Hans, Taco, Mojca, and me.

and when it is going to fix it? (I mean days or monthes or years..)

Depends on what is broken. Lack of tex ligatures is most likely due to wrong typescripts. For the warning about missing unicode points, are you worried about the warning or some missing unicode symbols? Getting rid of the warnings is easy :-). Creating a virtual font for all tex fonts that has "complete" uniode coverage may take years. If there is a specific symbol/symbols that you find missing, that can be done in a day or two.

Right now our focus is on filling up the gaps in LM math virtual font. The tx/px vector is slightly different.


If it's gonna take too long, I would preferably fill the gaps by myself, just tell me where to dig ;)

char-def.lua + math-vfu.lua. For some details see my article on ConTeXt math in the current TUGBoat.

The most time conuming part is finding out which symbols lack coverage, their location in the tfm file, and their correct unicode location, and the convential tex name for it. Actually adding these details to the files is relatively straight forward.

the mkiv-math-team simply had no time yet to fill in some of the gaps in
the vector for tx / px
