Hi,

Can anyone show me how to write math contents in bold and italic fonts? {\bf } can only produce upright letters. In LaTeX, we can make use of the command \pmb for this purpose. Is there any shortcut like this in Context? Thanks.

Add

\definetypeface [boldmath] [mm] [boldmath] [latin-modern] [modern] [encoding=texnansi]

to your typescripts and then you can use \boldsymbol.

Hi Zhaopeng, I have no problem here, just \usemodule[amsl] and $\cal K$ provides a fancy $K$ On Tue, Jan 6, 2009 at 4:24 PM, Zhaopeng Xing wrote:

Thanks. I also want to know how to make euscript \mathcal like this. www.maths.usyd.edu.au/u/SMS/texdoc/euscript.pdf

Since euscript is part of amsfonts now. I tried amsl module, but found no effect. May I know how to trig euscript mathcal?

To use euler as your main math typescript, you can use

\definetypeface[mainface][mm][math][euler][euler][encoding=texnansi]

with an appropriate roman font (usually, I use palatino for text, and artemisia for presentations).

This method works well for most letters, both bold and italic, but for capital Greek \Omega \Gamma etc, bold but upright. Do you know how to make these letters in italic?

If you just want to use euler caligraphic, without changing other math fonts (although I do not think that euler blends well with lm), you can modify the idea of http://wiki.contextgarden.net/rsfs

As Zhichu said, \cal gives exactly euscripts.

Since euscript is part of amsfonts now. I tried amsl module, but found no

effect.

I personally consider amsl module to be deprecated. Currently, context has alternative ways of doing most of what amsl used to do. I would suggest against using it.

Thanks. I will discard it, too.

That is how Euler capital letters are supposed to look. It imitates the handwriting of mathematicians, which is upright and not italic. I do not know if there is a font that contains italic capital greek letters to match euler.

As you say, the hardwritten appearance is a feature of the euler fonts, and I don't think you can find a matching font elsewhere. Hermann Zapfs design is so distinctive that everything else will look out of place. Best wishes, Taco
