I have noticed that the font category mathcal does not work with Greek letters as inputs, probably because nobody has created any sort of "calligraphic Greek font family". Is there any sort of font package or environment which does this?

  • I have never seen that, and I wonder if it makes sense. Do you have any particular Greek letter in mind that you would like to have in calligraphic form? – mickep Nov 13 '22 at 10:46
  • A whole alphabet (including uppercase and lowercase) would be interesting to see. Something that delineates it from the default Greek letters used by LaTeX users. – OGBond Nov 13 '22 at 10:59
  • Do you know any Greek calligraphers (or are you one yourself)? – OGBond Nov 13 '22 at 10:59
  • you could of course use different Greek fonts even if not designed for math, especially if using luatex or xetex. Random google search for calligraphic Greek fonts shows several eg https://mollysuberthorpe.com/news/greek-calligraphy – David Carlisle Nov 13 '22 at 10:59

    Unicode (and unicode-math package already have some distinguished Greek alphabets, bold, bold sans serif,etc – David Carlisle Nov 13 '22 at 11:05
  • what about Euler Math? It has a distinctive calligraphic style, and the full (* at least full for maths) Greek alphabet. See: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/103986/15036 – Thruston Nov 13 '22 at 11:10
  • Greek italic is in origin and design calligraphic/hand-written (see Unicode Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols, and unicode-math). Look at the Tex Gyre xxx - Math fonts, for example (/fonts/opentype/public/...). Tex Gyre Pagella - Math, e.g., p1 and p2. – Cicada Nov 13 '22 at 11:30
