- Well,
-
- first, using blackbord bold for q.m. operators is not an conventional
- notation. Conventional notations are:
- * Adding a \hat as a diacritic to denote operators
- * Using upright type for operators (e.g. Landau/Lifschitz, Lehrbuch der
- theoretischen Physik), including the distinction bold math italic
- (vectors) vs. bold roman (vector operators).
-
- However, everything can easily be done with TeX, especially with the
- AMS-LaTeX macro package. In this macro package the relevant control
- sequences are:
- \boldsymbol{A} % bold math italic A
- \bold{A} % bold roman A inside math mode
- \bbold{A} % blackbord bold A (indeed rather an outlined A), only
- % available for uppercase letters.
-
- With the bbold fonts by Alan Jeffrey and the style option bbold, you can
- use a complete blackbord bold set, including lowers, numbers, and other
- things you might not need. Those fonts look like the traditional blackbord
- bold (sans serif-style).
-
- Yours, J"org Knappen.
