Make \symbf and \symsf handle Greek italics as in LaTeX. #1061

Closed dpvc closed 6 months ago

dpvc commented 7 months ago

This PR allows \symbf and \symsf to put lower-case Greek letters into italics, as they do in actual LaTeX. These seem to be the only two of the \sym... macros that do (and the only two for which there are mathvariants that would work).

See this forum post.

I realize that these have been in MathJax already despite being from unicode-math (and xelatex/luatex land). We don't have those macros in https://github.com/AmerMathSoc/mathjax-unicode-math but I'm happy to add them there if that's helpful.

Thanks for the offer. I think we will leave them here for now. The base configuration does have a hodgepodge of pieces from various packages. At some point it might want to be straightened out, but not just now.
