Oldstyle Figures needed #26

Open Mariusz-W opened 1 year ago

Mariusz-W commented 1 year ago

Garamond-Math more than any other Math font needs Oldstyle Figures as an option. None other Math font fits so well numerous Renaissance typefaces, and each of those classical fonts simply demands Oldstyle Figures. They were used both in text and in Mathematical formulae.

Unicode-Math has a mechanism to substitute Figures in a Math font from another font. Unfortunately, Garamond-Math displays very visible kerning problems, for example subscript ₁ , when it is taken from the text font.
