-DSSerif is short for Double Struck Serif, and, while based on the Courier clone of URW++ (version 2), though much distorted, its double striking and weights are very much in the style of the STIX double struck fonts. The main difference between the two is that STIX is sans serif, while DSSerif is not. The only package option is {\tt scaled}, which may be used to scale the size, like
+DSSerif is short for Double Struck Serif, and, while based on the Courier clone of URW++ (version 2), though much distorted, its double striking and weights are very much in the style of the STIX double struck fonts. The main difference between the two is that STIX is sans serif, while DSSerif is not. The package has the following options:

+{\tt bbsymbols} (or {\tt symbols}) controls whether the font is set up as a symbol font. (The default is to set it up as a Math Alphabet, which makes more efficient use of the LaTeX limitation to just 16 math families.)
+\item {\tt bfbb} forces the package to not load the regular weight, but use \verb|\mathbb| as if bold were the regular weight.
