How to use fonts (the ones listed in mathalfa documentation) in math mode












1















I was looking for more fonts like mathcal, mathbb to use them in math mode, so I can distinguish different quantities, and I found this answer on TeX.SE to the question




What are all the font styles I can use in math mode?




In the first answer there is a list of all usable fonts in math mode which can be found at the end of the mathalfa documentation and it's like



enter image description here



Now, I read the poor documentation on the mathalfa package, without understanding enough to get those fonts. My question is: how do I use those fonts in math mode? Which package do I need to use them?
What are the commands with which I can choose between fonts?



Basically what I would like is something like (just to make an example)



Text [...] $esstix{A} = euler{A}$ 


What do I have to do? Even a more complete documentation with some examples would be good...

          mathalfa allows you to map fonts to the four standard command mathcal, mathscr, mathfrak, mathbb:



          documentclass{report}
          usepackage[cal=esstix,frak=euler,scr=boondox,bb= pazo]{mathalfa}
          begin{document}
          $mathcal{Esstix ABC}=mathfrak{Euler ABC}= mathscr{Boondox ABC}=mathbb{Pazo ABC}$
          end{document}


          enter image description here

          • Is it possible to have more than one style with newcommand or something like that, in addiction to mathcal, mathscr, mathfrak, mathbb?

          • Yes, with DeclareMathAlphabet or with newcommand. You only need to find out the needed nfss-declarations. Look in the code of mathalfa.

          • Could you provide an example for defining a single letter in a certain font, even with a new command?

          I'll post my own answer as I found a pretty simple way to achieve the resut I was looking for.
          With the command DeclareMathAlphabet, which syntax is



          DeclareMathAlphabet{<math-alph>}{<encoding>}{<family>}{<series>}{<shape>}


          you can define <math-alph> to be a new math alphabet.




          The arguments <encoding>, <family>, <series>, <shape> are the default
          values for this math alphabet in all math versions; these can be reset
          later for a particular math version by a SetMathAlphabet command. If
          is empty then the is declared to be invalid in all
          versions, unless it is set by a later SetMathAlphabet command.



          Checks that <math-alph> can be used and that <encoding> is a valid
          encoding scheme.



          In these examples, foo is defined everywhere but baz, by default, is
          defined nowhere.



          DeclareMathAlphabet{foo}{OT1}{cmtt}{m}{n}
          DeclareMathAlphabet{baz}{OT1}{}{}{}


          (from Index of /ctan-doc/macros/latex/doc/html/fntguide)




          All the combination available with the mathalfa package are available in the source code of mathalfa.sty on GitHub. Another list, with all the font abbreviation can be found on the mathalfa documentation (at the end of the pdf).



          I found particularly illuminating the answer to this question provided by the user cfr, which I thank for the illustration of the use of command
          DeclareMathAlphabet.



          I'll provide a simple example for future visitors:



          %PREAMBLE
          DeclareMathAlphabetmathzapf{T1}{pzc}{mb}{it}
          DeclareMathAlphabet{mathchorus}{OT1}{cmtt}{m}{n}
          DeclareMathAlphabetmathrsfso{U}{rsfso}{m}{n}
          % ...

          ]
          [
          mathrsfso{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ}
          ]

                I'll post my own answer as I found a pretty simple way to achieve the resut I was looking for.
                With the command DeclareMathAlphabet, which syntax is



                DeclareMathAlphabet{<math-alph>}{<encoding>}{<family>}{<series>}{<shape>}


                you can define <math-alph> to be a new math alphabet.




                The arguments <encoding>, <family>, <series>, <shape> are the default
                values for this math alphabet in all math versions; these can be reset
                later for a particular math version by a SetMathAlphabet command. If
                is empty then the is declared to be invalid in all
                versions, unless it is set by a later SetMathAlphabet command.



                Checks that <math-alph> can be used and that <encoding> is a valid
                encoding scheme.



                In these examples, foo is defined everywhere but baz, by default, is
                defined nowhere.



                DeclareMathAlphabet{foo}{OT1}{cmtt}{m}{n}
                DeclareMathAlphabet{baz}{OT1}{}{}{}


                (from Index of /ctan-doc/macros/latex/doc/html/fntguide)




                All the combination available with the mathalfa package are available in the source code of mathalfa.sty on GitHub. Another list, with all the font abbreviation can be found on the mathalfa documentation (at the end of the pdf).



                I found particularly illuminating the answer to this question provided by the user cfr, which I thank for the illustration of the use of command
                DeclareMathAlphabet.



                I'll provide a simple example for future visitors:



                %PREAMBLE
                DeclareMathAlphabetmathzapf{T1}{pzc}{mb}{it}
                DeclareMathAlphabet{mathchorus}{OT1}{cmtt}{m}{n}
