I'm writing a file about algebraic topology, which means that I need all sorts of mathematical symbols, along with many various packages. I tried to use MnSymbol
for its various arrows, only to find out that it is incompatible with amssymb
and amsfonts
.
Cutting out those two packages introduces new problems: \mathbb{..}
doesn't work.
How is a mathematician supposed to use MnSymbol?
Currently, I am using the following packages:
etex
, babel
, inputenc
, fontenc
, charter
, MnSymbol
, amsmath
, ntheorem
, framed
, tikz
, bookmark
, hyperref
, xy
, mathtools
, graphicx
, animate
, color
, subfigure
, caption
, verbatim
, multirow
, longtable
, wrapfig
, cancel
, enumitem
, tocloft
, geometry
, stmaryrd
, ulem
, titlesec
, fix-cm
.

MnSymbol
is indeed imcompatible withamssymb
andamsfonts
. To use the AMS blackboard font in conjunction withMnSymbol
, you can add the following to the preamble of your document:\DeclareMathAlphabet\mathbb{U}{msb}{m}{n}
By the way, which symbol do you use from
stmaryrd
? If there is a similar symbol inMnSymbol
, I would suggest to use that one for more consistency.
