[Tex/LaTex] Mathsf Greek Symbols Lualatex

Question

I am using Lualatex with Latin Modern as math font. I want to produce mathsf greek symbols. However, it seems that it doesn't work for greek symbols (Using \setmathfont[\range=mathsf]{Latin Modern Math}). In regular pdflatex \mathsf{\greekletter} produces an sans serif greek symbol. So I wonder, is this also possible in lualatex? Preferably the same font as regular pdflatex (I think it's CM).

Kind Regards

Answer 1

For reasons that I find very mysterious, Unicode has the full range of Greek in sans serif bold, upright and italic, but it doesn't cover sans serif Greek in medium weight; to wit, there are

MATHEMATICAL SANS-SERIF BOLD CAPITAL GAMMA (U+1D758)
MATHEMATICAL SANS-SERIF BOLD ITALIC CAPITAL GAMMA (U+1D792)

and the other Greek letters (upper and lower case), but no medium weight ones.

So it's not surprising that \symsf{\Gamma} (or \mathsf{\Gamma} in an older version of unicode-math) gives no different symbol: there's none that satisfies the request.

You can get through with \textsf:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{unicode-math}

\begin{document}
$\Gamma\ne\textsf{\upshape Γ}\ne\symbfsf{\Gamma}$

$Γ\ne\textsf{\upshape Γ}\ne\symbfsf{Γ}$
\end{document}

A kludge, I know, but I can't offer any better. Of course the sans serif font defined in the document should support Greek.
