Hi,

Can anyone show me how to write math contents in bold and italic fonts? {\bf
} can only produce upright letters. In LaTeX, we can make use of the command
\pmb for this purpose. Is there any shortcut like this in Context? Thanks.

Add

\definetypeface [boldmath] [mm] [boldmath] [latin-modern] [modern] [encoding=texnansi]

to your typescripts and then you can use \boldsymbol.

Thanks. I also want to know how to make euscript \mathcal like this.
www.maths.usyd.edu.au/u/SMS/texdoc/*euscript*.pdf

Since euscript is part of amsfonts now. I tried amsl module, but found no
effect. May I know how to trig euscript mathcal?

Hi Zhaopeng,

I have no problem here, just \usemodule[amsl] and $\cal K$ provides a fancy $K$

To use euler as your main math typescript, you can use

\definetypeface[mainface][mm][math][euler][euler][encoding=texnansi]

with an appropriate roman font (usually, I use palatino for text, and 
artemisia for presentations).

If you just want to use euler caligraphic, without changing other math 
fonts (although I do not think that euler blends well with lm), you can 
modify the idea of http://wiki.contextgarden.net/rsfs

I personally consider amsl module to be deprecated. Currently, context has 
alternative ways of doing most of what amsl used to do. I would suggest 
against using it.

This method works well for most letters, both bold and italic, but for
capital Greek \Omega \Gamma etc, bold but upright. Do you know how to make
these letters in italic?

As Zhichu said, \cal gives exactly euscripts.

That is how Euler capital letters are supposed to look. It imitates the 
handwriting of mathematicians, which is upright and not italic. I do not 
know if there is a font that contains italic capital greek letters to 
match euler. If a font exists, it should be possible to use it in ConTeXt.

As you say, the hardwritten appearance is a feature of the euler fonts,
and I don't think you can find a matching font elsewhere. Hermann Zapfs
design is so distinctive that everything else will look out of place.

Best wishes,

Thank you for the information. I can still bear to use upright \Omega.
