Script Small G (U+210A) is not really scripted #27

Open stone-zeng opened 5 years ago

stone-zeng commented 5 years ago

The Script Small G U+210A does not look like a script letter, but just a normal roman single-layer "g". Is this by design?

The first column is in TeX Gyre Termes, which is a Times-like font.

See https://github.com/firamath/firamath/issues/25.

not only this, it also seems to clash with the design of normal lower case g of FiraGO:

@stone-zeng Thanks for reporting. We’ll include it in the next update (collecting issues ...) @no-identd Yes, but these are totally different characters. The lower case g can have different shapes, due to the design of the typeface. So this one being double-storey is totally fine and not a . The "script g" (210A) literally must have a script shape (we took the "Italic" shape without angle as in 0261* which is obviously not scripty enough because the loop’s missing.)

*https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/0261/fontsupport.htm Also called "script g" but this one bares a loop, so at least it’s clear where the wrong shape comes from ;-)
