  Description     : Palatino-like font with good math coverage


Its README says:

---- Clip here ----
The Asana-Math OpenType font includes almost all mathematical symbols
included in the latest version of Unicode. In addition, it includes
a MATH OpenType table so as to be useful for the typesetting of 
mathematical text. It has beeb tested with XeTeX 0.997 and the
output is comparable to the output produced with Cambria-Math.
The font is not finished yet, but it is released as beta software
in the hope that people will use it, diccover bugs and report
them back to me. Last but certainly least, I used the pxfonts as
a basis for the design of most glyphs.

That font software itself has no license information, but it must be the
GNU GPL, because pxfonts uses that copyleft-type license.
