Hi. I am having trouble finding the right incantation for summoning the correct Z. There are some doubly-lined versions of N, Z, Q, and R, that are used often to signify the sets of natural numbers, integers, rational numbers, and reals, respectively. Does anyone know how to get those? Here's a pic of the Z and Q. Note that there's white between the lines -- not fill. ----- ------------------- -/ \- / / / | \ / / / | \ / / / | \ | / | | | / | / | \ / / | | | / / | | | / / | | | / / \ | / / / | | | | | \ | / / / \ \ / / / \ |\- / / -\ /- \ ------------------- ----- \ -- --Ed L Cashin | PGP public key: ecashin@uga.edu | http://noserose.net/e/pgp/

math-tex defined:
\definemathcommand [integers] {\mfunction{Z}} \definemathcommand [reals] {\mfunction{R}} \definemathcommand [rationals] {\mfunction{Q}} \definemathcommand [naturalnumbers] {\mfunction{N}} \definemathcommand [complexes] {\mfunction{C}} \definemathcommand [primes] {\mfunction{P}}
support for blackboard letters depends on the fonts you use, so math-ams defined:
\definemathcommand [integers] {\blackboard{Z}} \definemathcommand [reals] {\blackboard{R}} \definemathcommand [rationals] {\blackboard{Q}} \definemathcommand [naturalnumbers] {\blackboard{N}} \definemathcommand [complexes] {\blackboard{C}} \definemathcommand [primes] {\blackboard{P}}
so .. if you use the ams fonts, $\integers$ and $\rationals$ should work
I went grepping around for the commands that you and Giuseppe Bilotta refer to, but I couldn't find them. Perhaps my context version is too old? ecashin@marblerye tmp$ texexec --version TeXExec 1.9 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2000 -- --Ed L Cashin | PGP public key: ecashin@uga.edu | http://noserose.net/e/pgp/

I apologize for offending everyone by using this old version. :) After a long-overdue upgrade, it works with "\integers". -- --Ed L Cashin | PGP public key: ecashin@uga.edu | http://noserose.net/e/pgp/

Normally they're called "blackboard" letters. I know there are several fonts in every TeX distro. But I don't know how to access them in ConTeXt. Sure, the low level way will work, but I guess there's something better available. Grüßlis vom Hraban! -- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/

$\blackboard{Z}$ should work if you're using the AMS collection (\usemathcollection[ams] from memory, check it) -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
