Matching math font?
mdeff opened this issue · 8 comments
As it stands, the template pairs the EB Garamond font for text with the Latin Modern Math font for math. Shouldn't it use the Garamond Math font for a better match? Though I'm unsure of its typographic quality.
That can be achieved with the unicode-math package as follows:
\usepackage{unicode-math}
\setmathfont{Garamond Math}A comprehensive list of OpenType math fonts (with rendered math) is available here.
The unicode-math package also allows unicode math input, i.e., $∫ λ ∈$ will render as $\int \lambda \in$.
Excellent point; have you tested this by any chance? Ideally, it should work almost the same for pdflatex, xelatex, and lualatex.
Yes, I've tested it for my PhD thesis with lualatex. I believe it should work the same for xelatex, while pdflatex probably requires the importation of the font package.
One caveat (AFAIU): using unicode-math will render math through the OpenType font engine instead of the TeX engine. That might break complex mathematics as the engine is surely less mature and tested.
Good point—maybe I'd rather add this to the FAQ, then. Can you post your current changes?
Adding the two lines above, as follows:
\ifxetexorluatex
\usepackage{unicode-math} % use OpenType instead of Tex for math
\setmainfont{EB Garamond}
\setmonofont[Scale=MatchLowercase]{Source Code Pro}
\setmathfont{Garamond Math}
\elseAwesome, thanks a lot! I use this now in the main template and added your name to the list of contributors.
Thank you Bastian!
