plain ^^^: \cal
\cg is just like \rm, \ss, \tt and \hw: a full set of some style. \cg
and \hw are only defined for Lucida. All are rather heavy font switches.

M. Dowes of AMS is doing some clever things currently. When taco and I
have some time to spend, we will make a beautiful math module.

Well, because %D makes sure \frak is not defined, and the mc is bound to
the euler/concrete macros.

As meant to.

This should go into font-ini.tex, just like the OldStyle:
\definefont [frak] [Fraktur sa \currentfontscale]
\definefont [goth] [Gothic sa \currentfontscale]
\definefont [cal] [Caligraphic sa \currentfontscale]
\definefontsynonym [Fraktur] [unknown]
\definefontsynonym [Gothic] [unknown]
\definefontsynonym [Caligraphic] [unknown]
And this should go into font-cmr or whatever else font definition file.
Simply linking logical names to file names.
\definefontsynonym [Fraktur] [eufm10]
\definefontsynonym [Gothic] [eufm10]
\definefontsynonym [Caligraphic] [cmsy10]
And then, you can say:
\frak Tobias \goth Burnus \cal CHEMICUS
Beware, there is no family support in this solution, which is not that
problemantic here. When taco has finished his fonts and symbols project,
we will come with a decent solution for the lack of families.
(Everything else would be and can be considered a hack).
