Other packages (eg, {\tt txgreeks}, providing the option of upright or slanted Greek letters) extend the range of coverage of its macros. + +These packages contain some interesting math alphabets. The script alphabet glyphs (upper case only) seem to be identical to those in {\tt Mathematica5}, but the Fraktur font common to both packages is. as far as I can tell, distinct from the Fraktur of other major math font packages, and worthy of note. Blackboard bold comes in two different versions in {\tt txfonts} (openface and double-struck) and in yet another double-struck version in {\tt pxfonts}. The double-struck alphabets are similar in overall style to those in {\tt mathpazo} and {\tt Mathematica7}, with stems a mix of double-struck, regular weight and solid bold. + +The plan here is to provide virtual fonts for all these alphabets, plus packages that allow them to be used in stand-alone fashion and as part of the \textsf{mathalfa} package. + +The package contains the following files: those beginning with the letter `r' are `raw' fonts, not suitable for direct use, but sering as building blocks for some virtual math fonts. + +Raw fonts ({\tt .tfm} only), resolved in map file: + +\begin{tabular}{lll} +{\tt rtxmia}&Regular weight raw double-struck from {\tt txmia}.\\ +{\tt pxtx.map}&Map file for the above, resolving {\tt rtmia} to a re-encoded {\tt.pfb} file. +\end{tabular} + +Virtual fonts ({\tt.tfm} and {\tt.vf}): + +\begin{tabular}{lll} +{\tt txr-cal}&Regular weight calligraphic from {\tt txfonts} and {\tt pxfonts}.\\ +{\tt txb-cal}&Bold weight calligraphic from {\tt txfonts} and {\tt pxfonts}.\\ +{\tt txr-frak}&Regular weight fraktur from {\tt txfonts} and {\tt pxfonts}.\\ +{\tt txb-frak}&Bold weight fraktur from {\tt txfonts} and {\tt pxfonts}.\\ +{\tt txr-of}&Regular weight openface from {\tt txfonts}.\\ +{\tt txb-of}&Bold weight openface from {\tt txfonts}.\\ +{\tt txr-ds}&Regular weight double-struck from {\tt txfonts}.\\ +{\tt pxr-ds}&Regular weight double-struck from {\tt pxfonts}.\\ +{\tt pxb-ds}&Bold weight double-struck from {\tt pxfonts}. +\end{tabular} + +Font definition ({\tt.fd}) files: + +\begin{tabular}{lll} +{\tt utx-cal.fd}&Regular and bold weights, calligraphic.\\ +{\tt utx-frak.fd}&Regular and bold weights, fraktur.\\ +{\tt utx-of.fd}&Regular and bold weights, openface.\\ +{\tt utx-ds.fd}&Regular weight double-struck from {\tt txfonts}.\\ +{\tt upx-ds.fd}&Regular and bold weights, double-struck from {\tt pxfonts}. +\end{tabular} +\newpage + +Other support files: + +\begin{tabular}{lll} +{\tt pxtx-cal.sty}&Load regular and bold weights, calligraphic.\\ +{\tt pxtx-frak.sty}&Load regular and bold weights, fraktur.\\ +{\tt tx-of.sty}&Load regular and bold weights, openface.\\ +{\tt tx-ds.sty}&Load regular weight double-struck from {\tt txfonts}.\\ +{\tt px-ds.sty}&Load regular and bold weights, double-struck from {\tt pxfonts}.\\ +{\tt txbbenc.enc}&Encode bb glyphs from {\tt txfonts} into {\tt\small ASCII} slots. +\end{tabular} + +\section{The interesting font files} +The files ({\tt.afm} and {\tt.pfb}) with glyphs of interest are: +\begin{verbatim} +txmia, txbmia---Fraktur (UC, lc) and Double-Struck (regular weight only) +txsy, txbsy---Calligraphic (UC) +txsyb, txbsyb---Openface (UC) +pxsyb, pxbsyb---Double-Struck (UC) +\end{verbatim} + +In all cases except {\tt txmia}, the glyphs are in their normal {\tt\small ASCII} slots, named `A', `B', etc. A re-encoding of {\tt txmia} to bring the double-struck glyphs into those {\tt\small ASCII} positions and names simplifies the \textsf{fontinst} issues.
