The TeX Gyre Fonts
Latin Modern
This is the default font family loaded by unicode-math, but can also be set up explicitly. It is an OpenType version of Latin Modern, a clone of DEK’s Computer Modern, based on Monotype Modern, and of the AMS symbol fonts. The default fonts are therefore nearly identical to those of classic LaTeX.
This conversion is the work of the GUST project, which later created the TeX Gyre fonts from the free URW fonts, which were based on the Adobe PostScript fonts. All of these fonts (except TeX Gyre DejaVu Math, a conversion of an existing OpenType font into a math font) have similar repertoires and features. They support all European languages as well as Romanizations of other languages.
The vast majority of the fonts on this page similarly cloned an existing font, but changed the name to avoid confusion or to comply with the license. Some have gone through three or four iterations of this.
GUST is the Polish TeX users’ group. Many of the people most motivated to extend existing fonts were from Southern or Eastern Europe, since fonts that already covered Western European languages and Greek letters for math were almost able to support their native languages.

One of the first attempts to create a comprehensive set of all scientific, technical and mathematical symbols. STIX was based on Elsevier’s Esstix, and inspired by Monotype’s Times 4-Line Mathematics Series 569, a font from the middle of the century that simplified typesetting mathematics on mechanical printing presses. The OpenType math support is not complete, which led to the XITS Math project being created.

Asana Math
Asana is a close match for Palatino, and therefore its clones, such as Pagella. You should use one of them as the text font. If you try to make Asana the text font, you will not get either styles or ligatures.
It was created by Apostolos Syropoulos, based on Type 1 fonts by Young Ryu, and is similar in appearance to the pxfonts package.

GFS Neohellenic
This is one of the newer offerings on CTAN; it has only residual serifs and may be especially useful for presentations. (Although it is possible to load a sans-serif font family with range=up, it, bfup and bfit. The unicode-math documentation also gives an example of how to remap the math sans-serif letters to the main alphabet, but as of 0.81, it’s broken.) It is based on the public-domain font New Hellenic, inspired by a Greek font from Renaissance Venice.
The math version was commissioned from the Greek Fonts Society by the Department of Mathematics at the University of the Aegean.

Neo Euler (Free but Incomplete)
A conversion by Khaled Hosny of the AMS Euler font designed by Hermann Zapf for the book DEK co-authored, Concrete Mathematics: A Foundation for Computer Science. It was originally matched with the font Concrete Roman, which is now available from the Computer Modern Unicode project as CMU Concrete. Euler goes well with Zapf’s other famous fonts, the serif font Palatino (and therefore its many clones, including Pagella and Asana) and the sans-serif font Optima (which has an OpenType clone, URW Classico). Linux Libertine and its extension Libertinus are also good matches for it, and Libertinus Math, also by Khaled Hosny, shows some similarities.
Neo Euler was abandoned in 2010 and has a smaller repertoire of glyphs than the other fonts (nor will Zapf, who passed away in 2015, draw any more), so if it is missing any glyph you need, you might want to load it with the range= option, to use it with a fallback font that contains the glyphs it’s missing. The following loads all glyphs defined in Neo Euler, loads CMU Concrete as the text font, and uses Libertinus Math as the fallback for the rest (such as the ratio).
Since Neo Euler has upright glyphs and no italic glyphs, it requires the math-style=upright option of unicode-math. Unfortunately, the font metrics for subscripts and superscripts appear to be broken, so this example turns off script style for letters and numerals. It also makes sure to load the Greek lowercase letters as upright. If you want to use it with the full range of math alphabets, see below for a demo of how to fill in the missing pieces from other fonts.

Berenis ADF Pro (Free but Incomplete)
This is another incomplete font not included with TeX Live. It is available gratis from the foundry. The text font also contains rare ligatures not shown here, as they look out of place in a mathematical text.
Whether this should be considered an “OpenType math font” is debatable. It lacks an OpenType math table, and unicode-math 0.81 will not consider it valid as the main math font. This sample falls back to Latin Modern Math as the default math font, then loads every glyph this font defines over that, which you can do for any TrueType or OpenType font. It contains only upright symbols, so it will only work with the math-style=upright option of unicode-math (or if you kitbash it to import symbols from the text fonts; see below).
Despite being licensed under the GPL2, it does not come with any source files.

Stylistic Sets and Alternates
Many of these fonts contain either stylistic sets or stylistic alternates that allow you to select between different versions of some of the symbols in the font. STIX Two has an especially large number, and actually documents them. If a font doesn’t, you can still check what it currently supports by opening it in FontForge. This is in addition to the choices you can make with package options.
For example, both XITS and STIX Two include a Stylistic Set 8 with alternative upright integrals. (In fact, STIX Two supports every stylistic set XITS Math does.) You can select them as follows:
% LaTeX
setmainfont{XITS}
setmathfont{XITS Math}
setmathfont[range={"222B-"2233,"2A0B-"2A1C},StylisticSet=8]{XITS Math}
For comparison, here is the vanilla XITS example again:
A common use of these alternative styles is on the script alphabet. Traditionally, LaTeX had separate alphabets for mathcal and mathscr. However, the Unicode consortium decided that no mathematical texts use both of these with different meanings, so they were different presentation forms assigned to the same codepoints.
However, unicode-math allows you to load different alphabets as mathcal and mathscr, and also mathbfcal and mathbfscr. Some fonts, such as XITS, implement this as a stylistic set, some, such as Asana Math, implement it as a stylistic alternative, and others require you to load a different font of you want to do that. For example, to do it with Asana Math:
% LaTeX
documentclass[preview,varwidth]{standalone}
usepackage{microtype}
usepackage{unicode-math}
setmainfont[Ligatures={Common,Rare,TeX}]{Palatino Linotype}
% You might have Palatino or Palatino Linotype installed.

Alternate,
Scale=MatchUppercase]

begin{document}
Calligraphic: (mathcal{ABC}) qquad Script: (mathscr{ABC})
end{document}
Kitbashing Math Fonts
It is possible to load symbols from any font into a math style, and use them as symbols with symup. For example, nearly all fonts include a QED symbol at U+220E, but what it looks like varies considerably. To get the version in XITS Math (the black tombstone that matches the 1997 edition of The Art of Computer Programming), you can use the commands:
% LaTeX
documentclass[preview,varwidth]{standalone}
usepackage{amsmath,amsthm}
usepackage{unicode-math}
setmathfont[range=`∎]{XITS Math}
DeclareRobustCommandqedsymbol{ensuremath{symup{∎}}}
begin{document}
begin{proof}[Tautology]
True
end{proof}
end{document}
Another common request is to combine the letters of a text font family with the symbols of a math font. Since Neo Euler is the math font lacking italic letters at all, it makes a good example. A frequent recommendation is to combine Euler with Hermann Zapf’s other creation, Palatino. Since both Pagella and Asana are clones of Palatino, we can use Pagella as the text fonts and take all the missing glyphs, including italic math letters, from Asana.
This gives us the repertoire to convert the sample to ISO style (a great excuse to show off upright and italic math letters together). Constants such as π and i remain upright (written 2 symup{pi i}, the denominator still shows Euler math letters). Uppercase Greek letters, such as the Gamma function, are now italic rather than upright, but symbols based on Greek letters, such as summation and product, remain the same.
Essentially, this adds a few lines to the bottom of the preamble filling in all the remaining math alphabets and setting up digits to match the text font.

Here again is the example with Neo Euler as the math font:
(The eagle-eyed will have noticed one more unexplained line of code, which sets the partial and nabla package options to upright. Neo Euler contains the upright ∂ symbol in U+2202, but not the cursive ∂ symbol at U+1D715, which confuses unicode-math. Otherwise, load U+1D715 from another math font.)
It is often a good idea to set up subscripts, superscripts, sub-subscripts and super-superscripts to use a smaller optical size, to make it more legible at smaller sizes. There are three methods. There might be a companion font designed for smaller sizes. which you would load with script-font=. (The commercial font Aldus is intended as this for Palatino.) Many fonts, including Latin Modern and all the TeX Gyre fonts, come with different optical sizes and you can select a smaller one, e.g. script-features={OpticalSize=8}, sscript-features={OpticalSize=6}. Finally, math fonts support the font features script-features={Script=Math, Style=MathScript}, sscript-features={Script=Math, Style=MathScriptScript}.
For more information, see the documentation of the unicode-math and fontspec packages.

As rationale for not using the default math fonts is often to get better match with text fonts, it would be interesting to mention which scripts are supported by the matching text fonts. For example as a far as I know the TeX Gyre only support the Latin script, which is a serious limitation for use in automated document production where Unicode characters may pop up from Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, CJK, ...

The TeX Gyre Fonts
Latin Modern
This is the default font family loaded by unicode-math, but can also be set up explicitly. It is an OpenType version of Latin Modern, a clone of DEK’s Computer Modern, based on Monotype Modern, and of the AMS symbol fonts. The default fonts are therefore nearly identical to those of classic LaTeX.
This conversion is the work of the GUST project, which later created the TeX Gyre fonts from the free URW fonts, which were based on the Adobe PostScript fonts. All of these fonts (except TeX Gyre DejaVu Math, a conversion of an existing OpenType font into a math font) have similar repertoires and features. They support all European languages as well as Romanizations of other languages.
The vast majority of the fonts on this page similarly cloned an existing font, but changed the name to avoid confusion or to comply with the license. Some have gone through three or four iterations of this.
GUST is the Polish TeX users’ group. Many of the people most motivated to extend existing fonts were from Southern or Eastern Europe, since fonts that already covered Western European languages and Greek letters for math were almost able to support their native languages.

STIX Math Regular
One of the first attempts to create a comprehensive set of all scientific, technical and mathematical symbols. STIX was based on Elsevier’s Esstix, and inspired by Monotype’s Times 4-Line Mathematics Series 569, a font from the middle of the century that simplified typesetting mathematics on mechanical printing presses. The OpenType math support is not complete, which led to the XITS Math project being created.

Neo Euler (Free but Incomplete)
A conversion by Khaled Hosny of the AMS Euler font designed by Hermann Zapf for the book DEK co-authored, Concrete Mathematics: A Foundation for Computer Science. It was originally matched with the font Concrete Roman, which is now available from the Computer Modern Unicode project as CMU Concrete. Euler goes well with Zapf’s other famous fonts, the serif font Palatino (and therefore its many clones, including Pagella and Asana) and the sans-serif font Optima (which has an OpenType clone, URW Classico). Linux Libertine and its extension Libertinus are also good matches for it, and Libertinus Math, also by Khaled Hosny, shows some similarities.
Neo Euler was abandoned in 2010 and has a smaller repertoire of glyphs than the other fonts (nor will Zapf, who passed away in 2015, draw any more), so if it is missing any glyph you need, you might want to load it with the range= option, to use it with a fallback font that contains the glyphs it’s missing. The following loads all glyphs defined in Neo Euler, loads CMU Concrete as the text font, and uses Libertinus Math as the fallback for the rest (such as the ratio).
Since Neo Euler has upright glyphs and no italic glyphs, it requires the math-style=upright option of unicode-math. Unfortunately, the font metrics for subscripts and superscripts appear to be broken, so this example turns off script style for letters and numerals. It also makes sure to load the Greek lowercase letters as upright. If you want to use it with the full range of math alphabets, see below for a demo of how to fill in the missing pieces from other fonts.

Berenis ADF Pro (Free but Incomplete)
This is another incomplete font not included with TeX Live. It is available gratis from the foundry. The text font also contains rare ligatures not shown here, as they look out of place in a mathematical text.
Whether this should be considered an “OpenType math font” is debatable. It lacks an OpenType math table, and unicode-math 0.81 will not consider it valid as the main math font. This sample falls back to Latin Modern Math as the default math font, then loads every glyph this font defines over that, which you can do for any TrueType or OpenType font. It contains only upright symbols, so it will only work with the math-style=upright option of unicode-math (or if you kitbash it to import symbols from the text fonts; see below).
Despite being licensed under the GPL2, it does not come with any source files.

Stylistic Sets and Alternates
Many of these fonts contain either stylistic sets or stylistic alternates that allow you to select between different versions of some of the symbols in the font. STIX Two has an especially large number, and actually documents them. If a font doesn’t, you can still check what it currently supports by opening it in FontForge. This is in addition to the choices you can make with package options.
For example, both XITS and STIX Two include a Stylistic Set 8 with alternative upright integrals. (In fact, STIX Two supports every stylistic set XITS Math does.) You can select them as follows:
% LaTeX
setmainfont{XITS}
setmathfont{XITS Math}
setmathfont[range={"222B-"2233,"2A0B-"2A1C},StylisticSet=8]{XITS Math}
For comparison, here is the vanilla XITS example again:
A common use of these alternative styles is on the script alphabet. Traditionally, LaTeX had separate alphabets for mathcal and mathscr. However, the Unicode consortium decided that no mathematical texts use both of these with different meanings, so they were different presentation forms assigned to the same codepoints.
However, unicode-math allows you to load different alphabets as mathcal and mathscr, and also mathbfcal and mathbfscr. Some fonts, such as XITS, implement this as a stylistic set, some, such as Asana Math, implement it as a stylistic alternative, and others require you to load a different font of you want to do that. For example, to do it with Asana Math:
% LaTeX
documentclass[preview,varwidth]{standalone}
usepackage{microtype}
usepackage{unicode-math}
setmainfont[Ligatures={Common,Rare,TeX}]{Palatino Linotype}
% You might have Palatino or Palatino Linotype installed.

Alternate,
Scale=MatchUppercase]
{Asana Math}
begin{document}
Calligraphic: (mathcal{ABC}) qquad Script: (mathscr{ABC})
end{document}
Kitbashing Math Fonts
It is possible to load symbols from any font into a math style, and use them as symbols with symup. For example, nearly all fonts include a QED symbol at U+220E, but what it looks like varies considerably. To get the version in XITS Math (the black tombstone that matches the 1997 edition of The Art of Computer Programming), you can use the commands:
% LaTeX
documentclass[preview,varwidth]{standalone}
usepackage{amsmath,amsthm}
usepackage{unicode-math}
setmathfont[range=`∎]{XITS Math}
DeclareRobustCommandqedsymbol{ensuremath{symup{∎}}}
begin{document}
begin{proof}[Tautology]
True
end{proof}
end{document}
Another common request is to combine the letters of a text font family with the symbols of a math font. Since Neo Euler is the math font lacking italic letters at all, it makes a good example. A frequent recommendation is to combine Euler with Hermann Zapf’s other creation, Palatino. Since both Pagella and Asana are clones of Palatino, we can use Pagella as the text fonts and take all the missing glyphs, including italic math letters, from Asana.
This gives us the repertoire to convert the sample to ISO style (a great excuse to show off upright and italic math letters together). Constants such as π and i remain upright (written 2 symup{pi i}, the denominator still shows Euler math letters). Uppercase Greek letters, such as the Gamma function, are now italic rather than upright, but symbols based on Greek letters, such as summation and product, remain the same.
Essentially, this adds a few lines to the bottom of the preamble filling in all the remaining math alphabets and setting up digits to match the text font.

Here again is the example with Neo Euler as the math font:
(The eagle-eyed will have noticed one more unexplained line of code, which sets the partial and nabla package options to upright. Neo Euler contains the upright ∂ symbol in U+2202, but not the cursive ∂ symbol at U+1D715, which confuses unicode-math. Otherwise, load U+1D715 from another math font.)
It is often a good idea to set up subscripts, superscripts, sub-subscripts and super-superscripts to use a smaller optical size, to make it more legible at smaller sizes. There are three methods. There might be a companion font designed for smaller sizes. which you would load with script-font=. (The commercial font Aldus is intended as this for Palatino.) Many fonts, including Latin Modern and all the TeX Gyre fonts, come with different optical sizes and you can select a smaller one, e.g. script-features={OpticalSize=8}, sscript-features={OpticalSize=6}. Finally, math fonts support the font features script-features={Script=Math, Style=MathScript}, sscript-features={Script=Math, Style=MathScriptScript}.
For more information, see the documentation of the unicode-math and fontspec packages.

As rationale for not using the default math fonts is often to get better match with text fonts, it would be interesting to mention which scripts are supported by the matching text fonts. For example as a far as I know the TeX Gyre only support the Latin script, which is a serious limitation for use in automated document production where Unicode characters may pop up from Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, CJK, ...

The TeX Gyre Fonts
Latin Modern
This is the default font family loaded by unicode-math, but can also be set up explicitly. It is an OpenType version of Latin Modern, a clone of DEK’s Computer Modern, based on Monotype Modern, and of the AMS symbol fonts. The default fonts are therefore nearly identical to those of classic LaTeX.
This conversion is the work of the GUST project, which later created the TeX Gyre fonts from the free URW fonts, which were based on the Adobe PostScript fonts. All of these fonts (except TeX Gyre DejaVu Math, a conversion of an existing OpenType font into a math font) have similar repertoires and features. They support all European languages as well as Romanizations of other languages.
The vast majority of the fonts on this page similarly cloned an existing font, but changed the name to avoid confusion or to comply with the license. Some have gone through three or four iterations of this.
GUST is the Polish TeX users’ group. Many of the people most motivated to extend existing fonts were from Southern or Eastern Europe, since fonts that already covered Western European languages and Greek letters for math were almost able to support their native languages.

Neo Euler (Free but Incomplete)
A conversion by Khaled Hosny of the AMS Euler font designed by Hermann Zapf for the book DEK co-authored, Concrete Mathematics: A Foundation for Computer Science. It was originally matched with the font Concrete Roman, which is now available from the Computer Modern Unicode project as CMU Concrete. Euler goes well with Zapf’s other famous fonts, the serif font Palatino (and therefore its many clones, including Pagella and Asana) and the sans-serif font Optima (which has an OpenType clone, URW Classico). Linux Libertine and its extension Libertinus are also good matches for it, and Libertinus Math, also by Khaled Hosny, shows some similarities.
Neo Euler was abandoned in 2010 and has a smaller repertoire of glyphs than the other fonts (nor will Zapf, who passed away in 2015, draw any more), so if it is missing any glyph you need, you might want to load it with the range= option, to use it with a fallback font that contains the glyphs it’s missing. The following loads all glyphs defined in Neo Euler, loads CMU Concrete as the text font, and uses Libertinus Math as the fallback for the rest (such as the ratio).
Since Neo Euler has upright glyphs and no italic glyphs, it requires the math-style=upright option of unicode-math. Unfortunately, the font metrics for subscripts and superscripts appear to be broken, so this example turns off script style for letters and numerals. It also makes sure to load the Greek lowercase letters as upright. If you want to use it with the full range of math alphabets, see below for a demo of how to fill in the missing pieces from other fonts.

Berenis ADF Pro (Free but Incomplete)
This is another incomplete font not included with TeX Live. It is available gratis from the foundry. The text font also contains rare ligatures not shown here, as they look out of place in a mathematical text.
Whether this should be considered an “OpenType math font” is debatable. It lacks an OpenType math table, and unicode-math 0.81 will not consider it valid as the main math font. This sample falls back to Latin Modern Math as the default math font, then loads every glyph this font defines over that, which you can do for any TrueType or OpenType font. It contains only upright symbols, so it will only work with the math-style=upright option of unicode-math (or if you kitbash it to import symbols from the text fonts; see below).
Despite being licensed under the GPL2, it does not come with any source files.

Fira Math
This font is under development. It can be found on CTAN, or at github. It is forked from Fira fonts, which are also free. FiraGO supports many languages and Open Type features, and is available in both TeX Live and MikTeX.
As of October 2018, The Fira Math project a work in progress, and receives frequent updates. You should check that you have the latest version and whether any symbols you need are missing. If so, you can load those from another math font (such as TeX Gyre DejaVu Math) using the range= option of setmathfont.

Stylistic Sets and Alternates
Many of these fonts contain either stylistic sets or stylistic alternates that allow you to select between different versions of some of the symbols in the font. STIX Two has an especially large number, and actually documents them. If a font doesn’t, you can still check what it currently supports by opening it in FontForge. This is in addition to the choices you can make with package options.
For example, both XITS and STIX Two include a Stylistic Set 8 with alternative upright integrals. (In fact, STIX Two supports every stylistic set XITS Math does.) You can select them as follows:
% LaTeX
setmainfont{XITS}
setmathfont{XITS Math}
setmathfont[range={"222B-"2233,"2A0B-"2A1C},StylisticSet=8]{XITS Math}
For comparison, here is the vanilla XITS example again:
A common use of these alternative styles is on the script alphabet. Traditionally, LaTeX had separate alphabets for mathcal and mathscr. However, the Unicode consortium decided that no mathematical texts use both of these with different meanings, so they were different presentation forms assigned to the same codepoints.
However, unicode-math allows you to load different alphabets as mathcal and mathscr, and also mathbfcal and mathbfscr. Some fonts, such as XITS, implement this as a stylistic set, some, such as Asana Math, implement it as a stylistic alternative, and others require you to load a different font of you want to do that. For example, to do it with Asana Math:
% LaTeX
documentclass[preview,varwidth]{standalone}
usepackage{microtype}
usepackage{unicode-math}
setmainfont[Ligatures={Common,Rare,TeX}]{Palatino Linotype}
% You might have Palatino or Palatino Linotype installed.

Alternate,
Scale=MatchUppercase]
{Asana Math}
begin{document}
Calligraphic: (mathcal{ABC}) qquad Script: (mathscr{ABC})
end{document}
Kitbashing Math Fonts
It is possible to load symbols from any font into a math style, and use them as symbols with symup. For example, nearly all fonts include a QED symbol at U+220E, but what it looks like varies considerably. To get the version in XITS Math (the black tombstone that matches the 1997 edition of The Art of Computer Programming), you can use the commands:
% LaTeX
documentclass[preview,varwidth]{standalone}
usepackage{amsmath,amsthm}
usepackage{unicode-math}
setmathfont[range=`∎]{XITS Math}
DeclareRobustCommandqedsymbol{ensuremath{symup{∎}}}
begin{document}
begin{proof}[Tautology]
True
end{proof}
end{document}
Another common request is to combine the letters of a text font family with the symbols of a math font. Since Neo Euler is the math font lacking italic letters at all, it makes a good example. A frequent recommendation is to combine Euler with Hermann Zapf’s other creation, Palatino. Since both Pagella and Asana are clones of Palatino, we can use Pagella as the text fonts and take all the missing glyphs, including italic math letters, from Asana.
This gives us the repertoire to convert the sample to ISO style (a great excuse to show off upright and italic math letters together). Constants such as π and i remain upright (written 2 symup{pi i}, the denominator still shows Euler math letters). Uppercase Greek letters, such as the Gamma function, are now italic rather than upright, but symbols based on Greek letters, such as summation and product, remain the same.
Essentially, this adds a few lines to the bottom of the preamble filling in all the remaining math alphabets and setting up digits to match the text font.

Here again is the example with Neo Euler as the math font:
(The eagle-eyed will have noticed one more unexplained line of code, which sets the partial and nabla package options to upright. Neo Euler contains the upright ∂ symbol in U+2202, but not the cursive ∂ symbol at U+1D715, which confuses unicode-math. Otherwise, load U+1D715 from another math font.)
It is often a good idea to set up subscripts, superscripts, sub-subscripts and super-superscripts to use a smaller optical size, to make it more legible at smaller sizes. There are three methods. There might be a companion font designed for smaller sizes. which you would load with script-font=. (The commercial font Aldus is intended as this for Palatino.) Many fonts, including Latin Modern and all the TeX Gyre fonts, come with different optical sizes and you can select a smaller one, e.g. script-features={OpticalSize=8}, sscript-features={OpticalSize=6}. Finally, math fonts support the font features script-features={Script=Math, Style=MathScript}, sscript-features={Script=Math, Style=MathScriptScript}.
For more information, see the documentation of the unicode-math and fontspec packages.

As rationale for not using the default math fonts is often to get better match with text fonts, it would be interesting to mention which scripts are supported by the matching text fonts. For example as a far as I know the TeX Gyre only support the Latin script, which is a serious limitation for use in automated document production where Unicode characters may pop up from Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, CJK, ...

The TeX Gyre Fonts
Latin Modern
This is the default font family loaded by unicode-math, but can also be set up explicitly. It is an OpenType version of Latin Modern, a clone of DEK’s Computer Modern, based on Monotype Modern, and of the AMS symbol fonts. The default fonts are therefore nearly identical to those of classic LaTeX.
This conversion is the work of the GUST project, which later created the TeX Gyre fonts from the free URW fonts, which were based on the Adobe PostScript fonts. All of these fonts (except TeX Gyre DejaVu Math, a conversion of an existing OpenType font into a math font) have similar repertoires and features. They support all European languages as well as Romanizations of other languages.
The vast majority of the fonts on this page similarly cloned an existing font, but changed the name to avoid confusion or to comply with the license. Some have gone through three or four iterations of this.
GUST is the Polish TeX users’ group. Many of the people most motivated to extend existing fonts were from Southern or Eastern Europe, since fonts that already covered Western European languages and Greek letters for math were almost able to support their native languages.

Berenis ADF Pro (Free but Incomplete)
This is another incomplete font not included with TeX Live. It is available gratis from the foundry. The text font also contains rare ligatures not shown here, as they look out of place in a mathematical text.
Whether this should be considered an “OpenType math font” is debatable. It lacks an OpenType math table, and unicode-math 0.81 will not consider it valid as the main math font. This sample falls back to Latin Modern Math as the default math font, then loads every glyph this font defines over that, which you can do for any TrueType or OpenType font. It contains only upright symbols, so it will only work with the math-style=upright option of unicode-math (or if you kitbash it to import symbols from the text fonts; see below).
Despite being licensed under the GPL2, it does not come with any source files.

Fira Math
This font is under development. It can be found on CTAN, or at github. It is forked from Fira fonts, which are also free. FiraGO supports many languages and Open Type features, and is available in both TeX Live and MikTeX.
As of October 2018, The Fira Math project a work in progress, and receives frequent updates. You should check that you have the latest version and whether any symbols you need are missing. If so, you can load those from another math font (such as TeX Gyre DejaVu Math) using the range= option of setmathfont.

Stylistic Sets and Alternates
Many of these fonts contain either stylistic sets or stylistic alternates that allow you to select between different versions of some of the symbols in the font. STIX Two has an especially large number, and actually documents them. If a font doesn’t, you can still check what it currently supports by opening it in FontForge. This is in addition to the choices you can make with package options.
For example, both XITS and STIX Two include a Stylistic Set 8 with alternative upright integrals. (In fact, STIX Two supports every stylistic set XITS Math does.) You can select them as follows:
% LaTeX
setmainfont{XITS}
setmathfont{XITS Math}
setmathfont[range={"222B-"2233,"2A0B-"2A1C},StylisticSet=8]{XITS Math}
For comparison, here is the vanilla XITS example again:
A common use of these alternative styles is on the script alphabet. Traditionally, LaTeX had separate alphabets for mathcal and mathscr. However, the Unicode consortium decided that no mathematical texts use both of these with different meanings, so they were different presentation forms assigned to the same codepoints.
However, unicode-math allows you to load different alphabets as mathcal and mathscr, and also mathbfcal and mathbfscr. Some fonts, such as XITS, implement this as a stylistic set, some, such as Asana Math, implement it as a stylistic alternative, and others require you to load a different font of you want to do that. For example, to do it with Asana Math:
% LaTeX
documentclass[preview,varwidth]{standalone}
usepackage{microtype}
usepackage{unicode-math}
setmainfont[Ligatures={Common,Rare,TeX}]{Palatino Linotype}
% You might have Palatino or Palatino Linotype installed.

Calligraphic: (mathcal{ABC}) qquad Script: (mathscr{ABC})
end{document}
Kitbashing Math Fonts
It is possible to load symbols from any font into a math style, and use them as symbols with symup. For example, nearly all fonts include a QED symbol at U+220E, but what it looks like varies considerably. To get the version in XITS Math (the black tombstone that matches the 1997 edition of The Art of Computer Programming), you can use the commands:
% LaTeX
documentclass[preview,varwidth]{standalone}
usepackage{amsmath,amsthm}
usepackage{unicode-math}
setmathfont[range=`∎]{XITS Math}
DeclareRobustCommandqedsymbol{ensuremath{symup{∎}}}
begin{document}
begin{proof}[Tautology]
True
end{proof}
end{document}
Another common request is to combine the letters of a text font family with the symbols of a math font. Since Neo Euler is the math font lacking italic letters at all, it makes a good example. A frequent recommendation is to combine Euler with Hermann Zapf’s other creation, Palatino. Since both Pagella and Asana are clones of Palatino, we can use Pagella as the text fonts and take all the missing glyphs, including italic math letters, from Asana.
This gives us the repertoire to convert the sample to ISO style (a great excuse to show off upright and italic math letters together). Constants such as π and i remain upright (written 2 symup{pi i}, the denominator still shows Euler math letters). Uppercase Greek letters, such as the Gamma function, are now italic rather than upright, but symbols based on Greek letters, such as summation and product, remain the same.
Essentially, this adds a few lines to the bottom of the preamble filling in all the remaining math alphabets and setting up digits to match the text font.

Here again is the example with Neo Euler as the math font:
(The eagle-eyed will have noticed one more unexplained line of code, which sets the partial and nabla package options to upright. Neo Euler contains the upright ∂ symbol in U+2202, but not the cursive ∂ symbol at U+1D715, which confuses unicode-math. Otherwise, load U+1D715 from another math font.)
It is often a good idea to set up subscripts, superscripts, sub-subscripts and super-superscripts to use a smaller optical size, to make it more legible at smaller sizes. There are three methods. There might be a companion font designed for smaller sizes. which you would load with script-font=. (The commercial font Aldus is intended as this for Palatino.) Many fonts, including Latin Modern and all the TeX Gyre fonts, come with different optical sizes and you can select a smaller one, e.g. script-features={OpticalSize=8}, sscript-features={OpticalSize=6}. Finally, math fonts support the font features script-features={Script=Math, Style=MathScript}, sscript-features={Script=Math, Style=MathScriptScript}.
For more information, see the documentation of the unicode-math and fontspec packages.
The TeX Gyre Fonts
Latin Modern
This is the default font family loaded by unicode-math, but can also be set up explicitly. It is an OpenType version of Latin Modern, a clone of DEK’s Computer Modern, based on Monotype Modern, and of the AMS symbol fonts. The default fonts are therefore nearly identical to those of classic LaTeX.
This conversion is the work of the GUST project, which later created the TeX Gyre fonts from the free URW fonts, which were based on the Adobe PostScript fonts. All of these fonts (except TeX Gyre DejaVu Math, a conversion of an existing OpenType font into a math font) have similar repertoires and features. They support all European languages as well as Romanizations of other languages.
The vast majority of the fonts on this page similarly cloned an existing font, but changed the name to avoid confusion or to comply with the license. Some have gone through three or four iterations of this.
GUST is the Polish TeX users’ group. Many of the people most motivated to extend existing fonts were from Southern or Eastern Europe, since fonts that already covered Western European languages and Greek letters for math were almost able to support their native languages.

Neo Euler (Free but Incomplete)
A conversion by Khaled Hosny of the AMS Euler font designed by Hermann Zapf for the book DEK co-authored, Concrete Mathematics: A Foundation for Computer Science. It was originally matched with the font Concrete Roman, which is now available from the Computer Modern Unicode project as CMU Concrete. Euler goes well with Zapf’s other famous fonts, the serif font Palatino (and therefore its many clones, including Pagella and Asana) and the sans-serif font Optima (which has an OpenType clone, URW Classico). Linux Libertine and its extension Libertinus are also good matches for it, and Libertinus Math, also by Khaled Hosny, shows some similarities.
Neo Euler was abandoned in 2010 and has a smaller repertoire of glyphs than the other fonts (nor will Zapf, who passed away in 2015, draw any more), so if it is missing any glyph you need, you might want to load it with the range= option, to use it with a fallback font that contains the glyphs it’s missing. The following loads all glyphs defined in Neo Euler, loads CMU Concrete as the text font, and uses Libertinus Math as the fallback for the rest (such as the ratio).
Since Neo Euler has upright glyphs and no italic glyphs, it requires the math-style=upright option of unicode-math. Unfortunately, the font metrics for subscripts and superscripts appear to be broken, so this example turns off script style for letters and numerals. It also makes sure to load the Greek lowercase letters as upright. If you want to use it with the full range of math alphabets, see below for a demo of how to fill in the missing pieces from other fonts.

Garamond Math
As of June 2018, this font is still under development and not included in TeX distributions. It is available on GitHub. Some versions of EB Garamond are on CTAN, but not the full family, available here.
% LaTeX
setmainfont{EBGaramond-Regular}[

Berenis ADF Pro (Free but Incomplete)
This is another incomplete font not included with TeX Live. It is available gratis from the foundry. The text font also contains rare ligatures not shown here, as they look out of place in a mathematical text.
Whether this should be considered an “OpenType math font” is debatable. It lacks an OpenType math table, and unicode-math 0.81 will not consider it valid as the main math font. This sample falls back to Latin Modern Math as the default math font, then loads every glyph this font defines over that, which you can do for any TrueType or OpenType font. It contains only upright symbols, so it will only work with the math-style=upright option of unicode-math (or if you kitbash it to import symbols from the text fonts; see below).
Despite being licensed under the GPL2, it does not come with any source files.

Fira Math
This font is under development. It can be found on CTAN, or at github. It is forked from Fira fonts, which are also free. FiraGO supports many languages and Open Type features, and is available in both TeX Live and MikTeX.
As of October 2018, The Fira Math project a work in progress, and receives frequent updates. You should check that you have the latest version and whether any symbols you need are missing. If so, you can load those from another math font (such as TeX Gyre DejaVu Math) using the range= option of setmathfont.

Cambria Math (Commercial)
This is the font Microsoft Office uses for its equations. The font ships with Microsoft Windows Vista and later, with MS Office, and an early version was bundled with some versions of the MS Office viewers. Monotype sells licenses to use it on workstations and embed it in webpages, but the most likely way to have a legal copy of it on Linux is with a symbolic link in /usr/local/share/fonts/ or ~/.fonts to cambria_01.ttf on a Windows partition.

Stylistic Sets and Alternates
Many of these fonts contain either stylistic sets or stylistic alternates that allow you to select between different versions of some of the symbols in the font. STIX Two has an especially large number, and actually documents them. If a font doesn’t, you can still check what it currently supports by opening it in FontForge. This is in addition to the choices you can make with package options.
For example, both XITS and STIX Two include a Stylistic Set 8 with alternative upright integrals. (In fact, STIX Two supports every stylistic set XITS Math does.) You can select them as follows:
% LaTeX
setmainfont{XITS}
setmathfont{XITS Math}
setmathfont[range={"222B-"2233,"2A0B-"2A1C},StylisticSet=8]{XITS Math}
For comparison, here is the vanilla XITS example again:
A common use of these alternative styles is on the script alphabet. Traditionally, LaTeX had separate alphabets for mathcal and mathscr. However, the Unicode consortium decided that no mathematical texts use both of these with different meanings, so they were different presentation forms assigned to the same codepoints.
However, unicode-math allows you to load different alphabets as mathcal and mathscr, and also mathbfcal and mathbfscr. Some fonts, such as XITS, implement this as a stylistic set, some, such as Asana Math, implement it as a stylistic alternative, and others require you to load a different font of you want to do that. For example, to do it with Asana Math:
% LaTeX
documentclass[preview,varwidth]{standalone}
usepackage{microtype}
usepackage{unicode-math}
setmainfont[Ligatures={Common,Rare,TeX}]{Palatino Linotype}
% You might have Palatino or Palatino Linotype installed.
defaultfontfeatures{Scale=MatchLowercase}
setmathfont[Scale=MatchLowercase]{Asana Math}
setmathfont[range={cal,bfcal},
Alternate,
Scale=MatchUppercase]
{Asana Math}
begin{document}
Calligraphic: (mathcal{ABC}) qquad Script: (mathscr{ABC})
end{document}
Kitbashing Math Fonts
It is possible to load symbols from any font into a math style, and use them as symbols with symup. For example, nearly all fonts include a QED symbol at U+220E, but what it looks like varies considerably. To get the version in XITS Math (the black tombstone that matches the 1997 edition of The Art of Computer Programming), you can use the commands:
% LaTeX
documentclass[preview,varwidth]{standalone}
usepackage{amsmath,amsthm}
usepackage{unicode-math}
setmathfont[range=`∎]{XITS Math}
DeclareRobustCommandqedsymbol{ensuremath{symup{∎}}}
begin{document}
begin{proof}[Tautology]
True
end{proof}
end{document}
Another common request is to combine the letters of a text font family with the symbols of a math font. Since Neo Euler is the math font lacking italic letters at all, it makes a good example. A frequent recommendation is to combine Euler with Hermann Zapf’s other creation, Palatino. Since both Pagella and Asana are clones of Palatino, we can use Pagella as the text fonts and take all the missing glyphs, including italic math letters, from Asana.
This gives us the repertoire to convert the sample to ISO style (a great excuse to show off upright and italic math letters together). Constants such as π and i remain upright (written 2 symup{pi i}, the denominator still shows Euler math letters). Uppercase Greek letters, such as the Gamma function, are now italic rather than upright, but symbols based on Greek letters, such as summation and product, remain the same.
Essentially, this adds a few lines to the bottom of the preamble filling in all the remaining math alphabets and setting up digits to match the text font.

setmathfont[range=bb, Scale=MatchUppercase]{Latin Modern Math}
Here again is the example with Neo Euler as the math font:
(The eagle-eyed will have noticed one more unexplained line of code, which sets the partial and nabla package options to upright. Neo Euler contains the upright ∂ symbol in U+2202, but not the cursive ∂ symbol at U+1D715, which confuses unicode-math. Otherwise, load U+1D715 from another math font.)
It is often a good idea to set up subscripts, superscripts, sub-subscripts and super-superscripts to use a smaller optical size, to make it more legible at smaller sizes. There are three methods. There might be a companion font designed for smaller sizes. which you would load with script-font=. (The commercial font Aldus is intended as this for Palatino.) Many fonts, including Latin Modern and all the TeX Gyre fonts, come with different optical sizes and you can select a smaller one, e.g. script-features={OpticalSize=8}, sscript-features={OpticalSize=6}. Finally, math fonts support the font features script-features={Script=Math, Style=MathScript}, sscript-features={Script=Math, Style=MathScriptScript}.
For more information, see the documentation of the unicode-math and fontspec packages.

As rationale for not using the default math fonts is often to get better match with text fonts, it would be interesting to mention which scripts are supported by the matching text fonts. For example as a far as I know the TeX Gyre only support the Latin script, which is a serious limitation for use in automated document production where Unicode characters may pop up from Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, CJK, ...
