This is not seen in any other fonts and Wikipedia

The standard tail of 𝜇 should be straight

aaronbell commented 1 year ago

Actually, many other fonts have a curving weight / curve to the descender.

Also the Greek has been reviewed by several Greek type experts who have not had an issue with the design :)

For the italic, there is a standard italic and a cursive variant accessible via ss01 (see below).

can the straight descender be introduced as a variant in ss01? same issue for beta and eta
