I reported their use of reserved code points back as well as a lot of glyphs
that are not implemented but do not have a .notdef glyph in place either.

In this case some things were in need of revision if Stix really has as aim to
make technical publication better supported. It's a good step in the right
direction though.

Otherwise, the fonts really work nicely and given how Opera added MathML
support (not fully fleshed out yet) in the 9.5 beta, things look very
interesting on that technical publication front.
