I'm sorry, I figured my notice was sufficient for those with interest in this
kind of exact science support.
I'm merely a bystander whom, having worked for a library and doing MathML
work, experienced first-hand how sad the state of freely available science
fonts is.
I posted to the list since they're basing this all on the Unicode standard and
as such the expertise here is huge to beta test this font now before it gets
released and used.
Hope this clears up some things...
