I’ve started work on a font for logic, set theory, and mathematics notation. It’s derived from the wonderful Gentium font and licensed under the SIL Open Font License, which, in a nutshell, makes it free, embeddable, and derivable, as long as it stays under the same license.
Basically, I took Gentium, weeded out some characters to make things manageable (Gentium has a lot of glyphs!), created some notation glyphs, and then kerned the hell out of the whole thing. (And auto-hinted it.) It’s very much in its infancy, but you can check out this sample PDF to see how it looks in action.
Download Geekium (TTF) and/or the Geekium FontLab source file, and let me know what you think. I’ll be working on refining the new glyphs, adding even more glyphs, and tweaking the kerning, and I’d be happy to hear suggestions as to how to proceed. Happy nerding!
