[comp.text] Using AMS Euler script fonts

agw@cs.columbia.edu (Art Werschulz) (07/26/89)

Hi.

I would like to use the AMS Euler font instead of the usual cmsy font
for calligraphic capital letters.  One reason is that several people
have have difficulty distinguishing ${\cal S}$ from $S$.

After poking around a bit, I decided to do the following:

\font\eusmten=eusm10 \font\eusmseven=eusm7 \font\eusmfive=eusm5
\textfont8=\eusmten \scriptfont8=\eusmseven \scriptscriptfont8=\eusmfive
\def\cal{\fam8 }

Things like $SS^*{\cal S}$ worked fine, as well as ${\cal S}_n$.

Unfortunately, I ran into trouble with 
$$\inf_{s\in{\cal S}_n}$$
The "n" was placed on the bottom loop of the "S", rather than below
and to the right.  It looks as if the "n" was situated OK vertically,
but that the horizontal displacement was wrong.

Does anybody have a fix for this?
