Inconsistencies for unicode frak, bfrak, scr and bscr letters about juliamono HOT 15 CLOSED

Good idea. Now we have:

from juliamono.

No problem - I'm just glad someone's using it! :) I'll have a look at them soon. (I don't think they look so bad on my machine, but I'll investigate... :)

Maybe someone just has to write a JuliaTerminal as well 😆

Interesting. I was checking them against the Julia manual - are these wrong - when I type \frakA or \frakN in the REPL?

julia> '𝔄'
'𝔄': Unicode U+1D504 (category Lu: Letter, uppercase)

julia> '𝔑'
'𝔑': Unicode U+1D511 (category Lu: Letter, uppercase)

What do you mean by wrong? The unicode tables for these math fonts are sometimes a bit odd in that they have some holes, where characters already had a codepoint in previous versions, so the codepoints aren't always together.

from juliamono.

This is a bit of a puzzler. But given that this is a Julia-oriented font, I'm thinking to defer to Julia's way of obtaining these characters, rather than extracting Unicodes directly like you do:

These look more correct?

(Not shown are \\Im and \\Re.)

from juliamono.

I am pretty sure those should be the same, but perhaps I got something wrong? These look great now! (BTW, how are you getting the script h? Apparently, Julia doesn't have \hscr, only \planck, which I believe is the proper substitution.)

from juliamono.

I think that's \scrh. There is a \planck but it looks just like an ordinary 'h' to me (although they're different glyphs). I suppose I could make \planck a bit more italic ...

from juliamono.

I think that's \scrh

🤦 I confused it with \ith, which Julia indeed doesn't complete. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_Alphanumeric_Symbols#Latin_letters lists it as lowercase italic h though, so it should probably fit in with the other italic characters.

from juliamono.

I shall give the planck constant (and planck constant over two pi, U+210F) some right-shift...

from juliamono.

\planck still looks a bit out of place with the other \it* characters:

Would it be possible to add some serifs as well?

from juliamono.

It's now almost completely perfect! Only some bscr and scr characters still differ in size a bit (I know, I'm greedy! 😇):

I wonder whether the larger ones could be made a bit smaller.

from juliamono.

On my Mac at least, kitty is the odd-one out - it seems to rescale some of the characters, perhaps to keep them inside the bounding box.

The other applications are happy for the glyphs to slightly overlap their boundaries if required to do so.

from juliamono.

Perhaps this is the issue: kovidgoyal/kitty#2272 (comment)

kitty uses a character grid display for performance reasons and because it fits with what a terminal actually is supposed to be. It's never going to have good support for extremely complex scripts, because they simply cannot be rendered in a character cell manner. That said, I dont know what the issue with this particular script is, I will investigate, when I have some time.

Would it make sense to open an issue there?
