Nice! How did you do the color coding? > If you want to see the slanted versions for alpha and beta, > it is best to set the family to T and select TinosR as the > main font. But this gives you the Greek characters of the Symbol font. Since Tinos also has Greek characters, it would be nice to use the italic Tinos Greek for the math. Could you maybe try the trick of telling eqn chartype "letter" \[*a]\[*b]\[*g]\[*d]\[*e]\[*z] chartype "letter" \[*y]\[*h]\[*i]\[*k]\[*l]\[*m] chartype "letter" \[*n]\[*c]\[*o]\[*p]\[*r]\[*s] chartype "letter" \[*t]\[*u]\[*f]\[*x]\[*q]\[*w] at the beginning (in the first EQ/EN pair)? Attached is my own experiment of using a different Greek font (GFS Didot) for the math. Unfortunately I do not speak Greek, so I have no idea whether the text is typeset correctly, but I think the Greek typeface looks very nice. I did the color coding by inserting color commands into the intermediate output wherever a font change occurred. The colors are: red: Roman blue: Italic green: Symbol (The fraction bar is not from a font, but drawn as a line while the blue color was active.)
