there is no real text support in math fonts ... it's alphabets ... the
fact that one shares e.g. a textfont in math mode with a regular text
font outside math is something traditional tex (and more a font design
and macro package issue that an engine thing)
just use a text font .. why does texinfo needs a math font? only for
math i assume
> Also, in script/calligraphic, STIX2 seems to have is the other way around relative stix-two-math.lfg: setting the feature 'ss01' yields the traditional English script style, whereas the default is the AMS calligraphic style.
that's also a design issue

personally i'd never use stix for something (one can use texgyre pagella
or termes)
> The feature 'ss07', smaller operators, might be nice to have, but U2205 looks strange, as the empty set symbol comes from a Danish ø, so deselecting just that one might be of interest.
one more reason for not using stix
