I have a problem with set theory notation - and can't find a (RiscOS)
font which reproduces the 'open' R, C etc
In Archive articles about set theory (e.g. by Gerald Fitton) I use a
font called Mathscript for these "open" characters.
I'm told it originated from EFF (Electronic Font Foundry) and cost
�10, but there's nothing in the internal files of the font to say so;
only clue is the 1991 filedate. Since Edward Detyna died, I dunno
what the situation now is with EFF fonts.
Various other fonts come with an Open variant, and these might well do
your set-theory job. For instance EFF Eric (aka Gill) comes with an
Open variant alongside Bold, Italic, Ultrabold etc. I don't think it
matters mathematically whether the open font is serif or sans-serif.
(Methinks there was a Goudy Open too, but I can't say for sure
till new version of Fontdir Pro arrives and I can get at my old files!
I had a collection of Open fonts there.)
