# Garamond-Math Ver. 2019-02-05

Garamond-Math is an open type math font matching the EB Garamond (Octavio Pardo) and EB Garamond (Georg Mayr-Duffner). Many mathematical symbols are derived from other fonts (see below), others are made from scratch. The metric is generated with a python script.

## Notes

• Important notes for this version
• Fixed various wrong mappings, add italic h.var.
• Fraktur is (temporarily) not supported, Because (1) Originally they come from Gyre Termes Math and GUST and OFL are not completely compatible; (2) The glyphs are not modified at all, so there is in principle no need to include it (one can use range option in unicode-math)
• Default \mathbb is swapped with original StylisticSet=1.
• Blackboard (\mathbb):
• Glyphs based on XITS Math are also available. However, the crossings and endpoints of strokes are rounded to fit the style of EB Garamond. They can be accessed via StylisticSet=1.
• Script (\mathscr):
• Default glyphs are from XITS Math. The weight (especially for bold) and crossings and endpoints of strokes are modified.
• CM glyphs with a little modification are also available with StylisticSet=3
• Sans serif, typewriter: from Libertinus Math. This font has low x-height as Garamond do, though the bold italic Greeks are unavailable.
• Other glyphs available: display \int, \sum, \underbrace, big delimiters, \widehat, arrows, binary relations derived, circled characters, etc, from the original EB Garamond.
• Stylistic sets: (StylisticSet={#1,#2,...} in unicode-math package)
- 1 → XITS Blackboard \mathbb.
- 2 → Curved \partial, which is in style with almost all other fonts.
- 3 → CM \mathcal (lowercase unavailble)
- 4 → Use semi-bold for \symbf
- 5 → Use extra-bold for \symbf
- 6 → horizontal "bar" for \hbar
- 7 → \int variant
- 8 → Garamond-compatible \mathcal (experimental)
- 9 → \tilde variant
- 10 → out-bending italic h

## Known Issue

• Currently only usable for XeTeX (with unicode-math). OTHER ENGINES (EX. LuaTeX, MS Word) WILL PRODUCE VERY BAD SPACINGS.
• Various spacing problems. Though math fonts technically should not be kerned, some pairs looks very ugly (Ex. VA); sometimes sub/superscript may also have same problem.
• Fake optical size. EB Garamond does not contain a complete set of glyphs (normal + bold + optical size of both weights). The "optical size ssty" is made by interpolating different weights at the present (without this, the double script is too thin to be readable).

## Technical Staff

• This font is still under development, any components might be updated at any time. Issues, bug reports, forks and other contributions are welcome.
