Summary description: Zapf Chancery as calligraphic math alphabet
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List by Scott Pakin describes the
use of Zapf Chancery as a mathematical alphabet that contains capital
and small Latin letters as well as digits. This allows full coverage
of the script Unicode Mathematical Alphabet with 8-bit LaTeX engines.
This package sets up the Zapf Chancery font as script (calligraphic)
math alphabet mathpzc. It provides options to scale the font and to
configure the alias command name. By default, it overwrites the
predefined math alphabet command mathcal.
