New on CTAN: lua-unicode-math
by CTAN Announcements 13 Dec '25

13 Dec '25

Marcel Krüger submitted the lua-unicode-math package. Version: 0.2 2025-12-11 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: OpenType Math font support for LuaLaTeX Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Modern LaTeX engines support Unicode based input and Unicode based fonts in the OpenType format, making LaTeX more compatible with newly developed fonts. OpenType also supports mathematical fonts containing a special MATH table to contain metrics needed for mathematical typesetting. These fonts offer many advantages over traditional TeX math fonts, including a very big selection of available symbols and better accessibility support. These fonts can be used in LaTeX with the unicode-math package, which comes with a significant performance overhead and is incompatible with other math fonts. lua-unicode-math is an experimental package to provide a faster alternative in LuaLaTeX which integrates better with LaTeX’s internal support for math families and therefore also makes it easier to combine it with traditional font packages. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/lua-unicode-math The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/luatex/latex/lua-unicode-math/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
