Hi there, I couldn’t find a symbol equivalent to Latex’s \eth, which can be seen here and results in something different from the closest unicode character, ð.
Did I miss something? If not, is there a way to draw an equivalent version using Typst tools? Otherwise, would the Typst team envisage to implement that feature? The symbol is commonly used for example in differential geometry.
Hello. Eth doesn’t have a dedicated name in Typst. You can request it or define manually:
// #let sym = dictionary(sym) + (eth: symbol("\u{F0}"))
// #let eth = "\u{F0}"
#let eth = "ð"
$eth$
To expand on @Andrew’s answer, the Unicode character you found is the correct one although the style is different from what you get in LaTeX with the Computer Modern font. If you use New Computer Modern in LaTeX (e.g. with \usepackage{fontsetup}) you will get the same shape as in Typst. It seems that New Computer Modern hasn’t (yet?) implemented the math shape version of \eth as can be found in amssymb.
Maybe there’s another OpenType/TrueType font out there you can use to get the same shape as in amssymb but I don’t know which one…
To add to the discussion, eth is mentioned in the codex symbol proposal document (see subsection 3.16.1), so will probably get added at some point. But the discord server is probably a better place for this than the forum
You are linking to a private project. And it should be eth or maybe edh, not etc.
should be fixed now, thanks for letting me know
I see. It is rather a question of how the font implements that particular character for math mode… Thanks for your answers!
(I’m using Libertinus by the way.)
