As an isolated symbol the \AR\ ligature might be used also in text mode outside a math expression. -Keeping in mind that only the ``italic'' shape is available, with the Computer Modern and the Times or Palatino variants, the ligature produced by \cs{AR} is sensitive to the text series declarations or commands. In math mode the bold symbol is available only through the explicit command \cs{ARb}. This asymmetry arises in order to avoid defining yet another math font group with an alphabet for medium math and a variant for bold math. Remember that when typesetting math, the various typesetting engines can handle a maximum of 16 alphabets; it does not happen very often, but while testing this very package with different fonts we eventually exceeded this maxim number and we produced an immediate fatal error. Therefore we decided that for just one glyph it was a totally useless to define a new math group and we went around this problem with a \cs{mathcoice} work-around that allows us to actually typeset in the proper math size within a box to be used in math mode; apparently complicated, but actually very simple. This, on the other side, forbids us to use the regular math font switching commands to adapt the font family to the requested one. +Keeping in mind that only the ``italic'' shape is available, with the Computer Modern and the Times or Palatino variants, the ligature produced by \cs{AR} is sensitive to the text series declarations or commands.
