I finally made the script I promised to compare how different monospace fonts support math symbols. Here’s the result:

This new comparator doesn’t use fallback fonts, so you can see what’s actually included in each font (I realized that my original comparison in [Recommendation for a font with good Unicode support?](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/recommendation-for-a-font-with-good-unicode-support/39885/) was flawed, because when a symbol is missing from a font the system automatically takes it from another one, so what I was showing there was dependent on the particular fallback fonts that I happen to have on my system).

Looks like JuliaMono has a significant edge 🙂 though Iosevka is pretty good too.
