math font fallback for palatino \cal

math font fallback for palatino \cal

Dear gang,

Using pagella (palatino) for a project here. Unfortunately  
texgyrepagella-math.otf has a rather unattractive set of \cal caps;  
schola, termes, bonum etc. all use the same and much better-looking set.

So I decided to try and define a palatino math set with the \cal caps from  
schola (= termes etc.). Succeeded after some trial and error: attached are  
the positive results. Others may find the experiment useful or even worth  
wikifying; it's a nice fallback exercise.

Maybe there is a better or more up-to-date way to do this: In any case,  
feel free to critique the attached.

Best wishes
Idris

Decided to support lower-case \cal as well;attached.

You can save a few lines for your font setup when you use the 
\definefontfamily and \definefallbackfamily commands.

\definefontfamily     [palatino_cg] [rm] [TeX Gyre Pagella]
\definefallbackfamily [palatino_cg] [mm] [TeX Gyre Schola Math] 
[range={lowercasescript,lowercaseboldscript,uppercasescript,uppercaseboldscript},force=yes]
\definefontfamily     [palatino_cg] [mm] [TeX Gyre Pagella Math]

\setupbodyfont[palatino]

\starttext

\m{\cal ABCDEFG \quad \bf ABCDEFG}

\switchtobodyfont[palatino_cg]

\m{\cal ABCDEFG \quad \bf ABCDEFG}

\stoptext

Wonderful, Wolfgang, just wonderful. Lots to learn and explore... And some  
info here:
