Key features

Lisnoti is derived from Noto's sans serif fonts, adapted so that nothing in a formula or a line of code can be mistaken for something else.

Equations

Lisnoti has a full OpenType MATH table, which means it can be used to typeset equations properly in LaTeX (using LuaLaTeX) and in Word.

The equations on this page are converted by Temml, a small open-source library, and set by the browser from Lisnoti's MATH table.

LuaLaTeX

With Lisnoti installed, use the following at the start of your LaTeX document to set the math font to Lisnoti. The last line ensures \mathcal produces the correct (chancery) capitals.

\usepackage{unicode-math}
\setmainfont{Lisnoti}
\setmathfont{Lisnoti}
\setmathfont{Lisnoti}[range=\mathcal, StylisticSet=1]

The second line of the snippet sets the main font to Lisnoti – delete the line if you don't want that.

Every character

Lisnoti has over 5,700 characters. Pick a group, then point at or tap a character.

Get Lisnoti

There are three ways to use Lisnoti, all free.

1. Install it
