    Summary description: OpenType Math font support for LuaLaTeX

    Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Modern LaTeX engines support Unicode based input and Unicode based
    fonts in the OpenType format, making LaTeX more compatible with
    newly developed fonts.
    OpenType also supports mathematical fonts containing a special
    MATH table to contain metrics needed for mathematical typesetting.
    These fonts offer many advantages over traditional TeX math fonts,
    including a very big selection of available symbols and better
    accessibility support.
    These fonts can be used in LaTeX with the unicode-math package,
    which comes with a significant performance overhead and is
    incompatible with other math fonts.
    lua-unicode-math is an experimental package to provide a faster
    alternative in LuaLaTeX which integrates better with LaTeXrCOs internal
    support for math families and therefore also makes it easier to
    combine it with traditional font packages.
