I was using newtxmath
with the libertine
option (so Linux Libertine) with pdflatex
engine before, but switched to unicode-math
in xelatex
.
newtxmath
provided me with a nice open italic g, which seem to be the preferred form for mathematics. I don't know how to get that with unicode-math
and the Libertinus math font (best choice for Linux Libertine). I dug in newtxmath.sty
but couldn't find any useful information of what the package does to get the open g. I searched through Linux Libertine glyph tables and couldn't find it either.
pdflatex
MWE with the desired open g:
\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage[libertine]{newtxmath}
\begin{document}
\(g\)
\end{document}
xelatex
/ unicode-math
MWE with regular g:
\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{unicode-math}
\setmathfont{Libertinus Math}
\begin{document}
\(g\)
\end{document}
Possible solutions I can think of:
- Analyse how
newxmath
creates the open g and use that - import the open g as vector graphics and make it a math letter, if possible
- Use just the open g of Linux Libertine (if there is one) together with Libertinus.
