Minion Math does appear to be ideal for this application.

However, given current budget constraints, it is unlikely that my
department can purchase Minion Math for this project (an open-access
academic journal). We already own Minion Pro. Thus my interest in MnSymbol.

If adding MnSymbol support were only a matter of tedious manual labor, I
would be willing to give it a try, but without an understanding of font
internals I don't know where to start. Perhaps someone can suggest
resources for learning?

Also, I see that there are MnSymbol files in
http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/fonts/extra/mnsymbol/ but these
don't appear to be included in my ConTeXt Standalone installation. Does
anyone know about them?
