Bold math symbols

[Taco Hoekwater <taco.hoekwater@wkap.nl>]

Hi Matthew,

Here is a hack that apparently works ok with the Lucida fonts. It
gives you a 'boldmath' command much like latex has. Hope this was what 
you had in mind.

\definefontsynonym [BoldMathRoman]          [LucidaBright-Demi]
\definefontsynonym [BoldMathExtension]      [LucidaNewMath-Extension]
\definefontsynonym [BoldMathItalic]         [LucidaNewMath-AltDemiItalic]
\definefontsynonym [BoldMathSymbol]         [LucidaNewMath-Symbol-Demi]
\definefontsynonym [BoldMathAlpha]          [LucidaNewMath-Arrows-Demi]

\setupbodyfont[lbr]

\debuggerinfotrue

\def\boldmath{%
 \definebodyfont[14.4pt,12pt,11pt,10pt,9pt,8pt,7pt,6pt,5pt,4pt][mm]
	[mr=BoldMathRoman sa 1,
	 mi=BoldMathItalic sa 1,
	 ex=BoldMathExtension sa 1,
	 sy=BoldMathSymbol sa 1,
	 ma=BoldMathAlpha sa 1
	]\setmathfamilies
}

\starttext

$A\bf + A = \sqrt\alpha$

$A\bf\mf + A = \sqrt\alpha$

$\boldmath 
A\bf + A = \sqrt\alpha$

$A\bf\mf + A = \sqrt\alpha$

{\boldmath
$A\bf + A = \sqrt\alpha$
}

$A\bf + A = \sqrt\alpha$

\stoptext
