I think the question that Marcos is asking is a little different.

Math typography is slightly weird in that people like to invent their own symbols, and symbols are often very particular to quite a small group of mathematicians. Lots of the more common symbols have local variants that are only used within a specific nation, or within a grouping of academic institutions. So no font is ever going to be able to capture more than the most widely used variants of the symbols.

So what I think he wants is the ability to define custom new shapes at runtime and add them to some kind of gallery, and to be able to embed them into a document.
