Computer Mod Math (ttf) / Computer Mot Math (otf)

Via FontForge change Latin Modern Math (that is a renamed Computer Modern). Apply Styles/Change Weight 20% + Transformations/Transform/Scale uniformly 90% to match MathJax TeX and letterforms be on the same control lines (check on caps and lows, check on every style and weight). Oops. Some letters would become too bold if I apply this transform indiscriminatively.
Hence I would need to select subset of letters to embolden a bit.

P.S. "Mod" is because emboldened version of Computer Modern would no longer be a modern (didone) typeface.

Commissioner {LGC}

Sans serif font. Add italic made via using other two flavours. Slant should be the same as in Noto Sans.

PT Serif {Lat+Cyr} + Noto Serif {Greek}

(Party Serif + Party Serif Flbk)

Party Serif (remove Greek from PT Serif). Greek fallback: Party Serif Flbk (fork of Noto Serif LGC). Only-Y-resize lowercase extended Greek. Do not touch other letters. This way I would have both uppercase and lowercase letters of the needed height. Find out what to do with tall lowercase letters. Name should still be OK in case I would extend resize to Latin and Cyrillic. Use "PT" in the history of the font only. Use Party Serif in the header. Test how combining symbols work with resized letters.

But first try font-face to override Greek and Coptic and Greek Extended Unicode ranges. In this case name change won't be needed.

Merriweather {Lat+Cyr} + Alegreya {Greek}

(Merry Weather + Merry Weather Flbk)

Same as above. Alegreya.

Lora {Lat+Cyr} + EB Garamond {Greek}

(Loria + Loria Flbk)

Same as above. EB Garamond.

Inspected Greek

May be:

  • Noto Serif (good for slab serif closer to transitional like - PT Serif),
  • Alegreya (good for slab serif closer to "sans with serifs" - like Merriweather),
  • EB Garamond (good for old-style serif - like Lora),
  • GFS Didot (good for transitional serif or didone - like Times),
  • Walleye (good for old-style serif or transitional serif closer to old-style - like Lora).

Nope: Crimson (Cochineal), Pliska (Tempora), CMU Serif, GFS Bodoni, XITS, Clara, DejaVu Serif, FreeSerif, Kelvinch, Liberation Serif (Tinos), New Ahena Unicode, Nimbus Roman No 9 L, TeX Gyre Bonum, TeX Gyre Pagella, TeX Gyre Schola, TeX Gyre Termes, Literata, Droid Serif (Noto Serif).
