-The {\tt rsfs} fonts are, in their natural states, very oblique, appearing to be slanted to the right at close to 45$^\circ$. In my opinion, this makes them less suited for use as a replacement for \verb|\mathcal|. (The \verb|\mathrsfs| package defines \verb|\mathscr| to use {\tt rsfs} for output.)
+The {\tt rsfs} fonts are, in their natural states, very oblique, appearing to be slanted to the right at close to 45$^\circ$. In my opinion, this makes them less suited for use as a replacement for \verb|\mathcal|. If you choose to use the {\tt rsfs} fonts, it is best to invoke them via the {\tt mathalpha} package. For example:
+\begin{verbatim}
+\usepackage[cal=rsfs,calscale=1.03]{mathalpha} % invoke as \mathcal scaled up 3%
+\end{verbatim}
+or
+\begin{verbatim}
+\usepackage[scr=rsfs,scrscale=1.03]{mathalpha} % invoke as \mathscr
+\end{verbatim}
-The purpose of this package is to make a collection of virtual fonts from the {\tt rsfs} PostScript fonts that remove much of the slant. The {\tt o} in {\tt rsfso} stands for {\tt oblique}, though {\tt acute} would be a better description. The end result is quite similar in appearance, modulo a few flourishes, to the commercial script font in the Adobe Mathematical Pi collection. Here is a sample (as a png snapshot) of the latter, produced via \verb|\usepackage[mathcal]{mathpi}|.

-The {\tt rsfso} package has two options: {\tt scr} causes a redefinition of \verb|\mathscr| rather than \verb|\mathcal|, and {\tt [scaled=1.1]} expands the size by a factor of 1.1, allowing you to match the size of the \verb|\mathcal| (or \verb|\mathscr|) output to your math font.

-The virtual font production and their metric adjustments were carried out using the author's freely available OS X program {\tt TeXFontUtility} which serves, among other functions, as a visual front-end to some {\tt fontinst} manipulations.

IMO, it is better to use it via the {\tt mathalpha} package, as it provides a shared syntax for loading a large number of mathematical alphabets.
