wasy symbol set

wasy symbol set

Hi ho!

I needed some symbols from the wasy fonts (known from the LaTeX  
package wasysym), and here's the whole set for you. ;-)
The ZIP contains the module symb-was.tex, the font map original- 
wasy.map and a test tex file.
(The wasy fonts live in http://dante.ctan.org/CTAN/fonts/wasy2/, but  
they're part of most TeX installations.)

I left out the mathematical operators and integrals for I don't know  
nothing about math and I guess that the stuff is already part of core  
math.

symb-was.tex addresses only wasy10 (see below), but there are also  
wasy5-9 and wasyb10 (bold?) - how can I use these? (Don't know if  
that makes any sense.)

\definefontsynonym [WaSy] [wasy10]
\def\WaldiSymbol#1{\getglyph{WaSy}{\char#1}}

If someone can tell if the math stuff is needed and if the font  
design size issue is fixed, I'd be happy if this module would make it  
into the core distribution.

define:

\definefontsynonym [WaldiSymbol]     [wasy10]
\definefontsynonym [WaldiSymbolBold] [wasyb10]

\def\WaldiSymbol#1{\getglyph{WaldiSymbol}{\char#1}}

plus your further defs, and you get bold for free:

\symbol[wasy general][male] {\bf \symbol[wasy general][male]

this is because getglyph is kind of clever -)

I'll add a (slightly patched) version of your file to the distribution

Oh, me stupid, could have thought of that myself.

But what about the different design sizes?
I don't think that makes much sense here, but how would I address them?

Great! My first contribution. ;-)

just pretend that there is only 10pt

by some kind of clever mapping where the name is taken from a control 
sequence with 10pt as fall back; a few lines of code probably, but not 
worth the effort

Ok; I thought I'd remember some typescript magic with "sized" fonts,  
but couldn't find it; no wonder if it's not possible. ;-)
