On Thu, 19 Jul 2012, J.J. Green submitted the
bguq
package.
Summary description: An improved quantifier stroke for Begriffsshrift packages
License type: lppl/gpl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The bguq font contains a single character: the Begriffsshrift quantifier
(in several sizes), as used to set the Begriffsshrift (concept notation)
of Frege.
This package is not intended for end users, instead it is expected
that it will be used by other packages which implement the
Begriffsshrift. An (unofficial) modified version of Josh Parsons'
begriff.sty is included as an example of implementation.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package is located at
http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts/bguq
. More information is at
