I was going to suggest using mathspec instead, but I remembered that recent revisions of unicode-math (version 0.4) include the capability to mix-and-match fonts. One of those two packages should work for the OP. (I’m actually quite curious to see these at work; has anyone successfully used, e.g., the Lucida math fonts, with either mathspec or unicode-math?) —Joel Salomon -- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex

I think that the point was that that version of Garamond is quite
different from Adobe's - though perhaps it's close enough for this
purpose? As to MathKit, I wondered exactly the same thing a little while
ago and contacted the author. He said that he'd not really used it for
ages (since he'd generated the fonts he wanted) and thus couldn't really
support it. Something else to be aware of is that the files generated
using MathKit fonts are pretty big (for decent res bitmap fonts) and
display pretty badly in many environments. I looked briefly into using
MathKit in conjunction with MetaPost, but there are problems there
(possibly surmountable).
The solution that I eventually went for was to use Euler and scale it
appropriately - I'm happy with this, but I know that it's not everyone's
cup of tea.
Hope that helps,
David

I haven't use MathKit but it seems this does not create the \int, \partial and other similar symbols. It just replaces, the various alphabets.

[XeTeX] Maths font for Adobe Garamond
Dear all, I would like to have a maths font aesthetically compatible with Adobe Garamond to use with XeTeX, a problem already solved for LaTeX: http://www.lagom.nl/latex/agaramond.html using a certain "MathKit" utility. Unfortunately, the files provided in that solution fail to work on my system, as I can neither find the precise font used by the author, nor do the variants of Garamond on my system come in the pfb-afm format. Instead: ~> ls .fonts/AGaramond* .fonts/AGaramondPro-BoldItalic.otf .fonts/AGaramondPro-Italic.otf .fonts/AGaramondPro-Bold.otf.fonts/AGaramondPro-Regular.otf Do you have any suggestions as to how one would proceed to generate a maths font as in the solution above beginning from a batch of *otf files? For example, does anyone have experience with MathKit for OpenType fonts? Thank you in advance, Thanos -- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
