I am trying to use \mathbb. It seems that this command requires \usepackage{amsfont}. But as soon as I use this package, my MikTeX 2.9 installation complains that it doesn't find amsfont.sty. So where is it and how do I install it?

Here's the "formula" that I try to process:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amstext} 
\usepackage{amsmath} 
\usepackage{amsfont} 
    \pagestyle{empty}

    \begin{document}
     $   \mathbb{R}^n   $
    \end{document}

I should also note that there is a file with the name amsfonts.sty under MiKTeX-2.9\tex\latex\amsfonts (note the plural, amsfonts.sty vs amsfont.sty).

The complete error message is:

Answer 1

Try amsfonts, with an s at the end.
