Of course it should work, that's the main idea of a math alphabet. The only problem that might arise is that if \sfmath denotes, say cmss/m/n, this font might not be available in script size (but this is a question how we set up \new@fontshape). If it is not available there will be a warning, or if tracefnt.sty is used there will be an error. Try tracefnt as an option and set \tracingfonts=3D3 to watch loading and switching to text and mathfonts.

Did you tried this? Of course it should work, that's = the main idea
of a math alphabet. The only problem that might arise = is that if
\sfmath denotes, say cmss/m/n, this font might not be = available in
script size (but this is a question how we set up = \new@fontshape).
If it is not available there will be a warning, or if = tracefnt.sty
is used there will be an error. Try tracefnt as an = option and set
\tracingfonts=3D3 to watch loading and switching to = text and mathfonts.
