Yes - I think of an OTF font file as being like the score for a piece of music - it gets interpreted by different performers with different results, and...


I think the font selection code doesn’t find the NewComputerModern Italic easily, and defaults to Regular.

Thanks. Ideally better font routines would be added to Cairo rather than to all the packages that depend on Cairo. I think more investigations are needed. Thanks for the excellent...

Work that needs to be done to support MathTeXEngine v0.5.0 correctly might include: - integrating GeometryBasics.jl into Luxor * - integrating FreeType(Abstraction).jl into Luxor - adding call interfaces to Cairo.jl...

I was looking at Julius' work here - https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Makie.jl/pull/2139/files# - it seems to need stuff from FreeType and GeometryBasics. MTXE now references the font glyphs directly, by index, rather than...

The main thing I noticed (not being a Latex user) is that the italic fonts weren't found when the documentation job was run. I'm guessing that the use of FreeTypeAbstraction.jl...

~~If anyone has some spare time, please check the current master - I've tried to update it to find the fonts. Haven't yet addressed the glyph indices though...~~ ~~I think...

Thanks for looking anyway, @davibarreira ! It's difficult to get the right fonts on all platforms, and I'm seeing a strange vertical misalignment (eg i and π) which I can't...
