\begin{itemize}
\item
the default, called by \verb|\mathbb| is quite ugly and indistinct, but does cooperate with the bolding macros \verb|\bm| and \verb|\boldsymbol|;
-\item the original variant form called with the macro \verb|\varmathbb| is better, but the macro conflicts with \verb|\bm|. (In fact, the bold version is identical to the regular version, but it is still not right that it conflicts with them.) The problem stems from the part of the definition of \verb|\varmathbb| which allows you to insert an argument with more than one character, like \verb|\varmathbb{ABC}|. The solution is to make a new macro that takes a single argument, like \verb|\vmathbb{A}|, which cooperates with \verb|\bm|.
+\item the original variant form called with the macro \verb|\varmathbb| is better, but the macro conflicts with \verb|\bm|. (In fact, the bold version is identical to the regular version, but it is still not right that it conflicts with them.) The problem stems from the part of the definition of \verb|\varmathbb| which allows you to insert an argument with more than one character, like \verb|\varmathbb{ABC}|. Another problem with \verb|\varmathbb| is that it conflicts with {\tt hyperref}---if you use the macro in a moveable argument such as a section heading, you will provoke a \LaTeX\ error message. The solution is to use macros that take a single character as argument, like \verb|\vmathbb{A}| and \verb|\vvmathbb{A}|, which both cooperate with \verb|\bm| and {\tt hyperref}.
\item the third, new, alphabet is borrowed from the STIX fonts---it is sharp and quite clear, geometric in design. The only slight problem is that it lacks a full bold version, with only the letters C, D, H, N, P, Q, R, Z, d, e, i and j available. The macro \verb|\vvmathbb| provided to access this alphabet allows only a single character for its argument. The new option {\tt vvarbb} effectively makes \verb|\mathbb| mean the same as \verb|\vvmathbb|.
(The reason for including these in the \textsf{newtx} package rather than calling them from the \textsf{mathalfa} package is that \textsf{newtx} leaves very little space for new math symbol fonts and math alphabets, and this way requires no additional such resources.
