Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ How to get lower case calligraphic font in math mode?

[ramin]

I want to use calligraphic style for my lower case letters in math mode in latex.
Searching throughout the internet, I have found to hinting solutions

1. Using boondox/dutchcal/mathalfa http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/ ... ic-symbols, or
2. Using frcursive http://latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1404

However, I am getting errors on using each of the above solutions on MiKTeX 2.9 on windows.

What I am using for option 1. is the following:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{mathalfa}
...
\mathbcal{c}

But it gives the error

Package mathalfa Error: There is no bold variant of the calligraphic font. ... = \left(\mathcal{A},\mathcal{B},\mathbcal{c}

Using option 2. as follows:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{frcursive}
\newenvironment{frcseries}{\fontfamily{frc}\selectfont}{}
\newcommand{\textfrc}[1]{{\frcseries#1}}
\newcommand{\mathfrc}[1]{\text{\textfrc{#1}}}
...
\mathfrc{c}

gives the error

Font OT1/frc/m/it/12=frcsl12 at 12.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found. ... \left(\mathcal{A},\mathcal{B},\mathfrc{c}

But if I use dutchcal for option 1. as

Code: Select all

\usepackage{dutchcal}
...
\mathbcal{c}

I am getting the lowercase fonts which is too slanted to use.

Is there any easy way to get calligraphic lowercase letters in math mode?

Okay! It seems like I myself have found a solution using the package pzccal as posted in the link - What are the options to get \mathcal working for lower case letters?.

Code: Select all

\usepackage{pzccal}
\DeclareFontFamily{OT1}{pzc}{}
\DeclareFontShape{OT1}{pzc}{m}{it}{<-> s * [1.10] pzcmi7t}{}
\DeclareMathAlphabet{\mathpzc}{OT1}{pzc}{m}{it}
...
\mathpzc{c}
