Dear all,
I'd like some advice on the use of math fonts with XeLaTeX. I wish to
use either of the two following configurations for the main text, and
the default Computer Modern font in the equations seems too light in
comparison,
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec,xltxtra,xunicode}
\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text}
\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{Minion Pro}
\setromanfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Minion Pro}
\setsansfont[Scale=MatchLowercase]{Myriad Pro}
\setmonofont[Scale=MatchLowercase]{Andale Mono}
\begin{document}
some text $some maths$. Latin: $abcd$. Greek: $\alpha\beta\Gamma\Delta
$. Operators: $2\times3\circ5$.
\end{document}
or
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec,xltxtra,xunicode}
\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text}
\setromanfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Hoefler Text}
\setsansfont[Scale=MatchLowercase]{Helvetica}
\setmonofont[Scale=MatchLowercase]{Andale Mono}
\begin{document}
some text $some maths$. Latin: $abcd$. Greek: $\alpha\beta\Gamma\Delta
$. Operators: $2\times3\circ5$.
\end{document}
Could someone help me choose a font that would be a good match with
these for the mathematics? I'm not quite sure what are the free
options, and what commands to use.
I've seen mention of the MnSymbol package, or the Asana-math fonts,
but I couldn't understand how to use them with XeLaTeX.
Many thanks,
Baptiste
