Hi all, I'm struggling to typeset the math symbol "identity" ... it looks like a "1" but with double vertical lines. Hints very welcome ;-) What if we put together an extensive table of all math symbols available in ConTeXt at some point? Oliver

No, it's not this one, but really the figure "1" only featuring a double vertical stroke ... like {\Bbb R}. Oliver

no answers, but can you see it with \showmathcharacters ?

Wicked! That already comes quite close to a nice lookup table ... However, I can't see my little identity symbol :-( Any other ideas? Is it perhaps contained in \Bbb in some character slot? Oliver

Do you mean something like 1 at the end of eq (23) page 4 (3231) at http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~adityam/publications/conferences/cdc2006.pdf That symbol is from dsfont package in LaTeX. Fonts are not my forte, but maybe it can be used the same way as rsfs fonts. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Rsfs Aditya

Since I needed to use it in ConTeXt also, here is how to use it. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Doublestroke I reused the mb family since I do not expect anyone to use double stroke with blackboard bold. Aditya
