## Mathcal fonts

 Hi, I am using the mathcal fonts in my LaTeX equation as in :  $\mathcal{X}$ . However, I just discovered that there are no version of these fonts for small letters. Any mathcal font with small letters in arguments produces a weird symbol not as neat as the capital letters. I searched in the AMS documentation about what font I could use to make an equivalent of the mathcal capital letters in small letters, but found nothing. Would anyone know what font to use to make an equivalent of the mathcal capital letters in small letters? Thank's alot Emmanuel _________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/_______________________________________________ MiKTeX-Users mailing list [hidden email] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/miktex-users

## Re: Mathcal fonts

 As far as I know, they don't exist (at least, not in the AMS distribution), probably, because the mathematicians don't need them :) > -----Original Message----- > From: [hidden email] [mailto:miktex-users- > [hidden email]] On Behalf Of Emmanuel Racine > Sent: Friday, August 22, 2008 5:52 PM > To: [hidden email] > Subject: [MiKTeX] Mathcal fonts > > > Hi, I am using the mathcal fonts in my LaTeX equation as in : > $\mathcal{X}$ .

The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbols List is a good place to look for a particular shape.  The name of the package is "comprehensive". You can also search the Windows fonts folder for the shape you need. Xe(la)tex may allow you to use a symbol found in a system font directly (generally as a text font, so in a \mbox for latex), or you can try to make the font available to LaTeX. If all that fails, look for the symbol in a book or paper and put a scanned image (.png) on the web where we can view it. -- George N.

Dear friends, George N. White III mentioned package "comprehensive", see above, as a way of getting lots and lots of mathematical symbols. I have tried to install the package with the Package Manager.  Six files were downloaded as detailed in the Package Manager Window but I am not sure as to whether the package was properly installed.  Anyway when I run the following latex file \documentclass[12pt]{report} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{comprehensive} \begin{document} Hello. \EndDoc I get the diagnostic LaTeX Error: File 'comprehensive.sty' not found. I am using the most recent update of MiKTeX 2.7. Can someone help? I need to use a special symbol in a book contribution. Thank you in advance. ------------------------------- Andreas Antoniou Professor Emeritus Dept. of Elec. & Comp. Eng. University of Victoria P. O.

I need to use a special symbol in a book contribution. The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbols List is a document that presents tables of many fonts.   After installing the package you need to view the formatted documentation using texdoc: C:\testing>texdoc -l comprehensive C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\doc\info\symbols\comprehensive\symbols-a4.pdf C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7\doc\info\symbols\comprehensive\symbols-letter.pdf -- George N.
