Abstract

Set up the Zapf Chancery font as script (calligraphic) math alphabet.

Obsoleted by the urwchancal_ package.

Versions

0.1: 2011-02-03 first published version
0.2: 2011-03-28 documentation update: deprecated by urwchancal

Introduction

The pzccal package sets up the Zapf Chancery font (pzcmi7t) as script (calligraphic) math alphabet \mathpzc. It provides options to scale the font and to configure the alias command name. By default, pzccal overwrites the predefined math alphabet command \mathcal.

The urwchancal package (developed independently and published less than a month after pzcal.sty) provides not only a style file but also virtual fonts solving problems with accents and spacing. Like pzcal, it provides both lowercase and capital Latin math script letters. It is highly recommended to use urwchancal.sty instead of pzcal.sty.

The bidirectional text <-> code converter PyLit can convert between pzccal.sty and pzccal.sty.txt.

The Python Docutils and pdflatex were used to generate the HTML and PDF documentation from the reStructuredText sources.

Requirements

This package uses fonts from the PSNFSS bundle. It also requires kvoptions.

Installation

Unpack pzccal.zip (preferably in a TDS documentation folder).
Make sure LaTeX can find pzccal.sty:

Copy/Move/Link it to a suitable place in the TDS and run texhash or place it in the current working directory (e.g. for testing).

Usage

It is highly recommended to use urwchancal:

\usepackage{urwchancal}

instead of

\usepackage{pzccal}
