\textsc{Font Table for BBOLDX-Regular}:\\

\newpage
-This package creates two basic commands, \verb|\bbxfamily| and \verb|\bbbxfamily| to identify the fonts that should be considered regular and bold, and uses them to define macros \verb|\textbb| and \verb|\textbfbb| by which you may access any character, though not necessarily by convenient means as the fonts do not completely follow any standard encoding. Nonetheless, it does understand Roman letters and digits, as well as some punctuation and symbols: e.g., \verb|\textbb{(A)b[1].,!?<>-}| renders as \textbb{(A)b[1].,!?<>-}. Characters may also be accessed by consulting the above table for the position of the character. For example, lowercase psi is in slot 32 decimal={"20} (HEX), so \verb|\textbb{\char32}| or \verb|\textbb{\char"20}| yields \textbb{\char"20}. It also creates macros \verb|\mathbb|, \verb|\mathbfbb| that are specific to math mode but are more limited in scope but work as expected for all Roman alphabetic arguments.

-There are no special macros for digits because they are easily handled with \verb|\textbb{0}| through \verb|\textbb{9}| and \verb|\textbfbb{0}| through \verb|\textbfbb{9}|. (In this mode, \verb|\mathbb| and \verb|\mathbfbb| don't work as expected with numeric arguments.)
To use these in math you could use the \verb|\text| command from {\tt amsmath}, like
\begin{verbatim}
-\[\text{\txtbbalpha}+\text{\textbb{1}}\{\text{\txtbbbeta}>\delta\}}\]
+\[\text{\txtbbalpha}+\mathbb{1}_\{\text{\txtbbbeta}>\delta\}}\]
