Math signs?!

ferfolio

Hello

Im doing a roman - wedge serif called “Quadratta Serif” for text, not for screen.

http://typophile.com/node/35021

and Im having problems with the maths signs, so
i have a cupple of questions:

- Wich is the best way to test math signs (and numbers), and to know if they work or not?

- If im doing a text type, should i use low case numbers?

- Can math signs be innovative? or at least not boring? I am experimentig this, but i dont want to compromise legibility. I see this signs in romans and they are sans-serif’s like.

Thanxs a lot,
and hope this will help some other people...
