Yes, you are right. There is a beta-test Latin Modern Math OpenType,
but I'm not sure if it is really supposed to be out there already.
It was my understanding at BachoTeX that Jacko didn't actually want
to have this version widely distributed (at least not yet).

Anyway, we are making progress (slowly, one by one) towards having
more choices of OpenType math fonts available.

Generally available:
* Cambria Math	-> MS / Tiro Typeworks (Ross Mills)
* Asasna Math	-> CTAN (A.S.)
* XITS Math	-> CTAN

Under development:
* Neo Euler	-> GitHub
* Latin Modern Math -> GUST
* Lucida Math	-> TUG / B&H (non-free)
* Maxwell Math	-> Tiro Typeworks (Ross Mills)

Planned:
* Libertine Math
* Minion Math	-> typoma (non-free)

Looks like we will eventually be getting somewhere (when everything
is finished and ready for release).

Regards, Ulrik
