Math fonts vary greatly in their coverage and there is no clear cut what a math symbol and what is not. I don’t know if MathClass-XX.txt is used in anything in practice, but I guess we can make an orthography file out of it and test it with the existing math fonts, possibly reducing it until we get them all covering math.

Added und_zmth.orth to git.

I couldn't test with Cambria Math, Minion Math and Lucida Math. if anyone can do that, that would be appreciated.

Cambria Math, Minion Math, Lucida Math and Libertinus Math (https://github.com/khaledhosny/libertinus) don’t seem to be recognized as math fonts.

Thank you for testing. adjusted orth for Libertinus Math. can you give me a log for fc-validate -l und-zmth for Cambria Math and Minion Math? so I can improve it much more...

meant fc-validate -l und-zmth -v /path/to/font

Minion Math seems to be split into multiple font files and I’m not sure if my copy is the latest, so I suggest we ignore it for now.

Thank you. updated. hope I'm not missing anything else.

All good now!

Any other math fonts we should support? maybe getting rid of code points to add und-zmth to all of fonts that has "Math" in their family names isn't a realistic and ends up to have it in lang for non-math fonts. it has to be avoided. that said, if there are anything else having enough coverage to support, good to work before closing this.

I think the current orth files covers pretty much all publicly available OpenType math fonts. I’d have been inclined to say any font that has otlayout:math should be considered as math font, but I have seen broken fonts that has otlayout:math but no usable math support.

Okay. let's close this with it so far. we could revisit or do something on new one to polish the orth file as needed. thank you.
