However, there are other useful calligraphic fonts included with +modern TeX distributions. +<dl> +<dt>Euler<dd> The <i>eucal</i> package (part of most sensible TeX + distributions; the fonts are part of the AMS font set) gives + a slightly curlier font than the default. The package changes the + font that is selected by <code>\</code><code>mathcal</code>. +<p/> Type 1 versions of the fonts are available in the AMS fonts + distribution. +<dt>RSFS<dd> The <i>mathrsfs</i> package uses a really fancy script + font (the name stands for “Ralph Smith’s Formal Script”) which is + already part of most modern TeX distributions. The package + creates a new command <code>\</code><code>mathscr</code>. +<p/> Type 1 versions of the font have been made available by Taco + Hoekwater. +<dt>Zapf Chancery<dd> is the standard PostScript calligraphic font. There + is no package but you can easily make it available by means of the + command +<pre> +\DeclareMathAlphabet{\mathscr}{OT1}{pzc}% + {m}{it} +</pre> + in your preamble. You may find the font rather too big; if so, you + can use a scaled version of it like this: +<pre> +\DeclareFontFamily{OT1}{pzc}{} +\DeclareFontShape{OT1}{pzc}{m}{it}% + {<-> s * [0.900] pzcmi7t}{} +\DeclareMathAlphabet{\mathscr}{OT1}{pzc}% + {m}{it} +</pre> +<p/> Adobe Zapf Chancery (which the above examples use) is distributed in + any but the most basic PostScript printers. A substantially identical + font (to the extent that the same metrics may be used) is + available from URW and is distributed with + <i>ghostscript</i>. +</dl> +Examples of the available styles are available on CTAN. +<dl> +<dt><tt><i>eucal.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/amsfonts/latex/eucal.sty">fonts/amsfonts/latex/eucal.sty</a> +<dt><tt><i>euler fonts</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/amsfonts/sources/euler.zip">fonts/amsfonts/sources/euler</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/amsfonts/sources/euler.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/fonts/amsfonts/sources/euler/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>euler fonts, in Type 1 format</i></tt><dd><a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/fonts/amsfonts/ps-type1/">fonts/amsfonts/ps-type1/</a> +<dt><tt><i>ghostscript</i></tt><dd>Browse <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/support/ghostscript/">support/ghostscript/</a> +<dt><tt><i>mathrsfs.sty</i></tt><dd>Distributed as part of <a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/jknappen.zip">macros/latex/contrib/jknappen</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/jknappen.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/jknappen/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>rsfs fonts</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/rsfs.zip">fonts/rsfs</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/rsfs.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/fonts/rsfs/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>rsfs fonts, in Type 1 format</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/rsfs/ps-type1/hoekwater.zip">fonts/rsfs/ps-type1/hoekwater</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/rsfs/ps-type1/hoekwater.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/fonts/rsfs/ps-type1/hoekwater/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>Script font examples</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/symbols/math/scriptfonts.pdf">info/symbols/math/scriptfonts.pdf</a> +</dl> +<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=scriptfonts">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=scriptfonts</a> +</body> |
