Hello!
I have a question about using mathcal letters. In all the years I've been using tex, I've never been able to get it to work properly. I was able to fix the problem, but now I have a situation that's not working.
When I use {\cal A}, \cal{A}, {\mathcal A}, or \mathcal{A}, I get an A in Courier type.
My fix has always been to put this command in the preamble: \font\mcal=MTMS
and then type \text{\mcal A} (in math) or just {\mcal A} in the text.
This works fine unless the mcal letter needs to be sub- or superscript. In that case, it appears the same size as a normal letter, rather than superscript size. I tried this:
\text{\scriptsize {\mcal A}}, to no avail.
Any suggestions for me? Thanks so much for your assistance!
Best regards,
Angela
