While discussion the issue with the unicode-math maintainer the
question came up if mathalphabets like \mathrm etc should better use
mode=node or mode=base. Do you have recommendation?
not really as i have no clue how he implements math alphabets
Imho like in traditional tex as new math family with \newfam etc.
in that case only base mode will work as there is no callback doing text
there (makes no sense)
From the output there is a clear difference, only with base mode one
gets ligatures and kerning.
$\mathtestnode{VA fin}$ (node mode: without ligature and kerning)
$\mathtestbase{VA fin}$ (base mode: with ligature and kerning)
But I'm not sure which output is the typographically sounder one.
if one needs text in math then using a boxed approach calling some real
text fonts makes more sense
