Non-math fonts suggested for math

[Enivex]

Description

Due to the presence of vestigial math tables, the following fonts are suggested for use as math fonts:

DejaVu Sans
Dejavu Serif
Linux Libertine
New Computer Modern
New Computer Modern Sans

This can be confusing, so they should perhaps be blacklisted somehow.

In the case of New Computer Modern, it might be a good idea to report the issue to the maintainer, since it's actively being maintained.

It's not a bug per se, but I don't think feature request is appropriate either.

The following New Computer Modern fonts have a MATH table, as of version 7.1.1:

• 8pt regular and italic
• 10pt book and bold both upright and italic
• Sans 8pt regular and oblique
• Sans 10pt regular, book, and bold all upright and oblique

I was not able to confirm nor deny whether the 10pt regular and italic fonts have a MATH table.

None of the other non-math font has a MATH table.

NewCM fonts will continue to have a MATH table for the time being: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/762050/is-italic-correction-used-in-text-mode-with-opentype-fonts.
