The STIX Fonts project or Scientific and Technical Information Exchange (STIX), is a project sponsored by several leading scientific and technical publishers to provide, under royalty-free license, a comprehensive font set of mathematical symbols and alphabets, intended to serve the scientific and engineering community for electronic and print publication.
The following table lists many common symbols, together with their name, how they should be read out loud, and the related field of mathematics. Additionally, the subsequent columns contains an informal explanation, a short example, the Unicode location, the name for use in HTML documents, [1] and the LaTeX symbol.
The font can be used to typeset mathematics in Unicode using the free typesetting systems XeTeX and LuaTeX, derivatives of TeX, and with Microsoft Office 2007. It was the first free font that could be used instead of Microsoft's Cambria Math with these applications. [citation needed]
The XITS font project is an OpenType implementation of STIX fonts version 1.x with math support for mathematical and scientific publishing. [1] The main mission of the Times -like XITS typeface is to provide a version of STIX fonts enriched with the OpenType MATH extension.
Mathematical OpenType typefaces have significant coverage of the symbols defined in the Unicode Technical Report #25 (Unicode Support for Mathematics), and provide advanced layout features using the MATH OpenType table and math OpenType script supported by Office 2007. They have been added to the ISO OpenType standard in April 2014 .
The Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-B block (U+2980–U+29FF) contains miscellaneous mathematical symbols, including brackets, angles, and circle symbols. Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-B [1] Official Unicode Consortium code chart (PDF)
