Calligraphic math alphabet with xits

Calligraphic math alphabet with xits

[Aditya Mahajan]

Hi,

There are two calligraphic shapes in math, calligraphic (e.g., \cal) and 
script (e.g., \scr from RSFS). The default shape of \cal with xits is more 
like RSFS \scr than \cal. Does xits also have a less stylistic variant for 
calligraphic letters? If so, how can I select that?

Aditya

$ABC \cal ABC \mathalternate{cal}\cal ABC$

There are few other defined alternates in xits-math.lfg.

(I need to write some useful documentation one day)

While at it, Hans, here is an updated copy of the file (adding yet
another stylistic set). Since I keep adding stylistic sets, should I
maintain the file and bundle it with XITS? So that users of texlive
would get updated file with new font releases without the need to update
ConTeXt.

 Khaled
