 without silently quantizing the sizes.

 Lucida fonts generally need to be reduced in scale to match other math and text fonts.
 \item Zapf Chancery need to be scaled up by 15\% or so. This font is not really suited for use as a math alphabet due to the disparate heights and depths and the long tails on some glyphs. Use with care.
 \item Mathematica fraktur is quite readable, but not very attractive, seeming to have random variations in baseline and height. It's also a bit too heavy to be a good match to most other fonts. Similar comments could apply to Lucida fraktur, which has a very distinctive appearance with some features more similar to \textsf{Duc de Berry} than to other fraktur fonts.
-\item The calligraphic fonts break down into four natural groups---(i) the upright styled Euler and Curly; (ii) the less-embellished CM, Lucida, Zapf Chancery, ESSTIX and Mathematica; (iii) the moderately sloped but more embellished Mathpi, Mathtime, rsfso and boondoxo; (iv) the heavily sloped rsfs and the slightly less sloped boondox. My preference, if not using \textsf{mathtime} or \textsf{lucida}, is to set \verb|\mathcal| to one from group (ii) and \verb|\mathscr| to one from group (iii).

 \item Blackboard bold can look poor in some cases. In my opinion, AMS bb and some of the others show up as ghostly (gray and indistinct) especially on the screen and may not appear to match the weights of other math glyphs. (Both AMS bb and Mathtime Pro 2 Holey Roman appear to be formed by removing the interiors of solid glyphs from a bold, seriffed font. Mathtime Pro 2 Holey Roman Bold is a much better fit to most math fonts of weight heavier than Computer Modern.) Fourier,  Mathpi, ESSTIX and boondox bb appear to be very close in style, with mathpi bb a bit less sharp. Mathpazo bb and Mathematica bb have a heavier appearance and should work better with fonts other than Computer Modern.
