TeX - LaTeX Asked on July 16, 2021
I am trying to make a package that fully implements ISO 80000-2 notation recommendations for use in a physics book I am planning to write. These recommendations call for sans serif letters to represent tensors, for which bold is perfect when using coordinate-free notation. Unicode easily accommodates this. However, in physics many tensors (particularly in electromagnetic theory) are represented by Greek letters. Non bold (which I believe is called medium weight…correct me if I am wrong) characters are typically used in tensor index notation, and Unicode doesn’t officially provide them. This is problematic in physics because many tensors in electromagnetic theory (e.g. Levi-Civita, permittivity, permeability, susceptibility, polarizability) are notated with Greek letters and thus can’t be accommodated by the ISO 80000-2 recommendations. I am not going to argue whether or not ISO 80000-2 is correct, or even necessary, mostly because my arguments will carry very little weight. I want to implement very internally consistent notation in my work as easily as possible, thus my question.
Thanks to David Carlisle I recently learned that the STIX Two Math font includes the otherwise missing characters in the Private Use Area. The mwe shows the admittedly clumsy way I am currently accessing the necessary glyphs. My question is whether or not there is a better way to do it what will work well with ‘unicode-math.’
The MWE:
% !TEX program = lualatexmk
% !TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode
documentclass{article}
usepackage{geometry}
usepackage{mathtools}
usepackage{unicode-math}
unimathsetup{math-style=ISO}
unimathsetup{warnings-off={mathtools-colon,mathtools-overbracket}}
setmathfont[Scale=MatchLowercase]
{Latin Modern Math} % default math font; better J
setmathfont[Scale=MatchLowercase,range={"E17C-"E1F6}]{STIX Two Math}
newfontfamily{symsfgreek}{STIX Two Math}
% I don't understand why text{...} is necessary.
