[comp.text.tex] Best font for Fourier Transform operator?

nraoaoc@nmt.edu (Daniel Briggs) (03/24/91)

The title pretty much sums up my question.  A common way of writing the
statement, "The Fourier Transform of the function I is the function V"
is simply "F\,I = V" or "F[I] = V", where the F is a large cursive letter.
The problem is, I haven't found a font that looks the same as the one
used in most math text books.  The closest I have come is the medium weight
Euler Fractur font in AMS TeX, but that isn't really right.  The letter
produced by \cal F in LaTeX isn't even close.  I can't very well show you
what I *do* want, but there's a couple of examples of it on page 8 of
Bracewell's book, _The Fourier Transform and Its Applications_.  It's a
pretty common notation, so you should be able to find plenty of examples
of what I mean.  Pointers, anyone?  Thanks!
