Dear Aditya, I do think that your proposal would be of great help in writing mathematics. Indeed the use of different alphabets, or range of characters with different styles, depend on the fields of mathematics, so having a \setup command like the one you suggest would be wonderful. However,

I'll try once more to explain the setup. If I understand the unicode philosopy correctly, then we do not any font switching macros in math. If we want math italic A, we can simply type 0x1D434; if we want math bold A, we can type 0x1D400; and so on. One difficulty with this approach is that

This is a proposal for a new way of selecting math mappings in MkIV. I want to get input from other math users whether this syntax would take care of all scenarios or not. There are five different ranges in mathematics: - digits (0..9) - lower case Latin (abc..z) - upper case Latin (ABC..Z) -
