I'm looking forward to see what comes of the STIX Fonts project which is
sponsored by IEEE, AMS, Elsevier, and others. I sent off an enquiry recently
to one of the IEEE members of that group and he told me that the glyphs
should all be done "by year end". Following that, they have to be package "as
Type 1, TrueType, OpenType, and TeX.". Then a lot of folks and interests have
to check them out ("authoring tools, page composition, and browsers"). My
guess is It will be about one year before these are in the public domain.
The link to the organization is http://www.stixfonts.org/
and the glyphs in hand can be viewed at http://www.stixfonts.org/project.html
by going to the AMS STIX project page. Hopefully, this will solve a lot of
incompatibility problems with font encoding. But then perhaps I'm an
optimist.
