I'm using mathdesign package. Most features including greek fonts are satisfactory, however its alphabet math fonts look ugly. amsfonts package has standard good-looking fonts but its greek fonts are ugly. So I want to use mathdesign package with ams alphabet math fonts but they have conflict.

How can I use two different font packages?

------ Additional Question ---

Now I try to use GreekMathSymbols fonts for Greek symbol only.

\usepackage{unicode-math}
\setmainfont{EB Garamond}[Scale=MatchLowercase]
\setsansfont{Clear Sans}[Scale=MatchLowercase]
\setmathfont{Asana Math}
\setmathfont{GreekMathSymbols.ttf}[range=bfsfit/{greek,Greek}]

It works fine with Greek symbols But I want latin modern math for latin and numbers so I tried this one

\setmathfont{latinmodern-math.otf}
\setmathfont{GreekMathSymbols.ttf}[range=bfsfit/{greek,Greek}]

This time, Greek Symbols are changed to default fonts with following error message

** Font "GreekMathSymbols" does not contain requested(fontspec) Script "Math".

When the main math font is Asana Math, there was no such an error.

I found the answer

GreekMathSymbols.ttf doesn't have a math table - so I changed it to STIX Two Math

\setmathfont{STIX Two Math}[range=bfsfit/{greek,Greek}]

it didn't work,

option bfsfit should be changed to \mathit

finally

\setmathfont{Latin Modern Math}
\setmathfont{STIX Two Math}[range=\mathit/{greek,Greek}]

it works as I wanted

In unicod-math manual there is no explanation about \mathit option when selecting font range

Use Unicode fonts. Then you can choose really beautiful ones, there are multiple for any taste. You also will be able to mix fonts for different Unicode ranges.

\documentclass[12pt, twoside, paper = B5]{scrbook}

\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{unicode-math}

\setmainfont{Libertinus Serif}
\setmathfont{STIX Two Math}
\setmathfont{TeX Gyre Pagella Math}[range = \mdlgwhtsquare]

  • thanks a lot. I'll try. only problem is that these packages do not support PdfLatex.

    If you don't have a very serious reason to use pdftex, switch to LuaTeX.

    pdftex is really just for legacy 8-bit fonts from last century.

  • thank you for your comments. Pdflatex is a little faster when building but I'll move to LualaTex

    It's a very bold statement, and doesn't make sense without context given. Both engines use the same code for the TeX part. In general, if a package is implemented in Lua, it will be several times faster, than the same implemented in pure TeX. Moreover, because of TeX limitations, for certain functionality you must save intermediate results and run a TeX engine several times to achieve a goal. If something is implemented in Lua, you don't need to compile the same document sometimes 5 times over an over. Nowadays, more and more packages are switching to Lua.
