Make MnSymbol usable with unicode-math

[uhoefel]

While MdSymbol seems to work with \setmathfont{MdSymbol} just fine, MnSymbol doesn't work without ugly workarounds (http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/152714/possible-to-use-mnsymbol-with-luatex). I don't know how much work is needed to achieve compatibility and I don't know how to work with MATH tables from otf fonts, otherwise I'd try to help. It'd be great if MnSymbol could be made fit for the future, as LuaTeX will succeed pdfLaTeX sooner or later and already has some "killer"-packages like selnolig.

Since MdSymbol and MnSymbol define symbols not defined in unicode, I think the main objective would be to make sure the respective packages also work flawlessly with lualatex. Having a nice opentype math would mainly benefit other programs (is it an issue that there a no letter symbols?). So I will investigate the packages (don't hold your breath), and I will start with mdsymbol.

Nice to hear 👍
There is a thread on stackexchange mentioning some of the problems:
