I have been using Noto fonts for a more than 6 months now (mostly Indic fonts) and quite pleased with them. And just saw that they have "Noto Sans Brahmi" in the pipeline. Although Brahmi script (ancient Indian script used around 300 BC) entered Unicode in 2010, there is not a single font available that covers Brahmi.

I also couldn't find any font that covers mathematical symbols from the SMP.

EDIT: Just downloaded the zip archive. Unix permissions for the Bengali and Gurmukhi fonts are different from the rest of them.

For math Symbols: Cambria Math and DejaVu Sans should have them. http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/fontsbyrange.html#u1d400
That was an interesting comment. May I ask, as a follow-up comment, what you meant by

mathematical symbols from the SMP

as I did the expected Google search, and I am not sure that the search results I see refer to what you were referring to.
