hey folks...it looks really nice now....I really wanted the cursive letters partly b/c my lab professor has really good handwriting (which I do not) and he used it in class ... I like the continuity of symbol use (especially since he's grading it) and it looks so cool...
I wish it were easier to ...

Re: Package for lower case math mode calligraphic characters
Hello again...
So I tried the suggested code in the previous post to allow cursive letter fonts on an on-call basis...the code works great in text mode, however in math mode it defaults back to italics...
I'm going to read up on 'new environment' and see if there's an easy fix...

Re: Package for lower case math mode calligraphic characters
Yeah !!
That's exactly what I want....
The newenviroment command is something I haven't seen before...any suggested reading?
maybe there should l be a sticky for this topic, since I'm sure other people (especially engineering and physics people)
would like to use cursive letters in their ...

Hi again...
\mathpzc{} is something...better than just ams math font for lower case L..
I really want a cursive font like \usepackage[default]{frcursive}

there has to be something...it's so common to write a length variable as a cursive l...

Re: Package for lower case math mode calligraphic characters
thanks Stefan...
Maybe I used the wrong term, what I'd like is cursive letters...(not calligraphic?)
I don't see that as an option on page 65, table 196....so I'm hoping there's a package..
seems kinda weird that there wouldn't be support for such a common math symbol..
any thoughts...?

Plain Text in Math Mode
Code: Select all
\text{}
spaces...in math mode spaces are automatic, so the text will be pushed right up against your equations...so you need to include spaces
Code: Select all
$2 \times \text{dumb\,example\,}=4$
good luck

Package for lower case math mode calligraphic characters
Good day...
I'm hoping that there is a package allowing one to have lower case calligraphic characters...
\mathcal{K} only works for capitol...
I use LaTeX mostly for my physics lab reports...and it's nice to have as many variations of common letter variables as possible...
