Nice! -- 
especially since "feta" cheese has been a protected designation of origin 
product in the European Union since 2002, 
whereas the name "Emmentaler" is not protected and thus available for any 
cheesemaker to use. The metaphor can easily 
get stretched too far, though: Emmentaler cheese is characteristically full of 
holes ...

Suggestion: The documentation 
led me to be confused as to the font name. For example, in the Notation 
Reference (v.2.14.2), section A.7 (page 575), 
one finds:

"A.7  The Feta font
The following symbols are available in the Emmentaler font ..."

Not exactly a top 
priority matter, but at some stage the terminology might be worth clarifying.
