Are you hoping for these in the Math font, specifically, or in the four Text fonts too?

For the record, I would like to extend the Greek support in the Text fonts to full polytonic.

NDPtype commented 1 year ago

Both Math and Text.

Also, can Digamma(Ϝ) be seperated as F?

Ϝ is better to have 2 "dropping hooks", especially the lower one.

Not sure I understand. Can you post a sketch of how you think this should look, or images of the uppercase Digamma in use in a math context, so I can understand the conventional form?

Outside of a math context, Digamma is usually identical to the Latin letter F, i.e. in a serif typeface with typical serif pattern established in the Epsilon E. Of course, in those contexts, there is no need to distinguish Digamma from F, since the latter does not occur in Greek text.

[…] I would like to extend the Greek support in the Text fonts to full polytonic.

With polytonic Greek and some more IPA symbols, STIX Two would be even more attractive for adoption by universities.

An iota subscript would be especially nice.

We would need to design a set of polytonic marks tailored to the STIX Two Greek. Certainly doable, and something I agree would be a good extension to the fonts.
