Generating a ttf from cmex10.sfd would fix bug 6115, but unfortunately I am
unable to export a ttf with the same settings as the existing one, so this has
still to be done.
After the str-metrics merge, the kludge for displaying symbols whose
code point corresponds to a soft-hyphen was not working anymore.
The solution is replicating the offending glyphs with index 0x00ad
at a different index. They were replicated at 0x00ac, whose glyph
was missing in all affected fonts.
However, this would not work by alone because, if a system font with
same family name exists, it would be picked up instead of the right one
(at least on non-Windows platforms). For this reason, the style of the
fonts has been changed from "Regular" to "Lyx", so that we can discriminate
the right font. However, this requires using at least Qt 4.8. If an
older Qt is used *and* a system font with same family name is already
available, the affected glyphs will all turn out on screen as the
"logical not" symbol.
I have also set the executable flag on the font files, because on Windows
they are loaded only in this case.
This solves #9229.
The stmaryrd package adds support for lots of math symbols, using a font
designed to accompany the computer modern fonts. The changes in detail:
- Fix generate_symbols_list.py to work with stmaryrd.sty. It loooks like it
was automatically translated from a perl version and never used.
- Generate the new symbols in lib/symbols using generate_symbols_list.py and
add some manual adjustments
- Generate stmary10.ttf by a simple ttf export from stmary10.sfd with fontforge
- Add license info for stmary10.ttf
- Create a test file with all symbols from stmaryrd.sty. Actually it would be
nice to have this for the other fonts as well.
- The mechanics: lyx2lyx, tex2lyx, font machinery etc.
Without this, qt will enlarge some glyphs out of proportion (no, I don't
understand why it does this, and I found out by accident how to avoid it).
Still, the vertical alignment is only roughly correct (also for the untouched
glyphs). If somebody cares some fine adjustment would be nice.
Use a 1:1 unicode "encoding" as for all other math symbol fonts.
This is not correct for using the font outside of LyX, but in LyX we misuse
the first 255 code points for symbol fonts (see code points of existing fonts
in lib/symbols). These code points are identical with the postscript versions
of the fonts, so if qt was able to use postscript fonts, they could be used
instead of the truetype versions.
The character varcurlywedge is duplicated at position 254, since qt refuses to
display a font at the tab position (9).
In addition, get rid of the broken private directory which is not needed for
generating ttf.
Add rsfs10.ttf generated from CTAN's rsfs fonts.
This is really beautiful script.

The \dotsint glyph is remapped to an unsed code point in the
font such that to maintain compatibility with the TeX font
and convince Qt4 to show the glyph.
