<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label scriptfonts</title>
</head><body>
<h3>Better script fonts for maths</h3>
<p/>The font selected by <code>\</code><code>mathcal</code> is the only script font ‘built
in’. 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.
