I'd like advice on how some Adobe fonts interface with some software on the Mac. The Symbol font has some shortcomings when used for equations. The Fall 1990 Font & Function mentions two fonts that could possibly used in place of Symbol: Mathematical Pi and Lucida Math. Mathematical Pi looks much more "complete", but Lucida Math has relatives in Lucida and Lucida Sans which make it attractive in some ways. Do either of these fonts function as a "replacement" for Symbol? In particular, will applications like Expressionist, MathType, and FrameMaker be able to use them? What about TeXtures and Oztex? In general, is there any sort of standard about placement of symbols for "math" fonts?
