Just a note about the Greek terminal form of sigma: when dealing with Greek numerals, ςʹ (the final form of sigma) is 6 while σʹ (the non-final form of sigma) is 200; they need to be differentiated whatever the font engine decides to render.
- brewmarche 4y agoThanks, good to know. I’ve also realised that determining which form to use in mathematical formulas is maybe not that straightforward. Edit: by which I mean that I’ve only seen the non terminal form so far in maths but it’s hard to write an algorithm that distinguishes between a word ending in sigma and some juxtaposition of Greek variables.
