Hello,
I am having a problem with the mathcal fonts. Specifically, letters produced using the command
$\mathcal{A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z}$
are not identical to those shown in
Kopka and Daly, Guide to LaTeX, 4th ed., p. 127.
However, the letters A, C, E are identical to those shown in
Gratzer, More Math Into LaTeX, 4th ed., p. 197. (A, C, E are the only letters shown in Gratzer.)
I prefer the letters shown in Kopka and Daly because they have more embellishments, which I need for my purposes.
Below is the test LaTeX document that I used to generate the mathcal fonts. Typesetting the document generates the mathcal output I refer to. I typeset the document several times, each time commenting out one of the packages, and always got the same output.
I am using TeXShop 3.04 and MacTeX 2011 on a MacBook Pro running Lion 10.7.2. Typesetting uses LaTeX and pdfTeX.
I will greatly appreciate suggestions about how to get the mathcal fonts to be the ones shown in Kopka and Daly.
Happy holidays,
Raúl Martinez
