Math Font Group (MFG) - Homepage

Joint LaTeX3 Project / TUG Technical Working Group
on Extended Math Font Encodings

The Math Font Group (MFG) is a joint venture of the LaTeX3 Project and the TeX Users Group Technical Working Group on Extended Math Font Encoding.

The MFG intends to set a number of new standards for TeX math fonts and to deliver a number of tools to support the new standards.
