Redefining math symbols in `mathspec`












0















I'm using the Skolar font for a work and I'm experimenting with mathspec just to match the fonts in regular and math text.



There's a latin character called "f with hook" (unicode 0192; ALT+131 on Windows) that I want instead of the italic f in math mode. The difference between the regular f, italic f and f with hook is shown in the next image. Interestingly, there's no italic correction.



I tried this



makeatlettter
DeclareMathSymbol{f}{mathalpha}{eu@LatinLowercase@symfont}{`ƒ}
makeatother


but prints nothing. I can write symbol{"0192} and get ƒ in the pdf, so, I also tried



makeatlettter
DeclareMathSymbol{f}{mathalpha}{eu@LatinLowercase@symfont}{"0192}
makeatother


but does not print anything; and



makeatlettter
DeclareMathSymbol{f}{mathalpha}{eu@LatinLowercase@symfont}{symbol{"0192}}
makeatother


crashes. In this site is pointed that the command DeclareMathSymbol must be invoked like this



DeclareMathSymbol {<symbol>} {<type>} {<sym-font>} {<slot>}


and I think the problem is in the way I'm writing the <slot> with a wrong format. So, my question is how I can solve this whithout defining f as symbol{"0192} cuz I will need to replace every single f (in a math environment) in my code by f.



A MWE would be like this.



documentclass{article}

usepackage{mathspec}

defaultfontfeatures{Ligatures=TeX}

setmainfont{Times New Roman}

setmathfont(Digits,Latin,Greek){Times New Roman}

setmathrm{Times New Roman}

begin{document}
ftextit{f}symbol{"0192} $f(x)=f(x).$
end{document}


I don't know if Times New Roman is installed on Linux distributions but you can change Times New Roman for Ubuntu or anything else.
