I am looking for a second set of alphabets for my article.
I have seen this post which looks great but it does not cover small letters (only capitals).
\mathfrak
is a good option too, except for a very ugly and ambiguous x
letter:
I am wondering if there is another alternative which covers small letters.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb}
\usepackage{yfonts}
\begin{document}
\begin{align}
&\mathfrak{abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz} \\
&\mathfrak{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ}
\end{align}
\end{document}
The font should be different enough to be distinguished from normal default font but readable enough so no ambiguity happens.

This is compiled in LuaLaTeX. I can use
\setmathfont
with therange
specifier to limit the extent of the font substitution. Here, I set the math font toOld English Text MT
found by default on Windows systems, but limit it to the range of\mathfrak
. In essence, it substitutes only for\mathfrak
, until the\setmathfont
is used to later reset the feature to theLatin Modern Math
defaults.Alternately, if the new fraktur font replacement is already available for pdflatex, then an approach like this can be used (based on the answer at Is it possible to use the DeclareFontShape command with kpfonts?):
