General ⇒ Package for lower case math mode calligraphic characters

Thanks for all your effort Stefan....

Unfortunately I'm getting the error: Undefined Control Sequence, <argument> \textfrc{l}

seems like we're close...

Hi Daniel,

probably you removed the suggested definition of \textfrc ... you may also write

Code: Select all

\newcommand{\mathfrc}[1]{\text{\frcseries#1}}

or even more directly

Code: Select all

\newcommand{\mathfrc}[1]{\text{\fontfamily{frc}\selectfont#1}}

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 post a small part of the PDF to show you....

peace

If you want you can post a screenshot image as attachment, even embedded in the text, or post a link to the pdf or post a part of the pdf as attachment here. I will look at it with pleasure.

Hey.. I don't know if this is relevant to anybody here now, but this thread was the top result on Google when I was searching for a way to make cursive-looking lower-case L's in LaTeX, but a far simpler solution than the one posted here (which I eventually found elsewhere) is to simply use the \ell command. I'm just posting it here in hopes that it will be easier to find for someone else who Googles it.

Hi Daniel,

It might have been added in latex default packages after the dicussion, but in case someone has trouble finding it (it took me a looooong time), what you're probably looking for about the letter 'l' is the command
\ell
