Description

Noto Math used to have a mixture of sans and serif glyphs.
@khaledhosny made sans font really sans, but he scrapped lots of good characters.
Need to recycle them, without drawing new characters for now. Just take Latin/Greek from Serif.
First someone redraws integrals, then harmonizes + with serif, and eventually, in a year or two…
I checked, lots of work.
I can take this (no variable I just cannot work with), but you see my pace in Egyptian.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Review the requested scope of recycling Latin and Greek glyphs from Serif, then consider the separately mentioned integrals and plus-sign harmonization. Done would require a defined, reviewed plan for the substantial glyph work rather than only the broad stub request.
