The problem with artificially differentiating the execution of Greek,
Hebrew, etc. characters for the purposes of maths setting is that it
makes the setting of everyday text in those scripts look quite
preposterous - flowery for the sake of being flowery, and a result that
isn't cohesive with the rest of the font.
The way Unicode has approached it is to have a range purely for letters
for maths setting - where distinction in weight, style, script, and
appearance can be absolutely assured. The range is at U+1D400-U+1D7FF.
