I'll admit that I was thinking beyond eReaders when I mentioned a sci/math font. The word processor on my computer would also benefit. I can wait to add notes that include equations. But, I should not have to wait for a computer / reading system that can generate and display an equation.
Many years ago, in the ancient days of DOS, a scientific word processor (ChiWriter) implemented sci/math fonts. Equations flowed naturally with the text. They weren't an embedded graphic image. If a font existed, and was accepted, why couldn't that work? Yes, it would mean that in some cases the equations would be constrained, for example no excessivley large integral signs. But, I've seen it work and it frustrating that after 20+ years of computer advances, I still can't do what I was able to do back then.
(OK, sorry if I ranted, but it's been a pet peeve for a long time).
