XeTeX: What happened to \mathcal and \mathscr?

Closed 7 years ago.

I'm trying to use \mathscr in my documents, but it just doesn't show up. I'm using MacTeX, with pdfTeX and XeTeX version 3.1415926 and TeXShop version 3.26. As an MWE, I can use:

%!TEX TS-program = xelatex  
%!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode  
\documentclass[a4paper]{report}  
\usepackage{mathrsfs}  
\begin{document}  
$\mathscr{abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz}$  
\end{document}  

the first two lines being TeXShop's way to be told to use XeLaTeX (though using pdfTeX changes nothing) and to save the document in UTF-8 Unicode encoding. How do I get the \mathscr to appear?

You have to define a math font, e.g. XITS Math

%!TEX TS-program = xelatex
%!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode
\documentclass[a4paper]{report}
\usepackage{unicode-math}
\setmathfont{XITS Math}
\setmathfont[version=setB,StylisticSet=1]{XITS Math}
\begin{document}
$\mathscr{abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz}$

$\mathscr{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST}$

\mathversion{setB}%
$\mathscr{abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz}$

$\mathscr{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST}$
\end{document}
