[latexrefman] sript-like vs cursive

[Hefferon, Jim S.]

My dictionary says

 1. the letters or characters used in writing by hand; handwriting

I think that is a fair description for someone trying to understand the style of font, so I'd leave it.

Regards,
Jim

Dear Jim,

Thank for replying to my previous post, I am well, I hope that you are too.

I am still on propagating your r641. I noticed that in node
Calligraphic two terms are used « script-like » and « cursive » to
qualify the math calligraphic font. It is a bit confusing.
Additionally, I am not sure that these are exact synonyms. I tend to
feel that cusive is something in between script-like and print-like
fonts, it looks like hand writing, but it has the regularity and
overall symmetry of a print-like font.

So I wish to replace all the script-like by cursive in this node (like
in the current French version counterpart), and I am seeking yor
consent.

The French for cursive is just cursive. I am not sure how to translate
« script-like », I would say literally « simili-manuscrit », but on
this page https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ffontmeme.com%2Fpolices%2Fpolices-ecrituremanuscrite%2F&data=05%7C01%7Cjhefferon%40smcvt.edu%7C6dc9741a6b7841ba550408da815b9bdc%7Ccba7935edf564a6e9e66e8b9adbfaba4%7C0%7C0%7C637964528140129869%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=DdFBJtzNMGaG6EUsf5b%2BPP%2BcqWA9Q9w0j7KVM9FOjuQ%3D&reserved=0
they use the term « écriture manuscrite » (which means « hand-writing
»).
