In Julia language, it support to typing those latex symbols and convert it to the relative unicode font. I found some symbols can not correct display in JetBrainsMono font,

  1. Is it possible including all of them?
  2. If it is impossible, what's the policy

Hi @dlintw Can you please make a list of symbols that you have problems with?

Following the link, I see a lot of symbols and it will be hard to support them all. So to understand your request better, I need to know the exact number of symbols requested, and can they can be separated in groups and given priority depending on their importance/frequency of usage.

I haven't a clear idea about this. Maybe require more Julia expert to decide which symbols are important. I guess those operators may require included. Maybe from JetBrain's Julia customer survey may get a proper listing.
