The DejaVu volunteer project (dejavu.sf.net) is maintaining a FLOSS
font set with wide unicode coverage (including many math symbols). You
can check if the fonts include the symbols you need, contribute or ask
for missing glyphs, signal problems, etc. New releases occur monthly
so changes can be integrated quickly.
As with any modern font mathematic glyphs are indexed in standard
unicode order, so you'll either have to produce a derivative with
glyphs re-arranged in the positions your software expects, or update
it to produce correct unicode strings
