Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ handwritten fonts

[lasse]

How do I write math formulas so they looks handwritten?

You could use Scott Pakin's comicsans package. (Installation instructions in the PDF.)

I really really hate that font.

Another option would be to compile with XeLaTeX, and use the mathspec package to pick some other handdrawn font, e.g.:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage{mathspec}
\usepackage{xltxtra,xunicode}
\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text}
\setmathfont(Digits,Latin){Domestic Manners}
\begin{document}
\blindmathpaper
\end{document}

(Replace "Domestic Manners" with the same of some hand-drawn font you have on your system, or, if you like install it.)

That would only give you the letters and digits in the font, though, not the actual mathematical operators.

I don't know whether or not it's possible to use the emerald package fonts in math mode. Perhaps I'll investigate.
