Re: [XeTeX] fontspec's \setmathrm seems to have no effect
Hi Will, Thank you very much for your suggestion. I did see the mathspec package referenced in the unicode-math documentation. I will take a look at the mathspec documentation as well. mathspec less likely to conflict with other packages that also deal with this area... Since I have started using fontspec, I am trying to remove as many extraneous text and math related font packages as I can get away with. So for me personally, I would be looking for a rather complete math font solution which I might guess to be unicode-math. Basically when pdffonts gives me a list of all the fonts in one of my documents, I would like to see them all be OpenType unicode fonts and especially none of them be type-3 postscript fonts. My understanding is that type-3 fonts do not support hinting --- but I am no expert in this area.

Thank you Ulrike --- I have started using the unicode-math package. It works great. Your suggestion was very helpful.

[XeTeX] fontspec's \setmathrm seems to have no effect
When I use \setmathrm from the fontspec package to try to set the math
roman font, it doesn't seem to have any effect. Here an example:
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{texgyrepagella-regular.otf}% TeX-Gyre Pagella font (Roman font)
\setmathrm{texgyrecursor-regular.otf}% TeX-Gyre Cursor font (mono-spaced font)
%\setmathrm{Asana-Math.otf}%
\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}
\begin{document}
abcdefgh\\
$abcdefgh$\\
\fontspec{texgyrecursor-regular.otf}abcdefgh
\end{document}
* The first line is roman.
* The second line (in math mode) I would think should be mono-spaced
because of the \setmathrm command; but instead it seems to be maybe a
proportional computer modern font.
* The third line is mono-spaced as expected (because of the \fontspec command).
When I checked the pdf file using the program pdffonts
(http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/download.html) I got
VIWLPD+TeXGyrePagella-Regular-Identity-H CID Type 0C
JTLJYE+CMMI10Type 1C
UIRRAJ+TeXGyreCursor-Regular-Identity-H CID Type 0C
... but the JTLJYE seems to change for each xelatex compile.
So instead of the \setmathrm giving me the font I requested, I seem to
be getting a computer modern font. Why would this be???
Many thanks in advance,
Dan

Because you don't set your maths in \mathrm! The default for maths is a sans-serif font, because the text usually consists of a serif font. -- Greetings Pete If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure. – George W.

It depends which symbols you're talking about, but variables in math (at least in English-language documents) are normally set in italic by default. Roman is typically used for function names like sin and log. Sans-serif is rarely used in math; when it is, it's often for special kinds of variables, such as vectors (though other conventions are more popular for indicating vectors). -- Matthew Skala msk...@ansuz.sooke.bc.ca People before principles. http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/ -- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
