For example, script D, N, and S are often used in +functional analysis for domain, nullspace, and Schwartz class. +Script L and H are the standard symbols for lagrangian and +hamiltonian densities in quantum field theory. These formal +script symbols may be contrasted with informal scripts such +as the one designed by H. Zapf and used as `calligraphic' +symbols in the TeX math symbol font. +I have tried to be fairly conservative, and closely imitated +a formal script type designed by R. Hunter Middleton. This is +similar to Typo Script and Marina, as well as the font used +by the typesetters at Springer Verlag. All are based on the +so-called Spencerian or Copperplate hand lettering which +prevailed in the eighteenth century. + +These programs were not designed with much `meta-ness' in mind. +Although formal script is subject to many stylistic variations, +radical changes in weight or slant violate my sense of taste. +This is a first revision, and certainly does not reflect much +expertise in METAFONT programming. It has been checked for +legibility and spacing. + +I have tested these fonts on some 300dpi printers (ink-jet and laser), +but not at other resolutions. I suspect they won't look very good at +low resolution (because of the instrinsic detail). Comments from users +of the fonts are welcome; please describe your printer and metafont +parameters when relevant. I will probably revise the sources and hope +to add lowercase letters to make a text font. + +You are welcome to use and distribute these files; if you modify them, +please change the name but give credit to the original author! + + - Ralph Smith + Physics 0319 + Univ. of California -- San Diego + 9500 Gilman Drive, La Jolla CA 92093-0319 + + E-mail: rasmith@ucsd.edu + + +Notes on the files: + +README - this file +rsfsX.mf (X = 5,7,10) - set sizes for Xpt font and calls driver +script.mf - driver +scriptu.mf - character programs +scrload.tex - TeX code to make these symbols available with + a \scr macro (to be used like \cal) + +To compile a font, run Metafont with CMBASE: at the MF prompt, type + + &cm \mode=localfont; input rsfs10 + +Then run gftopk, put the PK and TFM files in the appropriate places, +and TeX away. + -- cgit v1.2.3
