Dear ConTeXt folks,
according to [1] the number sets were originally set using bold
characters and only on the blackboard the double strokes were used.
ConTeXt defines for example `\naturalnumbers` or `\reals` [2] which are
set using double strokes.
How can I redefine those to be just bold?
I've made something for an upcoming beta:
\startformula
   \reals
   {\mathbf R}
   \utfchar{"0211D}
   \utfchar{"1D411}
\stopformula
\setupmathematics
 [rendering=1]
I will prefer something more verbose than rendering=1. Perhaps, 
numbersets=blackboard and numbersets=bold.
...
\startformula
   \reals
   {\mathbf R}
   \utfchar{"0211D}
   \utfchar{"1D411}
\stopformula
That give the desired result. But we need to set up some rendering vectors so 
I need to discuss it with Aditya first.
A bit tricky. Is \reals == ℝ? That is, what if I type ℝ should the 
output be bold R, or should ℝ always map to the corresponding slot in the 
unicode math font?
...
And of course Aditya want as export
ℝ
𝐑
ℝ
𝐑
So that is also taken care of.
Thanks :)
