I'm using the mathbbol
package so I can use \mathbb
with Greek and lower-case letters. The package documentation states
Without options, the following commands are defined:
- \mathbb{A} to produce blackbord bold A. All upper and lowercase latin letters are accessible this way. It overwrites AMS-LaTeX's
\mathbb (and can be overwritten if you load amsfonts after mathbbol)
I am not seeing this functionality
\documentclass{article}
%\usepackage[bbgreekl]{mathbbol}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\begin{document}
%$\mu = \bbnu(a,b,c)$
$\mathbb{K}$
\end{document}
Specifically:
- With the
mathbbol
package commented out,\mathbb{K}
prints theamsfonts
verion (with
serifs) - With
mathbbol
,\mathbb{K}
prints themathbbol
verion (without
serifs), even thoughamsfonts
is loaded afterwards
How can I keep the normal amsfonts
versions for upper-case \mathbb{}
but also add the lower-case and Greek letters from mathbbol
?
Best Answer
Simply add the lines
in your preamble and use
\mathbbl
instead of\mathbb
for lowercase latin letters.MWE
The reason why simply loading
amsfonts
doesn't work is that inamsfonts.sty
you havewhich means to set the
\mathbb
alphabet toAMSb
only if it has not been defined.But it has been already defined by
mathbbol
to beso it doesn't work without that additional line.
