I've updated the page, (it's in UTF-8 so the symbols should show if you
have a good browser), it's at

Seems like a good place to look, but my primary goal was to make a
mapping from LaTeX to Unicode, so that LyX could be enhanced to show
more mathematical symbols on screen if the user had a decent Unicode
fons with the math symbols installed, using the symbol font as a
fallback.

Great! What I really need is a TrueType (or similar) font with all the
math and symbols from unicode. All I have now is the Gnu Unifont
(http://czyborra.com/unifont/), but it's only 8x16 pixels.
The TrueType font should be legible on screen though, most typesetting
fonts aren't.
