Hi again,

I went again through the font-families and font-shapes in math and I saw 
that

- with font-family serif (which I think one abbreviates as rm in 
TeXmacs) and math-font-shape right, now symbols are interpreted as 
mathematics (this should be the status reached at revision 13165, 
reading from your message).

- if the font-family is sans-serif *and* the math-font-shape is right, 
then the symbols entered are interpreted as text; e.g. asterisks appear 
as asterisks, dashes as dashes. Font-family ss on its own lets 
mathematics be interpreted as mathematics.

Is this what we want, or is it a bug?
