+\startchapter[title=What is there to tweak]
+
+We have written about our struggle to \OPENTYPE\ render math fonts well before,
+but here we will do it from the perspective of \LUAMETATEX\ and \CONTEXT\ \LMTX\
+combined with the fonts available in 2022. So what is the state of these fonts?
+The answer to this question is that now the landscape has settled we have a
+curious mix of old and new style fonts that has to be dealt with. Our answer to
+this is an updated math engine combined with (in \CONTEXT) tweaking font
+properties that we can (or will not) deal with in the engine: think of adapting
+dimensions, adding missing shapes, variants and extensibles, normalizing anchors
+and kerns. Before we discuss these in details let us look at what fonts we
+have.
+
+In 2022 we can distinguish several groups of math fonts. The first contains only
+one font: Cambria by \MICROSOFT. This is the reference font that more or less
+defines the standard and indicates how an \OPENTYPE\ math font is to be
+constructed. It has been stable for a long time and we don't see any development
+in it. In the meantime the specification has been improved but there is still
+room for interpretation.
+
+The second group consists if Latin Modern, Pagella, Termes, Bonum, Schola and
+Dejavu. These are the outcome of the \TEX Gyre project funded by user groups and
+conducted by the GUST foundation (Jerzy, Jacko and friends). In this project some
+choices were made that are reflected in todays versions. It is a mix between old
+school \TEX\ fonts (that were the starting point) and interpretation of the
+\quote {standard} that at that time to some extend had to be deduced from
+observing Cambria usage in MSWord.
+
+The third group started with the release of the \TYPEONE\ \STIX\ fonts that had
+been announced several times as the reference \UNICODE\ math coverage font. In
+order to check its promises those fonts were quickly converted into a useable
+\XITS\ \OPENTYPE\ math font by Khaled Hosny. It took a while before an official
+\STIX\ (two) showed up. In principle that font can replace \XITS\ now because
+\XITS\ is no longer maintained (but it remain useful as it is a good benchmark
+for \STIX). We also inherit some bidirectional elements of \XITS\ that we can
+inject into other fonts.
+
+A fourth group contains Erewhon, Kepler, XCharter, Concrete and Euler. These are
+existing fonts repackaged and fine-tuned by Daniel Flippo. At the time of writing
+this they are a bit in flux and getting better by the day.
+
+Then there are the commercial fonts. Most noticeable is Lucida by Biggelow and
+Holmes which is font expanded, maintained and distributed by \TUG\ derived from
+the original \TYPEONE\ fonts. When we were upgrading the math engine we were
+happy to be awarded the opportunity to improve the metrics (and some minor)
+details in order to bring down the quite extensive number of runtime tweaks
+needed. As a commercial font it stands out because there is an update policy, so
+we can trust fixes to be available to users. The complete \OPENTYPE\ Lucida font
+family is also dirt cheap compared to fonts with such a broad coverage. Another
+commercial math font is Minion Math by Johannes Küstler but we have limited
+possibilities to tweak that because one needs the font as well as the text
+minions. It doesn't make sense to spend much time on fonts that one can't use in
+(sample) documents and one cannot expect us to invest in fonts we can't use
+anyway, right? So where Lucida is extensively supported for other commercial
+fonts we just apply default tweaks to those fonts which is probably good enough.
+
+Group six contains the left-overs: Garamond and Libertinus. We also expect a Plex
+Math companion. Originally Asana was in this group but eventually we decided that
+it is unusable in practice, so we dropped support for that weird and visually
+inconsistent mix of fonts. We have to see how Computer Modern Book will fit in
+but as we can use Latin Modern with effects instead there is no hurry with that
+one. The mentioned Garamond (that is meant to be combined with EBGaramond) is a
+bit outlier in the sense that it has excessive amounts of variants and some
+shapes that might look okay in text but not so in math, but thereby it makes a
+good test case for tweaks.
+
+There are some other setups that we take into account, like Euler over Pagella and
+Pagella over Euler but these just use the tweaks that apply to either of them.
+
+\stopchapter
+
+\startchapter[title=Math fonts in \CONTEXT]
+
+In \MKII\ math fonts are set up in the traditional way and because all available
+fonts \TYPEONE\ are modelled after Computer Modern quite some definitions were
+needed to populate the math families: the basic foursome: roman, italic, symbol,
+extensible, as well as additional families that deal with additional alphabets.
+
+In \MKIV\ it became simpler: we went \UNICODE. Traditional fonts can be assembled
+into a virtual \UNICODE\ font at runtime. Loading now came down to just one font,
+or two when bold math is required. Because \XITS\ introduced right-to-left math
+we actually can kick in a a few more instances but it doesn't change the
+principles.
+
+In \LMTX\ we integrated bidirectional math in such a way that we now only need
+one instance and the new \LUAMETATEX\ engine also provides an alternative to the
+triple family model where text, script and scriptscript share the same font
+instance which further limits loading time, which in turn means that we can waste
+some runtime on tweaking.
+
+So indeed in \MKIV\ and \LMTX\ we can tweak fonts runtime: we patch them before
+passing them to the engine. What was still experimental in \MKIV\ has matured in
+\LMTX, also because now considerable time was spent on trying out and configuring
+tweaks. This made sense because by now we can consider the math fonts to be sort
+of frozen: we have to accept that and have to rely on these patches. That we
+divert a bit from the \quote {official} \OPENTYPE\ math approach doesn't bother
+us much because after all, \TEX\ is still sort of setting the quality standard.
+
+We start with showing some usage tables. When defining a typeface one or more
+goodie files can be specified. This is what we set up by default:
+
+\startluacode
+
+context.starttabulate { "|l|l|" }
+ context.NC() context("bodyfont")
+ context.NC() context("goodie file")
+ context.NC() context.NR()
+ for i=1,#document.usedfonts do
+ local name = document.usedfonts[i][1]
+ local goodie = document.usedfonts[i][2]
+ context.NC() context(name)
+ context.NC() context(goodie)
+ context.NC() context.NR()
+ end
+context.stoptabulate()
+\stopluacode
+
+Tweaks are applied in a specific order and sometimes a tweak is applied several
+times with different character lists and|/|or directives:
+
+\startluacode
+context.starttabulate { "|l|lp|" }
+ context.NC() context("bodyfont")
+ context.NC() context("tweak order")
+ context.NC() context.NR()
+ for i=1,#document.usedfonts do
+ local name = document.usedfonts[i][1]
+ local goodie = document.usedfonts[i][2]
+ local sequence = document.usedgoodies[name].sequence
+ context.NC() context(name)
+ context.NC() context("% t",sequence)
+ context.NC() context.NR()
+ end
+context.stoptabulate()
+\stopluacode
+
+Keep in mind that some of these steps are driven by optional features or specific
+versions of the font, so there are likely less applied than seen here. We can
+condense this list to usage only:
+
+\startluacode
+context.starttabulate { "|l|lp|" }
+ context.NC() context("bodyfont")
+ context.NC() context("tweak usage")
+ context.NC() context.NR()
+ for i=1,#document.usedfonts do
+ local name = document.usedfonts[i][1]
+ local goodie = document.usedfonts[i][2]
+ local usage = table.sortedkeys(document.usedgoodies[name].usage)
+ context.NC() context(name)
+ context.NC() context("% t",usage)
+ context.NC() context.NR()
+ end
+context.stoptabulate()
+\stopluacode
+
+Finally we show what tweaks are actually applied. We have some more but these are
+either experimental, diagnostic or in the meantime sort of obsolete.
+
+\startluacode
+context.starttabulate { "|l|lp|" }
+ context.NC() context("tweak")
+ context.NC() context("usage")
+ context.NC() context.NR()
+ for tweak, detail in table.sortedhash(document.usedtweaks) do
+ context.NC() context(tweak)
+ context.NC() context("% t",table.sortedkeys(detail))
+ context.NC() context.NR()
+ end
+context.stoptabulate()
+-- inspect(table.sortedkeys(mathematics.tweaks))
+\stopluacode
+
+In the next chapters we will discuss the possible tweaks where roughly group them. Tweaks
+that are no longer used will be left out (even if they are still in \LMTX). One reason
+for orphaning tweaks is that we (finally) decided to get rid of all italics.
+
+(This is work in progress: we don't want to waste time on tweaks that became unused.)

+\definedescription[MathFP][alternative=serried,width=fit,headstyle=\bf\tt,align={flushleft}]
+
+These are the mandate font parameters with their description straight from the specification:
+
+\startMathFP {ScriptPercentScaleDown} Percentage of scaling down for level 1 superscripts and subscripts. Suggested value: 80 pct. \stopMathFP
+\startMathFP {ScriptScriptPercentScaleDown} Percentage of scaling down for level 2 (scriptscript) superscripts and subscripts. Suggested value: 60 pct. \stopMathFP
+\startMathFP {DelimitedSubFormulaMinHeight} Minimum height required for a delimited expression (contained within parentheses, etc.) to be treated as a sub-formula. Suggested value: normal line height times 1.5. \stopMathFP
+\startMathFP {DisplayOperatorMinHeight} Minimum height of n-ary operators (such as integral and summation) for formulas in display mode (that is, appearing as standalone page elements, not embedded inline within text). \stopMathFP
+\startMathFP {MathLeading} White space to be left between math formulas to ensure proper line spacing. For example, for applications that treat line gap as a part of line ascender, formulas with ink going above (\typ {os2.sTypoAscender} + \typ {os2.sTypoLineGap} - \typ {MathLeading}) or with ink going below \typ {os2.sTypoDescender} will result in increasing line height. \stopMathFP
+\startMathFP {AxisHeight} Axis height of the font. In math typesetting, the term axis refers to a horizontal reference line used for positioning elements in a formula. The math axis is similar to but distinct from the baseline for regular text layout. For example, in a simple equation, a minus symbol or fraction rule would be on the axis, but a string for a variable name would be set on a baseline that is offset from the axis. The axisHeight value determines the amount of that offset. \stopMathFP
+\startMathFP {AccentBaseHeight} Maximum (ink) height of accent base that does not require raising the accents. Suggested: x‑height of the font (\typ {os2.sxHeight}) plus any possible overshots. \stopMathFP

+\startMathFP {SuperscriptBaselineDropMax} Maximum allowed drop of the baseline of superscripts relative to the (ink) top of the base. Checked for bases that are treated as a box or extended shape. Positive for superscript baseline below the base top. \stopMathFP
+\startMathFP {SubSuperscriptGapMin} Minimum gap between the superscript and subscript ink. Suggested: 4 times default rule thickness. \stopMathFP
+\startMathFP {SuperscriptBottomMaxWithSubscript} The maximum level to which the (ink) bottom of superscript can be pushed to increase the gap between superscript and subscript, before subscript starts being moved down. Suggested: 4/5 times \typ {xheigh}t. \stopMathFP
+\startMathFP {SpaceAfterScript} Extra white space to be added after each subscript and superscript. Suggested: 0.5 pt for a 12 pt font. (Note that, in some math layout implementations, a constant value, such as 0.5 pt, may be used for all text sizes.

+\startMathFP {UpperLimitGapMin} Minimum gap between the (ink) bottom of the upper limit, and the (ink) top of the base operator. \stopMathFP
+\startMathFP {UpperLimitBaselineRiseMin} Minimum distance between baseline of upper limit and (ink) top of the base operator. \stopMathFP

+\startchapter[title=Font sizes]
+
+For quite a while \CONTEXT\ \MKIV\ and \LMTX\ have been set up to use the script
+and scriptscript scales from the \OPENTYPE\ fonts. However, the method used
+didn't always work as expected with the configured sizes in bodyfont environments
+that were based on initial usage of Computer Modern. That in itself is no big
+problem but as we defined the smaller sizes of for instance five point to be that
+value too, a conflict of namespace surfaced. It's a side effect of race
+condition: we want fast loading for which we need a namespace (at every size) but
+when the size in the \OPENTYPE\ file is non standard (read: the 10pt, 7pt, 5pt
+ratio) we get the wrong scales from the hash. We need to know the scale before we
+initialize the font. But as we don't want to consult the font data each time we
+check a scale we have now moved the ratios to the typescripts. This also makes it
+possible to overload them easier.
+
+The following table shows the values as configured and you will notice that there
+are differences. By moving them into the typescript we can also assure that
+updates to the font have no side effects. As with most math parameters in the
+font, these are not then well defined|/|explored anyway.

+\startchapter[title=Data structure]
+
+A traditional \TEX\ engine only needs metrics, that is: the shape is not
+relevant. The only measure that somewhat reflect the shape is the italic
+correction but it actually is not so much a correction and more the anchor of the
+subscript. This is also true for an engine that can deal with \OPENTYPE\ math.
+However, there the shape is reflected in the staircase kern tables that define
+the kerning at the corners.
+
+In \LUAMETATEX\ each character has the following numeric properties (there cna be
+more at the \LUA\ end: width, height, depth, italic, expansion, leftprotrusion
+and rightprotrusion. An \OPENTYPE\ font only provides the width and boundingbox
+so the later defines the height and depth. We have an status field that tells
+what we're dealing with and some special treatments is needed and a pointer
+(index) to a follow up glyph (the next in size in math.) There are an optional
+kerning table and ligature table (pointers to allocated arrays) as well as an
+optional pointer to a math specific table. At the \LUA\ end we have more fields
+and some play a role in tweaks. For instance, we can redefine dimensions and
+shift the shape around. These are \CONTEXT\ specific.
+
+The optional math (sub)table of a character has many fields. Here we only mention
+them because some will be referred to in later chapters: smaller, mirror, {\em
+flat accent}, top anchor, bottom anchor, {\em four optional corner math kerns
+arrays (with their size)}, {\em optional horizontal and vertical extensible
+recipes}, four simple corner kerns, four edge margins, a top and bottom accent
+overshoot, {\em italics for vertical and horizontal extensibles}, and an inner
+location, x offset and y offset for e.g. degree anchoring. The cursive fields
+come from \OPENTYPE\ MATH.
+
+This means that a math character has more data in the engine and therefore uses
+more memory. However, there are only a few math fonts loaded and not all
+characters need the math information. One reason for splitting the data in
+\LUAMETATEX\ is that we could save a lot of memory when huge e.g. \CJK\ fonts are
+used: there we want to occupy as little memory as possible.
+
+When reading the next chapters keep in mind that quite a bit fo the
+implementation of tweaks is \CONTEXT\ specific. The engine should be able to do a
+proper job without tweaks in which case one just has to live with the limitations
+of and artifacts in fonts.
+
+When making a manual like this a complication is that one has to load many math
+fonts and also find a way to show both the tweaked and non-tweaked version. We
+only demonstrate the core set of tweaked files so here is an example:
+
+\starttexdefinition TweakTest #1

+\stoptabulate
+
+You will notice that in the tweaked version we have no kerns that compensate for the
+width. We will come to that later because these examples are more meant as calibrating
+the loading.

+\startchapter[title=Tweak: dimensions] \ShowTweakUsage{dimensions}
+
+Usage of this tweak can best be observed (and experimented) in the goodie files
+because there are many parameters. Most are fractions, for instance of the width.
+It is important to realize than when you mess with the \type {width} and \type
+{xoffset}, you need to set the \type {advance} to (most likely) the old width
+when it hasn't yet be set. This tells the backend what the natural glyph
+progression is.

+\startchapter[title=Tweak: moveitalics] \ShowTweakUsage{moveitalics}
+
+By now we have written plenty about italic correction in math fonts. To summarize
+it: in traditional \TEX\ fonts the width of characters is such that the subscript
+sits nicely against the shape, and the italic correction determines where the
+superscript ends up or when that is absent where the next item starts. It is also
+used for positioning the limits on n-ary operators. In \OPENTYPE\ fonts kerning
+happens with staircase kerns and italic correction is supposedly only used after
+a run of italic shapes. There positioning the limits is also driven by that
+correction.
+
+The dual purpose is confusing. In traditional fonts the italic correction is
+actually a kern and that is why we decided to just add it to the width and use
+the same value for a negative bottom kern. An exception is the integral where as
+mentioned the correction determines the limits.
+
+With the fonts being some mix for old and new we also have to deal with the left
+end of the shapes, especially in relation to the positioning of top accents which
+can be somewhat erratic.
+
+All this head lead us to a tweak that does several things at once: get rid of
+weird left side bearings (so that for instance a math italic \type {f} doesn't
+stick out in a way that makes it unusable), correct the advance width with the
+italic correction, turn top accent values into top and bottom anchors, add top
+and bottom right and left kerns based on all this. Finally we wipe the old italic
+and top accent values and end up with a clean glyph that we can deal with properly
+in several circumstances.
+
+In the goodie files you can find these lines:
+
+\starttyping
+presets.moveitalics { correct = true },
+presets.moveitalics { correct = true, letters = true },
+\stoptyping
+
+In the file \type {common-math.lfg} you can find how these are defined. The first
+one does the alphabets and the second one all the letters. That second one is
+sort of redundant but one can now comment the line in order to check for
+left-overs. Because we do this for all fonts, we have defined these operations as
+presets. so it makes sense to study this file. These lines are in fact function
+calls that return a regular tweak table entry.
+
+\stopchapter
+
+\startchapter[title=Tweak: movelimits] \ShowTweakUsage{movelimits}
+
+This tweak turns the italic correction of integrals into anchors and right kerns,
+something that the engine can deal with in a more advanced way than just some
+fuzzy italic correction because kerns permeable through the renderer. Again we
+have a preset:
+
+\starttyping
+presets.moveintegrals { factor = 1.5 }
+\stoptyping
+
+This is defined as:
+
+\starttyping
+moveintegrals = function(parameters)
+ return {
+ tweak = "movelimits",
+ factor = parameters.factor or 1,
+ list = mathematics.tweaks.subsets.integrals,
+ }
+end
+\stoptyping
+
+Watch how we pas a factor that does an extra shift on the top and bottom anchors.
+For the list we use a predefined list of integrals (and there are plenty in
+\UNICODE).
+
+\stopchapter
+
+\startchapter[title=Tweak: wipeanchors] \ShowTweakUsage{wipeanchors}
+
+This tweak wipes the top anchors (top accents) for the given (ranges) of
+characters. There are fonts out there with weird ones and when wiped the centered
+positioning that kicks in when no anchor is defined works better. In practice
+only a few very sloped characters benefit from anchors. Interesting is that the
+math italic f is sensitive for bad dimensions and anchors and as that character
+is used a lot the impression can be that a whole font is bad if that one is.
+
+\stopchapter
+
+\startchapter[title=Tweak: wipeitalics] \ShowTweakUsage{wipeitalics}
+
+This tweak wipes the \quote {italic correction} fields that are left over after

+can have italic corrections that make no sense but might have resulted from some
+automatic font generation workflow.

+\startchapter[title=Tweak: checkspacing] \ShowTweakUsage{checkspacing}

+\startchapter[title=Tweak: simplifykerns] \ShowTweakUsage{simplifykerns}
+
+The native kerning mechanism in \OPENTYPE\ math fonts uses staircase kerns for
+positioning scripts at each corner. When we looked into fonts in more detail we
+noticed that when the first step was normally okay, the second of third was such
+that the shape was actually touched. This made us add this tweak, where the
+extremes of staircase kerns (first top and last bottom) are used instead. This is
+possible because in \LUAMETATEX\ we have additional kerning features.
+
+One can argue that this degrades the quality but one has to keep in mind that
+\TEX\ will move script up and down anyway, so one seldom ends up in the more
+dangerous zones. So it's best to just catch it and throw out the few that we
+could benefit from.

+The position of the radical degree is determined by some font parameters (todo)

+therefore provide a tweak that sets real anchors. These are not officially in
+\UNICODE\ math but an engine feature. Here is the experimental setup we made for
+Lucida. It demonstrates that we can set the base character, variants and the
+extensible. The factors that default to one, are applied to the width and height
+plus depth in order to get the coordinates.

+
+In this chapter we will show some of the characters that triggered adding a tweak
+feature. It can be that in the meantime something changed (got fixed) but
+nevertheless we think that by collecting some example here can help developers of
+math fonts to play safe so that the engine can do a good job even without tweaks.
+
+\stopsubject
+
+\startsubject[title=Latin Modern: radical base]
+
+In traditional \TEX\ fonts, for practical reasons (like implementation limits)
+the base radical character sits quite a bit below the baseline. The engine will
+automatically compensate for this when it is defined as radical but it makes
+usage as stand alone character hard. It also doesn't play well with corner kerns
+and degree anchoring.

+\startsubject[title=Latin Modern: weird anchors]
+
+The \TEX Gyre fonts have top accent anchors defined but they are (at least when
+we write this) often positioned on the highest point of the shape, which is
+probably a side effect of some automated heuristic. However, for some shapes that
+works out bad. This is why we can wipe these anchors, just use the middle of the
+width and provide our own when it makes sense.
+
+\startlinecorrection
+ \externalfigure[lm-7-anchor.png][width=.25\textwidth]
+\stoplinecorrection
+
+\stopsubject
+
+\startsubject[title=StixTwo]
+
+When trying to improve font metrics (aka tweaking) we sometimes take a look at
+the shapes in FontForge. So for instance when we noticed that the integral mid
+segment in StixTwo was too narrow we took that look. Then we also noticed that
+the glyph was positioned at the edge instead of in the middle but that the
+hinting was such that it ended up in the middle. Intrigued by this we looked into
+it in more detail and noticed that the \OPENTYPE\ and \TRUETYPE\ files show up
+quite different. So we fetching the source files from the git repository, and
+played with the build script.
+
+The starting point is a \TRUETYPE\ file that seems to provide all kind of tables,
+that are then adapted using a dedicated glyph name file (basically many verbose
+glyph names are replaced by (in the end sort of redundant) uni names as well as
+plenty small glif files (we didn't check if these are different from what is in
+the original ttf file). Intermediate files are generated and at some point auto
+hinting happens, using different tools for the two formats.
+
+At some point we figured out that the left side bearing in the head table was
+somehow interfering and more experiments (we used for instance Lucida Math as
+comparison) if became clear that the lsb bit in the head flags was the culprit.
+By (un)setting it we could let \FONTFORGE\ show the \OPENTYPE\ and \TRUETYPE\
+files in the same way of differently. We could also zero the lsb entries in the
+hmtx table, which sort of fixed it independent of the bit. For the record we
+show the effect here (this document is also a bit our archive).

+It was this character that we looked at because we use it in a demo, but actually
+many characters had this visual hinting side effect. So, one solution is to wipe
+the hints and let FontForge add new ones, but easier is to just use the
+\TRUETYPE\ files instead of the \OPENTYPE\ ones, either fixed or with hints
+removed,as in:
+
+\starttyping
+<CharString name="uni23AE">
+ 125 403 0 rmoveto
+ 0 650 rlineto
+ -102 0 rlineto
+ 0 -650 rlineto
+ endchar
+</CharString>
+\stoptyping
+
+This is the original \type {uni23A_E_.glif} file:
+
+\starttyping
+<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
+<glyph name="uni23AE" format="2">
+ <advance width="704"/>
+ <unicode hex="23AE"/>
+ <outline>
+ <contour>
+ <point x="403" y="0" type="line"/>
+ <point x="403" y="650" type="line"/>
+ <point x="301" y="650" type="line"/>
+ <point x="301" y="0" type="line"/>
+ </contour>
+ </outline>
+</glyph>
+\stoptyping
+
+In case one wonders why all this matters: occasionally we use the shape in
+\METAPOST\ and there we don't apply hinting, which means that we don't want to
+end up with the glyph positioned wrongly in the bounding box with hints moving
+them to the right spot. So that is why we now prefer the \TRUETYPE\ variant
+because then at least we can compare different programs visually. \footnote {In
+the FontForge preview rendering in the overview, hinting is also not applied so
+there glyphs are also positioned somewhat weird. In TypeTool3 the glyph doesn't
+show up at all when we enable outline fill so it makes an interesting puzzle.}
