information). Yes, you can use these fonts, but for most of the time you will get ugly results. > BTW, what are the options for getting a unicode math font? There is an OpenType Math font naming Asana Math which is free available on CTAN. > Taking one from MS Office 2007? Yes.
