Feature request: larger operators variant

[tytyvillus]

I’ve been using Garamond Math for some months now to my great pleasure. One thing I’ve found, however, is that operators and relations like ∪, +, = etc. are a little small with respect to other founts, and I think it makes equations a little bit harder to read. Would it be possible — if it’s not too much work — to have a stylistic set where these are a little larger?

Compare the images below: the first one has the same line first in Garamond Math then in Latin Modern Math. You’ll notice that ×, ∪ and = are ever so slightly larger in the second line. The symbols could even be a little larger, as in the second image taken from an XVIIIᵗʰ-century book.

cf. alif-type/libertinus#63, firamath/firamath#39.

I do not think a new stylistic set is necessary -- just modifying the current glyph is better. But please give me some time as I have beem very busy recently. Also it might take some effort to make everything looks consistent.

[tytyvillus]

The current symbols look perfectly reasonable for prose-based arithmetic — perhaps consider keeping them as an additional stylistic set. Take as long as you need ;)

[YuanshengZhao]

The new symbols are in ss11. I will leave this issue open until (I think) the symbols are complete and consistent.

Sorry if this is a silly question, but has the .otf file been updated with the new operators?

Thank you

Not yet (you may check it at this link, it's still at 0c0f55c).

I see, thank you.
