This is a very short question : how do I produce the blackboard bold letters in the second column (the one that reads "Text") of this document? It seems to me that the package eulervm uses the same blackboard bold as the standard math font in Latex, and I would like to replace the standard blackboard bold with that of the linked document.

\documentclass[11pt]{scrartcl} 
\usepackage{amsmath, amsfonts, amssymb, amsthm}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{pplx}
\usepackage{eulervm}
\usepackage{dsfont}
\begin{document}
I want the blackboard bold letters from the \textit{second} column.
$\mathbb{ABCDEFG}\mathds{ABCDEFG}$
\end{document}

  • that is the package documentation for a package called dsfont (so it says in the page you reference, so add \usepackage{dsfont} then use the latex commands shown in the table – David Carlisle Sep 15 '14 at 22:40
  • @DavidCarlisle When I use the dsfont package (by adding \usepackage{dsfont} in the preamble), the blackboard bold letters I get in the document correspond to that of the third column. I don't know how to get those of the second column. – Olivier Bégassat Sep 15 '14 at 22:45

    You've been on the site long enough to know that every question should have a complete small document that shows the problem: please edit the question:-) – David Carlisle Sep 15 '14 at 22:47
  • \usepackage[sans]{dsfont} (which are not those in the left column, those of the first column resemble the \mathbb from fourier package). – Manuel Sep 15 '14 at 22:52
  • @Manuel when I use the sans option for the package, I gt a different result. – Olivier Bégassat Sep 15 '14 at 22:54
  • http://ctan.org/pkg/doublestroke for the documentation? – cfr Sep 15 '14 at 22:55
  • \mathds{ABC} according to the documentation? The sans option causes \mathds to use a different alphabet. – cfr Sep 15 '14 at 22:57
  • the document you reference uses xits-math fonts for comparison to dsfonts so presumably you want \mathbb from xits-math – David Carlisle Sep 15 '14 at 22:59
  • @DavidCarlisle @Manuel How can I use only the blackboard bold from some package, while using eulervm for the rest? – Olivier Bégassat Sep 15 '14 at 23:01
  • Look here – Manuel Sep 15 '14 at 23:02
  • You can examine the source of the PDF you linked to see how the symbols are created. However, I think you will need to use XeTeX/LuaTeX, though I'm not certain - maybe there is an alternative for TeX. – cfr Sep 15 '14 at 23:10
  • @Manuel thanks, this seems to be what I need, however, it seems not to work with eulervm... – Olivier Bégassat Sep 15 '14 at 23:14
  • Did you try loading it before eulervm? – cfr Sep 15 '14 at 23:16

Example from the manual:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{dsfont}
\begin{document}
\[\mathds{N}=\{0,1,2,\ldots\}\]
\[\mathds{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ}\]
\end{document}

serif doublestroke

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[sans]{dsfont}
\begin{document}
\[\mathds{N}=\{0,1,2,\ldots\}\]
\[\mathds{ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ}\]
\end{document}

sans doublestroke

\documentclass[11pt]{scrartcl} 
\usepackage{amsmath,amsfonts,amssymb,amsthm}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\renewcommand*\rmdefault{pplx}
\usepackage{eulervm}
\usepackage[bb=boondox]{mathalfa}
\begin{document}
I want the blackboard bold letters from the \emph{second} column.
$\mathbb{ABCDEFG}$
\end{document}

Instead of boondox you could use fourier, or esstix.
