However -lower-case Greek letters behave differently from upper-case Greek -letters (due to Knuth’s esoteric font encoding decisions). However, -<code>\</code><code>mathbf</code> <em>can’t</em> be used even for upper-case Greek letters in -the AMSLaTeX <i>amsmath</i> package, which -disables this font-switching and you must use one of the techniques -outlined below. -<p/>The Plain TeX solution <em>does</em> work, in a limited way: -<blockquote> -<pre> -{\boldmath$\theta$} -</pre> -</blockquote><p> -but <code>\</code><code>boldmath</code> may not be used in maths mode, so this ‘solution’ -requires arcana such as: -<blockquote> -<pre> -$... \mbox{\boldmath$\theta$} ...$ -</pre> -</blockquote><p> -which then causes problems in superscripts, etc. -<p/>These problems may be addressed by using a bold mathematics package. -<ul> -<li> The <i>bm</i> package, which is part of the LaTeX tools - distribution, defines a command <code>\</code><code>bm</code> which may be used anywhere - in maths mode. -<li> The <i>amsbsy</i> package (which is part of AMSLaTeX) - defines a command <code>\</code><code>boldsymbol</code>, which (though slightly less - comprehensive than <code>\</code><code>bm</code>) covers almost all common cases. -</ul> -<p/>All these solutions cover all mathematical symbols, not merely Greek -letters. -<dl> -<dt><tt><i>bm.sty</i></tt><dd>Distributed as part of <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/required/tools.zip">macros/latex/required/tools</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/required/tools/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/bm.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>amsbsy.sty</i></tt><dd>Distributed as part of AMSLaTeX <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/required/amslatex.zip">macros/latex/required/amslatex</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/required/amslatex/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/amsbsy.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>amsmath.sty</i></tt><dd>Distributed as part of AMSLaTeX - <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/required/amslatex.zip">macros/latex/required/amslatex</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/required/amslatex/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/amsmath.html">catalogue entry</a> -</dl> -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=boldgreek">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=boldgreek</a> -</body> |
